“We now understand in the rapidly growing field of traumatology, those kinds of traumas can be more damaging to our nervous system regulation and the state of our brain than adverse childhood experiences.” - Dr. Lissa Rankin  Dr. Lissa Rankin didn't expect to go down a particular path when she left her promising career as an OBGYN in 2007. The plan was to focus on her own health and well-being during a two-year sabbatical, but she soon came face-to-face with people who were doing all the right things – eating well, yoga, and other popular wellness practices – yet they were some of the sickest people she had ever met. When she started asking them deep-rooted questions about their lives, her passion and purpose suddenly revealed itself. She realized what was holding people back from feeling better – developmental trauma. In today's episode, Dr. Michelle Robin invites Dr. Rankin to unpack the story behind what made her go around the globe to collect tools from the world's medicine bag (from experts, traditions, faith healers, spiritual healers, energy healers). She was on a quest to find out how these things could transform lives – especially for those who weren't aware they experienced developmental trauma growing up. She'll also share about her latest book release called Sacred Medicine, and why developmental trauma is such a danger to our nervous system and our brain health.  About Today's Guests:  Lissa Rankin, MD, is a mind-body medicine physician, author of seven books, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, and mystic who researches radical remission, trauma-informed medicine, and spiritual healing.

I just finished reading an amazing book - Sacred Medicine, A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing. And in today's episode I'm talking with the author, Dr. Lissa Rankin. Lissa spent several years globetrotting the world to understand healing and bridge the gap between traditional and alternative medicine. From healers, to shamans to ancient rituals and energy healing, she really took a deep dive with a desire to understand how it all works. Whether you're in the traditional medicine camp or prescribe to the holistic, alternative camp, I think this episode will open your eyes up to the both the light and shadows that exist in both worlds and how to craft your own healing journey with your eyes wide open. Plus, you'll hear my story about how I tried an energy healing method the night before this conversation and what happened to me!

Lissa Rankin, MD, describes herself as a skeptic. She is a Western-trained ob-gyn, linear thinker, and evidence-informed scientist. In the same breath, however, she also describes herself as a mystic — an open-hearted, spiritually alive, empathic healer who has witnessed countless “miracles” of healing and has also experienced them firsthand herself. “I’m sort of a unicorn,” she says. Her private inquiries and outer discoveries have made her an unusual expert in the sometimes opposing worlds of conventional Western medicine and alternative healing. Rankin’s awakening began when she was thirty-six, only several years out from residency training. By this point, she was already disillusioned by her profession and “morally injured,” leaving the hospital where she worked, and eventually leaving clinical medicine altogether. Personally, she was taking seven prescription drugs for a variety of health conditions her doctors couldn’t cure, and she feared she wouldn’t live to forty. So she set off to learn what else might ease suffering when doctors say, “We’ve done all we can.”  Since then, Rankin has become a bestselling author, artist, activist, and thought leader in mind-body medicine, dedicated to “healing health care.” Having spent equal time practicing and studying in Western medicine as she has in complementary and alternative medicine (fourteen years in each), she is careful not to blindly praise one paradigm over another. “I found just as much shadow in that world [alternative medicine] as I did in the world of conventional medicine,” she writes. “You might say I’ve been a doe-eyed devotee of both camps, but I’ve also been disillusioned by both…both offer gems and garbage. Both can wow us with miracles or horrify us with malpractice….” Her latest explorations, which spanned a decade of deep investigation and culminated in her most recent book, Sacred Medicine: A Doctor’s Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing, took her from holy mountains, faith healers, and prayer circles to trauma experts, cutting-edge scientists, and leading psychologists. Guiding her were some of her fundamental questions: when it comes to healing from illness and injury, how is it that some people do everything right and stay sick, while others seem to do nothing extraordinary yet fully recover? How does faith healing work, or does it? Can we make ourselves miracle-prone, and if so, how? In response to the need for more holistically trained doctors and healthcare professionals, Rankin founded the Whole Health Medicine Institute. She also founded the nonprofit organization Heal At Last, a trauma-informed, physician-designed community wellness program modeled after 12 Step programs, that seeks to provide equal access to spiritual practices, as well as the healing of trauma and the “epidemic of loneliness.” She is the author of six books, including the New York Times bestseller, Mind Over Medicine. Her work has been featured across national media outlets, including O Magazine, The New York Times, CNN, Health, Women’s Health, and Cosmopolitan. Her TEDx talks have been viewed over 4M times, and she leads workshops online and at retreat centers around the US. She is currently consulting for a Biden task force on vaccine hesitancy as a trauma symptom. She resides in Northern California. Please join Dr. Cynthia Li in conversation with this gifted and lively “unicorn” of a doctor as we explore the mysteries of healing together.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Lissa Rankin, M.D., physician, speaker, New York Times bestselling author & Founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute. After years as a practicing OB/GYN physician, Lissa Rankin decided there had to be a better way to live into her purpose for becoming a physician in the first place. She stepped away from the conventional practice of healthcare, but not away from caring for the health and well being of people. Observing the mind-body connection in healing with patients, Lissa set out to learn what makes it work for some and not others. She wrote Mind Over Medicine to tell the story. Her new book The Fear Cure: Cultivating Courage as Medicine for the Body, Mind, and Soul provides a look into fear as an inhibitor to healing, with a plan to move beyond it. Are you curious? Join Cheryl Esposito & Dr. Lissa Rankin to learn the art of well-being.

