The VA Whole Health program represents one of the largest person centered health initiatives in the world. This introductory guide explains a whole health approach that emphasizes what matters most to you, selfcare skills, and looking beyond symptoms to the full picture of health.
We have included this resource because it aligns closely with our philosophy of Selfcare as Healthcare. The Whole Health model recognizes that true wellness requires attention to the whole person, not just individual symptoms.
At Nepute Wellness, we believe that great health education comes from many sources. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs developed the Whole Health program as a comprehensive approach to person centered care, and its principles closely align with what we believe: health is more than the absence of disease, and selfcare is a powerful foundation for wellness.
The Whole Health approach is built around the “Circle of Health,” which identifies key areas that contribute to overall wellbeing: working your body, food and drink, recharge (sleep and renewal), surroundings, personal development, spirit and soul, relationships, and the power of the mind.
This model reflects what functional and integrative practitioners have long understood: health is not just about managing one condition at a time. It is about supporting the whole person across multiple dimensions of life.
One of the core messages of the Whole Health program is that selfcare is not optional; it is foundational. This aligns directly with our own principle of “Selfcare as Healthcare.” When you actively participate in your own health through mindful choices about nutrition, movement, stress management, and rest, you create a foundation that supports everything else.
The Whole Health approach encourages asking “what matters to you?” rather than “what is the matter with you?” This shift in perspective is at the heart of root cause thinking. Instead of focusing only on symptoms, it asks what the person needs to thrive as a whole.

Yes, BioLimitless products are available for purchase directly through biolimitless.com without requiring a Nepute Wellness examination. However, our “Test, Don’t Guess” philosophy means that products recommended after proper testing are targeted to your specific biochemistry rather than being a general guess.
If you want to maximize the value of supplementation, consider starting with a consultation so your provider can identify exactly what your body needs based on blood work, brain mapping, and other diagnostic data.
Functional medicine consultations and advanced testing (DNA, HRV, thermography) are generally offered on a direct-pay basis rather than billed to insurance. Most plans don’t cover this kind of root-cause work, and we’d rather be upfront than have you chase a claim that won’t land. Your in-person clinical services, including chiropractic, can be billed to insurance, though what’s covered depends on your individual plan and provider. Bring your details and our team will help you sort out what applies. Test, Don’t Guess.
In-person examination deposits ($50) are non-refundable but may be applied toward rescheduling your appointment. If you need to cancel, please contact our team at least 24 hours in advance so we ca
