THE 5 PILLARS OF HEALTH
Simple strategies for a healthier you. Built on experience. Backed by science.
INTRODUCING...
The 5 Pillars of Health is a comprehensive guide for taking control of your health.

This online program is made up of 5 individual courses covering each of the 5 pillars of health, as defined in Dr Ron Ehrlich's book: A Life Less Stressed: The five pillars of health and wellness. 

Dr Ron has developed these ideas over his 40 years of clinical practice as a holistic dentist at Sydney Holistic Dental Centre. 

It is broken down into the following pillars:
  • Sleep - A consistently good night's sleep is your body's built-in, life-support system giving you the physical, mental and emotional resilience to deal with the stresses of our modern world.
  • Breathe - Breathing is something we tend to give very little thought to but it has a PROFOUND impact on our health. Learn how to breathe well throughout the day and during sleep.
  • Nourish - Do you find nutritional advice confusing? In this module learn some guiding principles for eating, how to eat, what to eat and what to avoid.
  • Movement - Building movement into your day is the simplest, cheapest and most accessible way of improving your physical and mental health.
  • Thought - Awareness of how you think and understanding how those thoughts may be affecting your wellbeing is an important aspect of your health in our busy world.

ABOUT DR RON
Over 40 years of clinical practice Dr Ron Ehrlich has developed a holistic approach to health and wellness, as well as a comprehensive model of how stress impacts on our lives. Empowering individuals and organisations is his passion.

His new book A Life Less Stressed: the five pillars of health and wellness explores:

> Why public health messages are so confusing and contradictory looking at the role of the food and pharmaceutical industries in all levels of health care.

> The five stresses in life that break us down: emotional, environmental, nutritional, postural and dental stressors.

> The five pillars of health to build physical, mental and emotional resilience: sleep, breathe, nourish, movement and thought.

These are themes he explores and expands on each week with world leaders in his weekly podcast Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich. The model has also shaped his keynotes and workshops for the public, corporates and health professionals, both locally and internationally.

Dr Ron is in clinical practice and continues to see patients at his group practice, the Sydney Holistic Dental Centre in Sydney CBD.

Dr Ron's passion is to convert confusion to clarity and information to knowledge. To empowering individuals to fulfil their potential, take control of their health, build resilience and be the best you can be.