Dr. Bhaskar grew up in India in a relatively typical middle-class setting. Her parents dreamed that she become the first physician in her entire extended family. Being the firstborn and the classic "good child," Dr. Bhasker put her heart and soul into making their dream come true. By chance, she had an arranged marriage and moved to the US. After a stint in Kuwait, being a stay-at-home-mom to two young sons, she returned to the US to complete her residency in Internal Medicine. Dr. Bhaskar's family was reunited after spending a tough three years apart. She was initially happy in her job as a hospitalist. But after several years, Dr. Bhasker became disillusioned by the system, increasing administrative burden and the overall focus on "sick care." That's when her development journey began. In 2016, she became a Certified Facilitator of the Whole Health Medicine Institute program. The most relevant part of that training was "Heal the Healer." In 2017, she became a Certified Meditation Instructor under Susan Piver as she saw the effects of meditation and mindfulness in her own life. Her journey of self-discovery and healing is ongoing for herself as well as in the service of her clients. Dr. Bhasker is active on the AMWA (American Medical Women's Association) coaching committee and helps coach physicians and other healthcare professionals as part of CFI, Coaching for Institutions. She has more than 350 hours of coaching experience, and she loves watching her clients become more joyous, content, and emotionally at best they have ever been!!

BALANCING CONVENTIONAL & SACRED MEDICINE with LISSA RANKIN, MD     “I am not in the scientific materialism camp, and I am not in the new age camp. I am trying to be the camp of no camp. There is no reason we need to choose either conventional medicine or sacred medicine.” – Dr. Lissa Rankin [11:01]   “Be on the lookout for agendas dressed up in a holy drag.” – Dr. Lissa Rankin [26:30]         Episode Summary:   Have you ever wondered what really makes us sick? And how we really heal? Why do some people with the healthiest lifestyles get tragically, chronically or terminally ill? While others with bad habits get a disability free life until they're 100?   In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD, a medical doctor who has asked and deeply reseached all those questions in her new book,  Sacred Medicine: A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing.  Dr Rankin is a mind body medicine physician, author of seven books, and the founder of Whole Health Medicine Institute in the San Francisco Bay area of California, for physicians and health care providers who seek a transformative complement to traditional medical education. She researches radical remission, trauma informed medicine and spiritual healing.   Her TEDx talks have been viewed over 5 million times and she starred in two national public television specials, Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine, and The Fear Cure.  Lissa interest in the link between loneliness and disease has led her to spearhead her latest project, Heal At Last, a not-for-profit organization, which aims to bring effective trauma healing, and spiritual healing methods to anyone ready for the deep dive of healing.   Listen in to hear Dr. Lissa Rankin bridge between conventional medicine and sacred healing.     Topics We Discuss: [4:33]  Dr. Rankin experiences led her to her research. Her father was a medical doctor invested in conventional medicine, and her mother was a, religious and fundamentalist. Her own medical education was academic, dogmatic and rigorous.   [11:17] Trauma treatment can heal physical disease.   [19:21] No fault trauma. No blaming the victim. Even the people who traumatized you were traumatized themselves. The paradoxes of healing – you're not responsible for your disease and you are in charge of your healing. It's nuanced.   [21:30] Thoughts do influence our reality but do not control our reality. Distorted magical thinking is a trauma system.   [26:30] Why Dr. Rankin warns, “Be on the lookout for agendas dressed up in a holy drag.”   [31:45] How can we know when we are pushing our own agenda vs. tapping into higher level intuition of the wise, divine self?   [37:40] Emotions are full of energy and information. For example, anger can protect and defend boundaries.   [39:39] Spiritual bypassing. Falsely spiritualizing conflict avoidance. Using spirituality to avoid trauma and suppress pain. Misusing altered states. Often practiced by the boundary wounded.   [47:14] Premature forgiveness. Critical thinking in and around forgiveness. Legitimate forgiveness can follow if accountability and justice, results in genuine remorse and regret. But that is uncommon.   [50:01]  Abuse in the self-help industry and alternative healing arena. The importance of critical thinking when evaluating practitioners.   [55:57] The power of sacred sites. Reference renegade scientist Rupert Sheldrake. Morphic resonance.   [1:04:13] Dr. William Bengston's rigorous scientific research using hands-on healing to cure cancer in mice under controlled laboratory conditions.   [1:08:44] A ghost story embedded in an episode! Dr. Rankin's own extraordinary experiences around her own mom's funeral.   [1:18:45] Dr. Rankin answers Amy's speed round questions:   Spirituality means… What is something most people don't know about you? What are you looking forward to right now? What is one thing you are deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most transformative experience of your life?   [1:21:16] The many modes of healing available to mental health and other struggles…       FOLLOW DR.

Welcome to the Guerilla Muse podcast with Resmaa. Today I will be interviewing Dr. Lissa Rankin. She is a New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine and six other books, is a former OB/GYN physician, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute training program for doctors and therapists, radical remission researcher, and founder of the non-profit Heal At Last. After leaving her job in conventional medicine in 2007, Lissa began experimenting in her integrative medicine practice with what really helps resolve symptoms in people with chronic illness who have failed to improve with either conventional medicine or alternative medicine. All roads led to the same conclusion: People who are not responding to other treatments often have untreated, unhealed trauma, and treating that trauma can sometimes lead to seemingly miraculous radical remissions.

Episode 18: Howard Schubiner, the Director of the Mind Body program and the best physician you can ask for when you have chronic pain Dr. Schubiner is a clinical professor, Founder and Director of the Mind Body Medicine Center at Ascension Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI. He treats patients with chronic pain and makes their lives better. By curing or reducing the pain. He is my role model, I have first met him in September 2021 on a conference call as part of my participation in Whole Health Medicine Institute course, and my whole trajectory was changed after his lecture. I then took his course Freedom from Chronic pain and learned so much about pain, and what to do about it. And I want to be a little bit like him  I want to be myself, of course but a little bit like him  3:07 We started off by talking about Boulder Back pain study – the first of its kind, that showed that pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) works! For chronic back pain! 33 of the 44 patients in PRT arm experienced significant meaningful improvement in their pain! that's huge! 5:43 Most patients with chronic back pain DO NOT have structural cause! (they may have “findings” on MRI but clinically they don't account for the pain) 9:43 neuroplastic pain is real 10:00 neurocircuitry principles: brain processes ALL pain, with emotional injry/pain, brain can turn on the pain! 12:19 Diving into HOW DO WE KNOW WHETHER your pain is neuroplastic? 15:15: we usually assume that pain means there is something wrong with our bodies 16:48 It all comes down to HOPE 18:35 Why it is important to have Marvel and be curious about your pain and brain 20:05 Where to start with pain reprocessing – start with LOVE, COMPASSION and LISTENING 22:56 the pain usually does not come out of nowhere 23:45 Pain is reinforced and driven over time -> the more fear and frustration we have, the more pressure we put on ourselves, the more pain we often have 26:25 How to overcome the lack of belief (in the diagnosis of neuroplastic pain) 28:16 Ongoing stigma against role of psychology in pain but patients understand and get it – how the pain can be caused by our nervous systems/brain 31:31 Approach to pain reduction in fibromyalgia: education, emotional processing, what changes needs to happen in patients' lives; gradual exposure to activities that cause pain 35:50 PRT is not “coping” with pain but getting rid of the pain! 36:11 speed of recovery depends on how fast we can learn, not on how long we had the disease! 38:19 Predictive processing by the brain 43:14 more about Emotions processing: NOT everybody needs to deal with emotions before they get better (boulder pain study emotional processing was not included). But given the state of current world, and high stress in everyone's lives, it is important to at least address them because releasing the anger and resentment can be therapeutic You can find Dr. Schubiner at: https://www.unlearnyourpain.com

