summer australia-day people
It's definitely different in the States. Americans are much different people compared to us. We're much more laid back. I itch to get back to Australia every summer because it's so fast paced there and so stressful.
tired order practice
I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.
simple years america
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
meditation focus attention
Learning to focus attention and concentration is very useful; meditation can help you do that.
technology thinking two
I think integrative medicine, something I've pioneered, is the way of the future. Its great promise is that it can reduce healthcare costs by shifting the whole focus of healthcare away from disease management to health promotion and prevention. They can do that two ways: first, by focusing attention on lifestyle medicine, which is very deficient. And second, by bringing into the mainstream treatments that are lower cost because they are not dependent on expensive technology.

More than one skillful physician has said that if one asks the right questions, the patient will make the diagnosis for you in his or her own words.
resilience balance demand
Health is wholeness and balance, an inner resilience that allows you to meet the demands of living without being overwhelmed.
two talking years
Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson, I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200,000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people, and doing physical things.
feet earth connections
Our feet are our body's connection to the earth.
yoga heart doctors
Millions of Americans today are taking dietary supplements, practicing yoga and integrating other natural therapies into their lives. These are all preventive measures that will keep them out of the doctor's office and drive down the costs of treating serious problems like heart disease and diabetes.
