Three Key Concepts from Wellness Pioneer John W. Travis, MD, MPH (Originator of Wellness Inventory)
The Illness-Wellness Continuum Key Concept #1: Wellness is a process, never a static state. This model shows the relationship of the Wellness and Treatment Paradigms. Moving from the center to the left shows a progressively worsening state of health. Moving to the right of center indicates increasing levels of health and well-being. The Treatment Paradigm can only take you to the neutral point, where the symptoms of disease have been alleviated. The Wellness Paradigm, utilized at any point on the continuum, moves one towards ever higher levels of wellbeing.
The Illness-Wellness Continuum Think of the continuum as a pathway. People can be headed in either direction. A person who is generally physically healthy, but who is always worrying about their health and complaining, may be to the right of the neutral point, but may be facing towards the left, in the direction of premature death. A person who is physically or mentally challenged may have a positive outlook and be cultivating love instead of fear, and consequently may be facing to the right, in the direction of high-level wellness.
The Iceberg Model of Health Key Concept #2: Illness and Health are only the tip of an iceberg. To understand their causes you must look below the surface.
The Wellness Energy System Key Concept #3: We are energy transformers. All our life processes, including health and illness depend on how we manage energy. Putting together a person’s energy inputs and outputs we have the complete wellness energy system. These 12 life processes are the basis of the Wellness Inventory.
What is Wellness? John W. Travis, MD, MPH Wellness is a choice….a decision you make to move toward optimal health. Wellness is a way of life…. a lifestyle you design to achieve your highest potential for well-being. Wellness is a process….a developing awareness that there is no end point but that health and happiness are possible in each moment, here and now. Wellness is the integration of the body, mind, and spirit….the appreciation that everything you do, and think, and feel, and believe has an impact on your state of health. Wellness is the loving acceptance of yourself.

The Personal Wellness SolutionYour Patients’ Experience of the Wellness Inventory Program
Step 1 – Assessment Patients assess themselves online in 12 dimensions of wellness.
There are 10 statements for each dimension - 120 statements total. Each statement describes a wellness action, skill, belief, attitude or awareness.The assessment generally takes 30-45 minutes to complete. If a patient is unable to complete the assessment at one sitting, they can save their results and login at a later time to complete it. About the Assessment
“Approach the assessment in Learning Mode, with an attitude of mindfulness and a spirit of self-discovery.”
The Wellness Inventory is both an education tool and an assessment.
Creating a Personal Wellness Plan A key feature of the Wellness Inventory enables a patient to create their own personalized wellness action plan consisting of 3-5 focused action steps by following some simple guidelines. This is a key area where a wellness coach can be of enormous benefit to a patient in creating a realistic wellness action steps based upon the specific dimensions of wellness the patient is most motivated to change, as revealed by their assessment results.
Note: After creating their action steps, the patient will be asked to name their plan in the next step (Step 3). We suggest creating a name that is personally meaningful. Or, it may be more playful or fun. In Step 4 patients will be asked to select how frequently they want to receive their personal wellness plan as an email reminder. There are options to select daily, weekly, or any combination of days of the week.
Name Your Wellness Plan • Patient selects a name for their wellness action plan. In this case –“My Amazing Wellness Adventure.”
Virtual Coaching, Updating Plan, Follow Up • Email Reminders (Virtual Coach): Your patients will receive their completed Wellness Action Plan as a regular email reminder (daily, specific days of the week, or weekly) at the patient’s prerogative. Email reminders serve to keep patients engaged in the wellness program between appointments, accountable to the commitments in their Wellness Action Plan, and motivated to stay improve their overall lifestyle and state of wellbeing. • Patients can edit and update their Wellness Action Plan from their Personal Wellness Home Page. The Wellness Action Plan is dynamic and may be updated throughout the year to reflect their changing wellness and lifestyle focus. • A wellness coach is invaluable in supporting the creation or revising the patient’s Wellness Action Plan throughout the year.