Hello my lovely listeners! Welcome to Episode 15 of the Winning at Fibromyalgia podcast!Today I continue to ponder question: Who are you without your pain? part 2 DO you listen to your intuition? In one of the earlier episodes (episode 5) I outlined my approach to my patients and clients with chronic pain and summarized it in 5 steps: Be open to learning the concept of neuroplastic Believe you can and deserve to feel better. Practice sending messages of safety to your brain. Feel and process all of the emotions. Listen to your intuition and let it guide you. Today I want to talk to you about the intuition part. The pain reprocessing therapy focuses on sending safety messages to the brain as means of improving pain. And it does work. When I took the Pain reprocessing course of Dr. Alan Gordon (the author of the book WAY OUT) we learned to teach our patients to send safety messages to the brain. And it does seem to work for many patients with chronic pain. But in my own practice and working with patients with fibromyalgia, it seems to me that identifying and understanding what led to the increased danger signal in the brain that triggered the pain circuitry in the first place is necessary to fully get out of it. That's also emphasized in the Pain reprocessing course I took led by Dr. Schubiner, called “Freedom from Chronic pain” and the Whole Health Medicine Institute training I have been a part of for the past 6 months and bringing it to my clients live. The WHMI method takes the approach of determining what is the root cause of whatever ailment that bothers the person the most. If any symptom is a message from the brain/our nervous system, what is the reason behind it? Dr. Lissa Rankin is the founding “mother” of the WHMI and has been teaching health care providers on how to guide their patients/clients toward better health by over a decade. She is the author of the book Mind over Medicine, Fear cure and has a new book called Sacred Medicine out in April! We will talk about her book then because she agreed to be on my show around that time! So that's super exciting!  Dr. Rankin has been perfecting her method now for over a decade. The main premise of her method is that the body is wired for healing. When there is a disruption between our inner core, inner knowing or our integrity and what we do, chronic stress is a result of this imbalance. Then a symptom, or a group of symptoms resulting in a chronic illness or pain can develop. Chronic headaches, low back pain, IBS, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer. She helps guide patients and providers to their healthy self through series of 6 steps. The 6 steps of WHMI include: Believing you can heal; 2. Surrendering your attachment to outcome to a higher power or the inner knowing within yourself. 3. Building your healing circle. 4. Identifying the root cause; 5. Writing your own prescription and 6. Identifying any resistance to steps you need to take to heal. Almost every one of these steps deals with trusting your intuition. And that's what I would love to to talk to you about today. Merriam Webster definition of Intuition: 1 : the ability to know something without having proof. It is that little voice that lets us know what we should be doing, or not doing. It lets us know when we don't live in alignment with our true self, our core values. Intuition is that thing you feel when you are doing something that does not feel right or event think you should not be doing it but you do it anyway. Think extra projects at work, think spending time with family members that make you feel like crap, think piling on an extra project for your friend that you then have resentment about but do it anyway. Why am I saying all these things? Once you start accepting of the neuroplastic pain concept, and pain being a message from the brain/nervous system, you inevitably start thinking about why. Why you are in pain, why did your brain feel overwhelmed. As we dig deeper into why, we inevitably uncover the things that may have piled up and caused an overwhelm (and as a result danger signal) in your brain. You uncover things. Things you are doing or are NOT doing that may lead to improvement. Sometimes it may seem easy. Like a patient told me once when I explained the concept of brain pain in fibromyalgia – “of course I know why I am hurting. I don't eat right, I don't exercise and I am sad my sister is dying from cancer”. So if you just did all the things you would feel better right? If you ate better, and exercised better and accepted your sister's fate, you would feel better. Except it does not work this way. The real reason behind the pain lies in what led her to not exercising, and not eating right. Being sad about your loved one dying is a normal response to a sad situation and in and of itself does not usually cause pain. Utilizing the WHMI 6 step process I guide my clients to start the process of identifying what was the initial possible inciting event that led them to develop certain beliefs about themselves, that in turn may have led to various ailments or results of their actions. Please know the invitation to dig deep is meant out of deep love and respect for you as my listeners, patients and clients. It is not meant to make you feel bad. It is truly an invitation to explore your inner knowing guide, your psyche, to find out what might have led to the results you are having today and where you need to go from here. It is very often that we already know what we need to do. And we don't do it. I know that if I want my joints to feel better in terms of my rheumatoid arthritis, I need to cut down on sugar and processed foods. And I am doing a world better since Christmas time. I am working with my faulty belief that full healing is not available for me. Because, it is. One of my dreams is to found a brick and mortar Fibromyalgia healing center where I see patients in person, and where I will have a team of providers that help with various aspects of health including yoga teachers, massage therapists, physical therapists, psychotherapists. And I know that in order to get there I need to get more organized and keep taking action. And the reason this is SO hard is because it is better to stay invisible. More convenient. But that's not an option for me anymore. The pain of regret is 100 times more heavier that pain of change and growth. So I keep forging forward. I would like to know what is your intuition telling you? Are you heeding her call? If not why not? Can't wait to hear from you. Your loving expert fibromyalgia coach.

