The 30-Minute VisitYour Life Matters To MeI judge people on a daily basis. I make judgements based on the way they look, the words they say, and how they say them. It's a necessary part of treatment and I do it with an underlying sense of duty to help patients get better as quickly as possible. How do I judge people outside the clinic room though? How do we all judge each other? We need to talk about our prejudices. We need to ask more questions and listen more because that's how we connect with and care about our fellow human beings. 2020-06-0700 min

The 30-Minute VisitDo You Want To Get Better?One of the most important factors to getting healthier is that you need to want to get better.

The 30-Minute VisitTime To Prune YourselfThe human body is a workhorse and can put up with a lot. It's easy to take it for granted.

The default state of your system is designed to ensure that you survive - these are pre-programmed. But constantly operating in survival mode is not optimal for your health. Very often, the first step to regaining your health is to step back and realize that you are living life in a perpetual state of fight-or-flight. question is "Why am I always in survival mode"?2020-05-1000 min

The 30-Minute VisitObstaclesThere's not too many things in life worth having that come easily. Whether it is a successful business that you want to build or trying to achieve health, you have to work for it.
