Spring 2021 brings hope on the horizon!

There’s plenty that can be done to strengthen your body, whether you’ve already received the vaccine or are patiently waiting your turn.  As Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal, I am asking all of my patients this question: How will you end this pandemic healthier than you started it?

In my latest blog Summary Ruminations on Covid-19 Empowerment, I review what you can do in this home stretch of the pandemic.

Are you OVERDUE for your Annual Preventive Exam, labs or cancer screening? 

The pandemic has put the world on hold, but unfortunately it has not put chronic disease and cancers on hold.  Time to check these off of your list! Schedule today.

Covid-19 positive test?  CONTACT ME ASAP. 

As noted in my blog there are a few safe prescription treatment options that can be considered, in addition to supplements.  The key is to start them early.  With Covid-19, it’s “easier to blow out a match than a forest fire” -- these treatments (as with supplements) should be started as early as possible.

Got vaccine?

Sutter receives a limited supply of vaccines. When it’s your turn, feel confident about getting your “Fauci ouchie” anywhere you can (including Sutter, county, and pharmacy locations). Please also check here:  Sutter Health or Covid19.CA.Gov. Wondering what you can do while waiting for the vaccine? A LOT! See  blog.

Know someone with Long Haul Covid?

Long Haul Covid, officially known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is when debilitating symptoms (ie. brain fog, fatigue, etc) linger for weeks to months after a Covid-19 infection. I am offering a Sutter PASC (Long Haul) Covid-19 Recovery Integrative Medicine SMA (Shared Medical Appointment), reviewing lifestyle and medication treatments that have been suggested to be helpful in this complex situation. This SMA is available to all patients, so please pass this along to anyone you know who might be suffering -- they can ask their doctor for a referral, or call (650) 853-2250 for questions.

Love someone on a “statin” cholesterol drug?

Then make sure they are taking CoQ10 supplements too!  This is vitally important. Learn why in my new short video (click the arrow to play):
