THE 7 ELEMENTS OF HEALTH
A Unique Approach to Holistic Healing
Addressing the whole system...
Health is a dynamic, inclusive, and interdependent condition.
Dr. Malia designed her sustainable wellness program around her 7 Elements of Health model. The elements include physical, psychological, financial, ecological, socio-cultural, economic, and spiritual health. Unlike other programs that typically focus on one health factor (or barrier) at a time, Dr. Malia addresses the whole system.
“Addressing all 7 Elements is essential because they’re interdependent,” she explains. “And each play a critical role in achieving optimal health.”
To accommodate the needs of “all life,” health includes multiple elements. Dr. Malia suggests there are 7 Elements of Health. Although they are prioritized based on their significance for survival (1st, 2nd, 3rd as shown in the image above), they are interdependent.
The 7 elements are categorized into three areas of focus: ALL, ME, and WE
The element that stands alone in the ALL factor, addresses the spiritual aspect of health.
The ME factors address the personal aspects of health, including physical, psychological, and financial.
The WE factors address the collective aspects of health, including ecological, socio-cultural, and economic.
