A WHOLE PERSON APPROACH TO HEALING

To be integrated in relation to health means we leave nothing out. Not your emotional health, your environment, or your lifestyle and habits (like nutrition, exercise).

In the following video, Dr. Seide talks about our physiologic response to stress, and ways we can modulate this with breath and awareness.

Just as mindfulness practices affect our physiology, so too what our bodies do affects our minds.

Western medicine has always been good at fixing problems, but it is less adept at supporting our bodies' innate ability to heal.

Integrative Medicine physicians view the whole person, offering a multi-dimensional approach to healing that has the potential to profoundly relieve suffering on all levels.

The Importance of Dirt

By Ann Seide MD | May 30, 2021 |

I think the health of all things-from microbes to plants to animals to humans-depends on our soil. The importance of dirt, cannot be understated.
