Description

“When it comes to integrative medicine, it’s not a quick fix approach. It’s about really having high buy-in and knowing that this is a lifetime shift in our thinking, in our lifestyle habits, in all of those pieces and so we really do need support longterm to be able to be successful,” explains Dr. Michelle Peris, ND. 

Dr. Peris is the clinical director of the Poppy Clinic and creator of The Wild Collective, a community health initiative focused on health education and women’s empowerment.

In this episode, we discuss the power of community and group-based healthcare to create lasting health transformation. 

Without community, many patients struggle with consistently sticking with integrative health programs. Long-term support from like-minded individuals is vital to increasing buy-in and commitment. The Wild Collective provides women a safe place to be educated on their healthcare needs and cheerlead one another along the journey. 

When we hear others tell stories similar to our own, it helps normalize our own experiences. That can help open people up to sharing more about their own stories, and as this happens, the community grows stronger as a whole.
