The synergistic blends of eastern and western health care practices, psychology and spirituality, and effective body/mind/emotion/spirit practices have been an ardent focus for Troy since the early 1970′s. Troy sees the growing influence of these practices as a major change factor in the U.S. and world health care cultures. His vision is to bring this information to an increasingly larger audience through Wellbeing Lifestyles™ .
