Medicine to Move You

Today instead of reporting as a doctor of Integrative Medicine, I come today in the form of a mother.  As mentioned in a recent post, I was in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico just last week for an Integrative Medicine conference.  There and in many times past , I have had the great fortune to be…

As you may have read in an earlier post, I recently attended SIMPLE, a conference for Integrative Medical Professionals held by the University of New Mexico.  There, I amassed a smorgasbord of integrative health education which I will be spurting out as I fast as I can find the time to put it into words. …

Apologies to all of you!  I have been delinquent in keeping up with my blog duties, but alas, there is much to come after this drought of information.  OK, I know it’s only been one week but I hope that some of you are enjoying the benefits of some of the hidden truths of Integrative…

Not a day goes by in our Integrative Medicine office that we don’t see a “unexpected”  manifestation of allergies.  Most patients think that allergies are something that many people get because things like pollen, dust and other environmental allergens are unavoidable. What they don’t always know is that having an allergy problem is having an…

It’s been a long week at the office with plenty of excitement.  It’s rewarding on most days and occasionally emotionally draining on others.  But today, I wanted to share a pull-at-your-heartstrings type of visit that I had.  Sometimes, I’d like to just let you in on what it’s like being a doctor practicing Integrative Medicine.…
