The framework
The 7 Foundations
Rather than focusing on one aspect of health in isolation, the ONE HEALTH 7 helps people consider how movement, breathing, fuel, sleep, everyday behaviours, social connection and recovery interact in their own lives.
Each foundation brings education, practical strategies and the chance to consider how it applies to your own life.
