Dr. Trangco-Evans believes that most physical conditions can be prevented, reversed, or palliated to a state where the person can function and enjoy life to the fullest. Her belief is that there is a strong correlation in the physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological aspects of a human being. Addressing just one aspect of these compartments will make an imbalanced approach to achieve good health and happiness. Good nutrition, balanced regular exercise and peace of mind are keys to obtain good health. Resolving inter-personal issues and unburdening the heart of emotional baggage can unlock the door to true health and quality of life.
