| My Doctor Says I'm Fine ... So Why Do I Feel So Bad is about the processes that create imbalances in our bodies and how to identify them between the time of true health and the onset of disease. Five interrelated concepts from Eastern medicine describe these processes: The concept of qualities: how certain qualities such as hot and cold, dry and wet, and light and heavy impact health. The relationship between qualities and balance: imbalances can be created by "too much" or "too little" of any quality. The interaction of matter and energy: the transformation of matter into energy and vice versa is constantly occurring in every human being. Food, for example, is a form of matter we ingest to create energy. Exercise converts more matter into energy. Lack of exercise can lead to weight gain. The nature of body type or constitution: each person is a unique expression of body type, mind and consciousness. This uniqueness is expressed at the physical, emotional/mental and spiritual levels, together referred to as one's constitution. How constitution is affected by qualities: "too much" or "too little" of any quality affects all levels of our basic constitution.