This extraordinary conversation between mind-body physician and author Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD, and NARM creator Dr. Laurence Heller, PhD. centers around healing through the integration of western and non-western healing modalities. Dr. Rankin believes that to optimize healing it takes an integrated approach between the sciences, traumatology, spirituality, and collective healing.  Dr. Heller acknowledges the powerful overlap between these approaches, and more specifically shares how science is now validating the various forms of complex trauma that NARM addresses, for example, working with pre and perinatal trauma. Dr. Rankin reflects on her own experiences with developmental trauma. She distinguishes the type of trauma she experienced compared to the trauma that was assessed in the ACES study. She further explains that despite having an ACE score of 0, she still believes she experienced developmental trauma. She compares her trauma to what NARM calls the Attunement Survival Style. Dr. Heller acknowledges the distinction she is drawing and the limitations that the ACE study has when it comes to children experiencing misattunement. They reflect together on how there is a spectrum of experiences that can create developmental trauma and the importance of expanding the definition of complex trauma. Dr. Rankin and Dr. Heller reflect on the various ways they're both working to make trauma healing more accessible. They discuss the importance of shifting the paradigm from chronic stress to relational health, and that if we can educate frontline workers about how to assess trauma and how to support relational health, we can increase the amount of support people are receiving and start to address trauma collectively. Bio: Lissa Rankin, MD, is a mind-body medicine physician, author of 7 books, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, and mystic who researches radical remission, trauma-informed medicine, and spiritual healing. Her TEDx talks have been viewed over 5 million times, and she starred in two National Public Television specials- Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine and The Fear Cure. Lissa's interest in the link between loneliness and disease led her to spearhead her latest project, Heal At Last, a non-profit organization which aims to bring effective trauma healing and spiritual healing methods to anyone ready for the deep dive of healing.   Website: www.lissarankin.com   To read the full show notes and discover more resources visit http://www.narmtraining.com/podcast *** NARM Training Institute http://www.NARMtraining.com View upcoming trainings: https://narmtraining.com/schedule Join the Inner Circle: https://narmtraining.com/online-learning/inner-circle *** The NARM Training Institute provides tools for transforming complex trauma through: in-person and online trainings for mental health care professionals; in-person and online workshops on complex trauma and how it interplays with areas like addiction, parenting, and cultural trauma; an online self-paced learning program, the NARM Inner Circle; and other trauma-informed learning resources.   We want to connect with you!

