Living Systems
Core Principles of Life
Life is an aggregate; a network of irreducible relationships. There is no life outside of a relationship. Human beings are relational beings who are a part of an irreducible ecosystem of life here on planet earth.
Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are current epidemics according to most medical professionals. Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are broken relationships with our ecosystem. These diseases are primarily caused by eating animal based foods. A dead animal diet is a system of death.
We are molecular beings. Life and food sources are an exchange of atoms. Longevity and life are linked to antioxidants and living systems. Disease and death are linked to free radicals and dying systems.
Humans are multisensory beings...spirit, mind and body.
LIVING SYSTEM HEALTH is a multisensory approach to lifestyle, healing and medicine.

Relational and Spiritual Healing
I grew up in a family that loved, thoughtful discussions, animals, and the great outdoors. Many family vacations were spent in beautiful places and visiting relatives. Visiting fascinating sites and relatives became a way of life for the Sanker family.
These experiences made a deep impression on my mind as a young boy. As I grew older, I realized I felt the best when I was in the great outdoors, hiking, surfing, scuba diving, or water skiing. I also realized I enjoyed visiting family, cultural food, and hearing the stories of my distant relatives. Through these experiences, I finally met a Higher power, the Creator of all things. After this encounter, I would tell people I finally felt complete. I would later discover through my educational and spiritual journey "Living Systems." Living Systems taught me as a young pastor and seminarian life is an ecosystem, an aggregate, a network of fundamental relationships.
My research into living systems led me to the conclusion there is a rhythm to sustainable life and a general biological design of growing and flourishing systems. I propose this general design to be used at all levels of relationships, personal to corporate for healing, holistic health, growth, and development. I believe God's creation holds many truths to significantly improve our lives if we are willing to observe and meticulously study it.
This discovery of intelligent systemic design gave birth to Living Systems Health.
Living Systems Health is a non-profit organization built on the principles of life's relational ecosystems. Living Systems Health is a multi-sensory approach to lifestyle, healing, and medicine. We desire to share this information with the world to witness the sustainable healing and restoration of individuals, communities, and our beautiful planet earth.
Earth's ecosystem has taught me that all of life is relational. Because of this fact, Living Systems Health concludes there is no life outside of a relationship! Thus, sustainable healing is a restoration of our primary relationships, spirit, mind, body and earth, the miracle, and life-giving power of intelligent design.

Lifestyle Medicine
My interest professionally in lifestyle medicine developed from a desire to find answers beyond patient care involving medications and procedures. I also became excited to discover that by implementing lifestyle habits in my life resulted in my having more energy, not getting the common cold six or more times every year and not having regular headaches. Lifestyle medicine provides improvement in my daily life now, not just alleviating my fear of having cancer or heart disease in the future. The daily changes bring results that can be appreciated the same day and I’m delighted to notice improvements continue over the days, months and years!
I started this journey in 2006 when I read the China Study. This revolutionized my understanding of how diet changes can reverse disease. Since then I have attended many of the annual conferences and immersed myself in the literature. Sharing this information with patients has brought about great satisfaction! Improvements in patient’s health can be achieved with limited sharing time during short office visits.

Lifestyle Medicine and Mental Health
As with many individuals, my interest in lifestyle medicine first started in my own personal life. I became vegetarian in college and saw the health benefits that it brought, and I have always been active with playing sports, running marathons, working out, and enjoying the outdoors. I witnessed first-hand how a healthy lifestyle can improve one’s health and mood.
I use a holistic approach in treating individuals, believing that the mind and the body are inextricably interrelated. Health issues such as obesity, chronic headaches, muscle tension, etc. are often due to underlying trauma and unresolved stress. Thus, as a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with individuals to understand how the body affects mental health and vice versa. With doctorates in psychology and public health, specializing in preventive care, my experience, focus and passion have been with helping individuals learn how to live healthy lifestyles, reduce incidences of chronic disease, obesity, and regular headaches. Lifestyle medicine provides improvement in my daily life now, not just alleviating my fear of having cancer or heart disease in the future. The daily changes bring results that can be appreciated the same day and I’m delighted to notice improvements continue over the days, months and years!
