Delia Chiaramonte, MD is a physician whose life took an unexpected turn when her twelve year old daughter, Katrina,  suffered a severe brain injury. Delia believed she understood the challenges faced by caregivers—until she became one herself. Katrina's, and Delia's, journey began with a riding accident. Despite following medical advice to rest her brain, Katerina's condition worsened. She suffered from excruciating headaches, cognitive impairments, and a complete personality shift. The conventional medical approach offered little relief, and Delia found herself navigating a maze of specialists and treatments with no clear solution in sight. It wasn't until Delia combined her medical knowledge with complementary therapies that they began to see progress. They incorporated a variety of treatments, including neurofeedback, vision therapy, guided imagery, and even surgery. Delia emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach, stating,   “We need a bigger toolbox where we pull the best things that this person needs.”   This integrative approach not only helped Katrina recover but also transformed Delia's perspective on medicine. She now advocates for integrative palliative care, which combines conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies to address both the physical and emotional needs of patients and their families. Delia's journey underscores the critical role of caregivers and the need for a holistic approach to medicine. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is not just about treating symptoms but about addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're a caregiver, a medical professional, or someone interested in holistic healing, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in now and discover the power of integrative medicine and palliative care.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.

Hospice is a teeny tiny part of palliative care.” - Delia Chiaramonte [09:21] “When someone might die, they often change the way they're living.

Dr. Chiaramonte explains that palliative care is symptom-focused care for individuals with serious illnesses, regardless of whether they are seeking a cure.

Dr. Chiaramonte provides insights into how palliative care can be integrated into a patient's existing treatment plan and offers advice on how families can care for their loved ones without depleting themselves. The conversation also touches on the importance of having tough conversations and preparing for end-of-life decisions.Dr. Delia Chiaramonte is a board-certified physician specializing in family medicine, palliative medicine, and integrative holistic medicine.

Do you use anchoring? Anchoring is a powerful tool that you can use to help manage stress even when you are out and about or in a meeting with a frustrating boss.Just like Pavlov's dogs salivated when the bell rang because they connected the bell with yummy meat, you can train your physiology to connect your sense of relaxation with any anchor that you choose. You can use this approach to manage your stress, anxiety, depression, pain, insomnia, and so much more.Try it out and let me know how it works for you!Delia Chiaramonte, MDwww.integrativepalliative.comCreating Integrative Palliative Solutions for Hospices and Clinicians Who Care for People With Serious IllnessPlease review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

Caring for an individual with a serious medical diagnosis can be difficult for patients, their families, and caregivers. For some, a palliative care professional can make a big difference. On this episode, we welcome Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, an integrative, palliative care physician and medical educator, who helps seriously ill patients live their best life. By going beyond symptom management, forward thinking palliative care professionals aim to develop a model of care that places the individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing at the center. Integrative palliative care combines conventional and complementary approaches. It has been shown to provide significant benefits to patients, including improved symptom management, better relationships with healthcare providers, and increased satisfaction with care. In this episode, we discuss mind-body tools for symptom relief, experiencing joy while living with a serious condition, confronting the fear of mortality, the growing use of psychedelics in terminal care, the advantages of team-based care, and improving overall quality of care for individuals.

Buprenorphine gets a bad rap. Many physicians aren't clear on how to use it and we tend to shy away from things we don't understand.

Instead, we should learn more and increase our comfort so we can best care for all of our patients.That's where Dr. Ben Thompson comes in.

Do you know someone battling cancer or a long-term illness who is always in pain? You need to listen to this episode with Dr. Chiaramonte. We will talk about whole-person care for people with serious illnesses using all the tools that work. We will talk about why combining integrative and palliative medicine creates healing and reduces suffering for patients with serious illnesses so much better than either approach alone. Delia Chiaramonte, MD, is an integrative palliative medicine physician passionate about physician education. She spent a decade as the Associate Director and Director of Education for the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland medical school, and she is board certified in palliative medicine. Most recently, she ran an integrative palliative medicine program, serving mostly cancer patients. Seeing the power of this unique model, she started The Institute for Integrative Palliative Medicine with the goal of training 1,000 physicians to provide “whole person care for people with serious illness using all the tools that work.” Contact Chiaramonte Linkedin.com/in/deliachiaramonte Facebook.com/InstituteIntPalMed Twitter.com/Drchiaramonte --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/urcaringdocs/message

Dr. Delia Chiaramonte, a faculty member in the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, teaches us about the perils of black and white thinking, the benefits of gratitude rituals, and how taking a shower can be an act of meditation.
