Hello Again!

I have just returned from the first residential week of my fellowship at the University of Arizona Program in Integrative Medicine. Spending the week with more than 70 like-minded physicians and nurse practitioners was rejuvenating, encouraging and thought provoking (to say the least!).

Along with new information and an exciting beginning on our 2-year journey as fellows, we explored our individual and collective passion for optimum health for ourselves, our patients, and our world. We found common ground in discussions of political and environmental influences on health, and fostered our hope for change! My commitment to empowering/educating individuals for self-care along the wellness continuum is stronger than ever!

Peace,

Jan

Live in rooms full of light

Avoid heavy food

Be moderate in the drinking of wine

Take massage, baths, exercise, and gymnastics

Fight insomnia with gentle rocking

or the sound of running water

Change surroundings and take long journeys

Strictly avoid frightening ideas

Indulge in cheerful conversation and amusements

Listen to music.