Lissa Rankin, M.D., is the New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine, The Fear Cure, and The Anatomy of a Calling. She’s a physician, a mystic, and the founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute. Growing up as the daughter of a physician put Rankin on the traditional Western medicine track and she trained as a physician at Duke University, the University of South Florida, and Northwestern University. After practicing as an OBGYN for eight years in San Diego, she reached an all-time low. She was pregnant with her daughter, sick on seven medications, and overwhelmed by the guilt of not living up to her patient's needs. It wasn’t until she found herself sitting on the floor ready to end her life that she discovered what she calls her inner pilot light. Lissa joined me on the mbgpodcast to discuss this challenging time in her life and how her inner pilot light saved her. At the time, this voice told her to quit her job and she did not know what was next. For two years she felt directionless, but she, ultimately, started her own practice in Marin County, California. She found more and more patients coming to her with mysterious illnesses, but instead trying to solve their conditions simply with prescriptions, Lissa asked questions like “What does your body need to heal?” When her patients started to see positive results, she began researching spontaneous remissions and unpacking the profound impact of self-healing. While physician and mystic may not sound like they go together, Lissa believes the physician is the healer and believes there is immense healing available in the spiritual world if one is willing to access it. Lissa tells real stories of people who healed when they were told they didn’t have a chance. Her blend of expertise in the traditional medical world with experience in the spiritual realm provides a fresh perspective to healing that empowers the patient. Her words will leave you inspired to take your health into your own hands and help you find out how to trust your inner voice.

Lissa Rankin, MD is a mind-body medicine physician, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute training program for physicians and other health care providers, and the New York Times bestselling author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself. She is on a grass roots mission to put the care back in health care, and to heal our broken health care system one doctor and one patient at a time.   Discouraged by our broken health care system and curious why some patients do everything right but still wind up sick, Lissa set out to discover why some patients experience miraculous cures from seemingly incurable illnesses, while others remain sick even when they receive the best medical care. She researched what really makes people healthy and what predisposes them to illness not just diet, exercise and standard healthy behaviors, but everything else. What she uncovered in the mainstream medical literature led her to develop a type of medical practice she terms Whole Health Medicine, based on the scientifically-proven healthy behaviors she shares in Mind Over Medicine. She is now leading a health care revolution to empower patients to heal themselves, while encouraging the health care industry to embrace and facilitate, rather than resist, such medical miracles. What does my body need to heal? ~ Dr. Lissa Rankin, on How She Really Does it LISTEN HERE More specifically, in this interview you will find out about: the holes of health care health is more than numbers – (happiness, connection, relationships,etc) the power of our mind how to use alternative medicine and traditional medicine together tools for better health – stress reduction Two takeaways – for listeners Your natural self-repair only operates when your body is in a relaxation response. ~ Dr. Lissa Rankin, on How She Really Does it Resources Mentioned in this Podcast Mind Over Medicine Book & Resources Lissa Rankin’s website Whole Health Medicine Institute smiling, The post Lissa Rankin: The Power of Your Mind appeared first on howshereallydoesit.com.

We've been led to believe that when we get sick, it's our genetics. Or it's just bad luck - and doctors alonehold the keys to optimal health. For years, Lissa Rankin, M.D., believed the same. But when her own health started to suffer, and she turned to Western medical treatments, she found that they not only failed to help; they made her worse. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. Through her research, Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body's innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of the mind. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. Using extraordinary cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body's physiology. Joining Julie Ann on ConsciousSHIFT, Lissa Rankin will share her new book, Mind Over Medicine, and will share with us how this process works, plus practical techniques you can use to activate the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms, while shutting off the processes that predispose to illness. We'll explore where you might be making unhealthy choices, not just in your diet, exercise program, and sleep habits, but in your relationships, your professional life, your creative life, your spiritual life, and more- so that you can create a customized treatment plan “The Prescription” aimed at bolstering all of these health-promoting aspects of your life.
