Now it's time to start your detective work by filling out the general
health questionnaire. It's similar to the one I use in my office
for my own patients. It not only gives me insight into what may
be going on with them but also allows them to become familiar with
my approach.
These are somewhat different from the usual physician
questions because they focus on conditions that are bodywide and
are not restricted to the individual systems (e.g., cardiovascular
or respiratory). You'll be the only one who will read your answers,
and, in order to get to the root of your health problems, it's essential
for you to be completely honest. You should copy these pages and
put them in your journal.
Fill out the entire questionnaire. It's important
to do all the sections, even if you think they don't apply to you.
You'll notice that some symptoms are involved in several imbalances.

give you some more clues about the direction you'll need to take
to regain your health. Then you will create your action plan based
on what you've discovered. This will include food, supplements,
activities, and further investigation, including lab tests.
In the entries for Week 2 in your Wellness Journal,
make a note of the imbalances you are further investigating. Here
