Noncommunicable Disease and the Worlds We Conserve
A Maturana-Informed Framework for Organism-Niche Coherence, Clinical Care, and Public HealthBy Dr. Bichara SahelyLength1h
About this audiobook
Noncommunicable Disease and the Worlds We Conserve reframes chronic illness through a Maturana-informed lens of organism–niche coherence. Rather than viewing NCDs only as failures inside individual bodies, this audiobook shows how hypertension, diabetes, obesity, respiratory disease, cancer vulnerability, kidney disease, and mental health burdens emerge within conserved patterns of living shaped by emotion, language, family, food systems, work, commerce, care systems, climate, and policy. Grounded in evidence-based medicine while expanding its relational depth, it invites clinicians, public-health leaders, communities, and policymakers to move from blame and compliance toward co-created conditions for healthier ways of living.
