He had moved from doctor to patient (the title of ), and then was faced with a new identity after being cancer-free. As a Dr. Andrew Weil integrative...

We discuss how putting wellness at the top of your list of priorities is more important than ever.
Our guest, celebrity wellness professional, physician, and author Dr. Ann Kulze shares with us some inspiring tips to get us all back on the path to wellness, freedom, and fun.
We summarize topics with 5 mantras that will help you to create more energy and vibrancy in your life. Enjoy the show!
Mantra #1: COVID is yet another reminder from the universe that we must prioritize wellness.
Mantra #2: To create positive change, we can work either top-down (advocacy, policy, etc.) or bottom-up (education, community, etc.). Both Dr. Ann and I work more from the bottom-up approach.
