To my loving parents,I've chang my lifestyle

Image
In 2021, I was offered an opportunity to write a book about my work, but my gut feeling was that something wasn't quite right with the timing and I turned down the offer. But I wondered afterward whether I had made a mistake by doing so. Would an offer ever come again?  Did I miss my one chance? Then, two years later my friend Jay Stinnett encouraged me to pursue writing a book. He added, “I know the perfect person to support you on this creative process, and he also happens to be one of my favorite people on the planet. His name is Randy Davila, and he is the president of Hierophant Publishing.”  On May 5, 2021, I met Randy, and I immediately knew it was both the right time and right person. I am forever indebted to Randy for his patience and gentle guidance throughout this journey. Thank you for creating a book that captures my voice and simple essence.  To my husband Ralph, to whom this book is dedicated, I love you more with each passing day. You are the b...

Image
 When medical schools place salutogenesis on the same level of importance as pathogenesis, we will see a sustainable global shift in the physician role. Doctors will train in modules on nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene, substance intake, and social connectedness. Doctors will represent the healthiest amongst us, serving as the example to their patients. The environments in which they practice medicine ought to be representative of optimal health as well. Medical clinics can be stocked with whole foods and healthy snacks, and hospital cafeterias can be powerhouses of nutrition TPE gloves , providing food that prevents disease and maintains health.  My hope is that one day we'll marvel at how it could have possibly been any other way, much the same way we are astonished at how at one point in time it was acceptable for doctors to smoke while making rounds in the hospital.  Even if it feels like we have a long way to go in how we view medicin...

Ho'oponopono is that the ancient peoples who advocated it saw it as medicine

Image
 Oftentimes our relationships can become strained for a variety of reasons over long periods of time. Perhaps there are things we have said or done which we aren't proud of, but a formal apology may not be necessary, helpful, or even possible.  In these cases, I invite you to try Ho'oponopono, a practice of reconciliation that comes from the indigenous communities of Hawaii and Polynesia. It has been adapted over time to become a practice of self-forgiveness as well.  The word can be translated as “to make right.” At the heart of Ho'oponopono is the recitation of four simple yet powerful phrases—but rather than saying them to the person you have a conflict with, you close your eyes and speak them to yourself while keeping that person in mind.  The phrases are: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you While I don't know of any scientific study that has measured why or how this works, I do know this is a practice that has been in place for hundr...

Loving-kindness meditation is a popular technique to extend forgiveness
