Balancing Body, Mind, Spirit (etc.): Old Year's Reflections Make Way for New Year's Resolutions
The recent snowstorm was wonderful, in my mind. It fell gently yet substantially between winter solstice and Christmas, and provided something for the body, mind, and spirit. Balancing body, mind, and spirit (and etc.) is the key to the wellness/illness teeter totter. I prefer to have days in the time from solstice to the new year comes to reflect on where I am at, what the last seasons brought since the beginning of the year, and before. read more »

Finding a Doctor that Fits: Working Together's the Key to Good Medical Care
I could write a book on this topic alone!
The key to good medical care is finding doctors who are capable of integrating multiple types of medical care into their practice. I said this in the plural form because no one doctor can meet a patient's full needs. But patients should interview doctors like you would interview any employee you would hire for your needs. Only hire the one that you think will make a good fit. read more »

YOU - Do it Yourself Recipe
Lumigrate's 'cornerstone' is the You Model, which essentially is a form of collaborative care model. It was inspired by a model drawn out when I met in early 2005 with a rheumatologist when marketing to his office about my general occupational therapy services offered through an outpatient clinic. I later met with the psychologist in the building my office was in, and we came up with the You Model and went on to co-found and lead an education group for people with fibromyalgia, where it 'worked'. read more »

"Why Did This Happen to Me?" We Ask. My Answers: Raise the Bar!
I wanted to write today about one way a person with chronic illness/pain/fatigue might answer the question "Why is this happening to me?". I have written another piece in this forum related to chronic illness and the support system around you understanding why it is a person with chronic illness/pain/fatigue might not find the ambition to do things they don't particularly enjoy or 'want to do', but they DO get out there for things they want to do. That's something families and friends tend to not understand and be critical of. read more »

Thursday, September 8, 2011, 7:13 am, by Mardy Ross
"Thank you for inviting me to Grand Junction. There is more promising and inspiring care related to integrated care here than anywhere in the nation." This was the first of MANY "note-worthy" things Dr Frank de Gruy of Denver's CU Med Center (University of Colorado) said last night. I will share the entire presentation with you in the near future here at Lumigrate because it is my 'responsibility' on many levels, including spiritually, to 'get the word out to to all who are represented in the model. read more »

Chinese Medicine - Integrating Other Provider Professionals for WHOLEistic Treatment
Chinese medicine in and of itself is the essence of holistic care as it addresses the mind, body, and spirit. When a person presents to my clinic with a chief complaint, all three of the above mentioned aspects are addressed as they are not only inter-related, but also inter-dependent. The wonderful thing about collaborating with other modalities is that we can carry that concept forward as we use multiple treatment strategies to address the mind, body, and spirit. read more »
