Iceberg Model
Illness and Health are only the tip of the iceberg. To understand their causes, you must look
below the surface.
Dr. Travis Key Concept #3
Wellness Energy System: We are all energy transformers, connected with the whole
universe. All our life processes, including illness, depends on how we manage energy. The
efficient flow of energy is essential to wellness.
Wellness Energy System
How you manage your energy has an impact on how you manage your health
Energy Inputs
Three major sources for energy input around are around us all the time. These are..
1) Oxygen (breathing)
2) Food (eating)
3) Sensory Stimulation (sensing) such as physical touch, heat, light, sound, and other forms
of electromagnetic radiation.
Energy Outputs
You are the channel or the transformer of energy sources.
Internal Output
We use part of the energy we take in to maintain the channel, to build and repair the body
itself and much of it occurs during our all-important sleep periods.
External Output
The outside world will also be affected by the ways you transform energy.
You radiate heat and eliminate waste products in the form of urine, perspiration, carbon
dioxide, and the shedding of dead skin.
