Is Your Doctor Too Busy for Meaningful Conversations?

Discover the Alternative Medicine Practitioner Solution

Many people complain about the short time they have when at their doctor’s office. Unfortunately, doctors in the US are the busiest people, and while many of them would love to spend more time with their patients, it’s not always possible in a regular medical setting. That’s why I chose to become an alternative medicine practitioner. I want to listen to my patient’s concerns and have a conversation with them every time they have a session with me.

I have several modalities at my disposal to support my clients one person at a time, providing the attention and care they long for. Here’s what I have to offer:

  • My understanding of biomedicine, such as pharma and biotech-oriented medicine.
  • An open mind – I can work with you along with your current medical treatments without interfering with the medicines your doctor has prescribed, if any.
  • Integrity – I advise seeking medical treatment when needed.
  • Passion and a sense of urgency to support the body’s natural capacity to heal and maintain integrity.
  • I will tell you if I see any concerning situations that your doctor needs to look at, and I will be honest with you and push you to get the medical attention you need if that is the case.

Given everything I’ve mentioned, I can only take direct care of a few clients. My goal is to teach and empower people to make the right choices and take the steps needed to achieve long-term wellness and well-being. Needless to say, this approach takes time and work.

For a short period of time, I am offering a few complementary sessions, if you are interested please answer the brief questionnaire to see if I believe I can really support you and you will get one of four places set aside for the Stay Cool in Mid-Life and Beyond complimentary session.

TCM and Cystic Fibrosis

TCM and Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that disrupts the normal function of the epithelial cells in the body.  Epithelial cells line the passageways of many of our vital organs, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, reproductive system and the skin. Those who have cystic fibrosis have a defective gene that impairs epithelial cell function. This can lead to a buildup of sticky mucus throughout the body that may eventually lead to lung damage and chronic coughing, affecting how patients with cystic fibrosis breathe and filter air, digest their food and absorb the nutrients from that food. In the United States alone, there are nearly 12 million people who suffer from this disease. Unfortunately, there is no known cure and most of those affected with the disease only live into their 20s and 30s. Current modern medicine treatments focus on increasing the quality of life by managing symptoms. continue reading »
