Mainstream health care is largely focused on treating acute problems and managing chronic disease. In this model, unfortunately, medical interventions often occur only once illnesses are too serious to cure, medical costs have escalated, or the chance of maintaining quality of life has decreased. Health care professionals and organizations are becoming more aware of the importance of focusing on preventative measures and fostering long-term well-being. Unfortunately, the health care system is limited by restrictions that allow little time for personalized care, lifestyle counseling, and health education.

The Anthropedia Foundation, led by a council of experts, applies a scientific approach to create comprehensive methods of physical and mental health recovery and maintenance. Our approach is supported by the latest research in the Science of Well-Being and integrative medicine, including studies on positive psychology, personality, neurophysiology, nutrition, self-awareness, and the mind-body connection.

By referring patients to Anthropedia’s well-being resources and products, physicians can encourage patients to take responsibility for their health. This enables physicians to focus on treating acute problems while simultaneously providing patients with ways to improve their health and overall sense of well-being on their own. To increase efficiency, doctors can also coach staff to study Anthropedia’s materials and work with patients to assess individual health risks and implement self-care plans.

The TCI
The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) is an internationally recognized personality test developed by Dr. C. Robert Cloninger. The TCI assesses different traits of human personality and provides a detailed analysis of them. Each person has a unique configuration of emotions and higher cognitive processes. However, our personality taken as a whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. While each of these traits has independent effects on our personality, their interactions also contribute to our dispositions, attitudes, and worldviews.
