About the App
The app and website
Holistic Human is a private place to learn and practice whole-person wellness of body, mind, and spirit. It is the companion to holistichuman.life and to Live Free or Diet, written by Dr. Kurt Bravata, a family physician and addiction medicine specialist. The aim is to help you B.E. W.E.L.L: Be Equipped With Education, Light & Love.
Think of the website as the main library. Read the physician blog, browse health topics and holistic modalities, and find guidance on diet, exercise, and comprehensive health and wellness. Books and other materials are on holistichuman.life. The book is at livefreeordietbook.com, Amazon, and Audible.
Think of the app as the place to practice and grow, on your phone, tablet, or computer. Use the journal, set goals and reminders, follow the 30-day reading, and track food, water, and movement. Your notes stay on this device. They do not follow you to a new phone unless you download a backup.
Use whichever parts fit your goals, needs, and preferences. Nothing here replaces your own clinician, and using this site does not create a physician-patient relationship.
