Life as Medicine

Over the past years I have been striving to give patients tools for health and life. Skills that they can use for the rest of their lives and also transfer to those around them. Using "Life as Medicine" is something that we all have access to, but sometimes need a little encouragement to utilize. Please use and share the information on this site to navigate your own challenges and be of help to others.
