Discussion
Today we are going to talk about the importance of having a holistic approach to chronic illness. Research shows that chronic illness and disease is better controlled when a patient takes care of the whole body, mind and spirit. No longer are doctors writing a prescription and sending people home to “deal with it” – instead we are teaching patients to fight back from every angle.
Discussion on journaling, exercise, taking up cooking classes to inspire better eating, etc.
Challenge to every listener to take charge of their health by getting outside of their comfort zone and routines and taking on new things.

Love this one! Love Love Love it.
