Benefits of a Holistic Approach

 Seeking a holistic physician can be a complex and confusing world to those who have not experienced it in the past but, nonetheless, the results that one can get from participating in these practices are biologically revolutionary and psychologically encouraging when these tools are utilized correctly and to their maximum capacity. These are the benefits of having a wellness coach. And when it comes to health and wellness in Maryland, Dr. Lisa Leads the field.

The wide variety of approaches to health is why she is unparalleled within this space. Mental, physical and also varying degrees of pharmaceutical avenues gives patients many options in their journey to improving their health. A sound body makes for a sound mind and when the mind is sound it feeds the body, on a neurological level, with good energy. One of the best ways to exercise this mind-body relationship is meditation. For many individuals meditation is a foreign practice. But meditation should be seriously considered for those that are in search of a better and healthier state of mind. Many holistic physicians in the DMV don't offer the development of this skill but Dr. Lisa provides an intermediate introduction to the practice so that you can experience the beginnings of it without feeling overwhelmed by the process. This is also true for the physical meditative practices that Dr. Lisa offers, such as yoga. 

Moving focus from the mental, so that we can focus solely on the physical, is just as significant as focusing on the mental well being of any patient. Without an adequate "house" for the mind to live in, the mind slowly wains and decreases in its capacity to function. It is here where Dr. Lisa introduces a weight-loss management program.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago.  It is based on theory, that like cures, homeopathic medicines come from plants and minerals which are diluted to undetectable amounts. These medicines are FDA regulated and used for colds, flu and pain from injures. The treatments are individualized and tailored to each person.

What is Integrative Medicine?

The overall focus is to heal the whole person, including lifestyle factors. Patient and medical provider are partners in the healing process. Integrative medicine incorporates conventional medicine and alternative practices always keeping in mind that health promotion and prevention of illness is the most important for each person.
