– for those who couldn't join us in person, we recorded Dr. Mitchell's keynote "Yoga Is Primary Care" from this past weekend's Denver Yoga Summit❤️
We truly enjoy educating, and we believe in the potential that each of you has to go out and influence "your people"! The more we talk about preventative medicine through accessible practices (like yoga!) .. the better our collective communities can thrive. So, keep the conversation going and don't hesitate to reach out with questions or ideas or frustrations (send those directly to Mitchell, though). All jokes aside, thank you for learning with us.
The goal isn’t to eliminate stress, but to get better at returning to a state of ____.
The ____ nerve is a major communication pathway between the brain and the gut and plays an important role in the parasympathetic nervous system.
MORE ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
OUR CONVENTIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS FAILING US
We go to our doctor expecting guidance to FEEL WELL. Unfortunately, the insurance model limits doctors’ resources. They do not have the time to address diet and lifestyle changes; do not have the motivation to educate patients; and are pressured to use pharmaceutical interventions as a first-line treatment.
We cannot get away from the insurance model completely. In acute care, it saves lives. It has become a necessary evil. The Functional Medicine approach can fill in the gaps that the conventional system leaves. Outside of insurance, we can give individual attention to patients to teach them about their physiology and empower them in managing their health outcomes.
We believe in personalized medicine. A place where you can go to DIG DEEPER into your 'problems' and come out as an expert on your own health. It's a new level of empowered: one where you can feel HEARD; feel EDUCATED; and live BETTER.
