S3 Ep 3 – A Student’s First Steps and a Master’s Reflection: The Qigong Experience Then and Now
In Episode 3, my client, Ramey, shares how she feels after learning a qigong form in class for the first time. And there's a very special surprise in the second half of the episode where we go over how Ramey responds to practicing qigong for the last two months. I also reflect on my health journey with qigong because, in community, we can achieve much more than we can alone.
S3 Ep 2 – Your First Qigong Lesson: Discover the Branch of Chinese Medicine that Puts You in Charge Again
When is it the best time to work on your health? When you have more time? After you get sick? Welcome to modern life!
But real preventive medicine always starts and ends with YOU. And the best time to address your health is NOW. Listen to this episode on how the practice of qigong puts you back in charge of your health.
S3 Ep 1 – Open Your Eyes to the Possibilities for Health: Ramey Discovers the Theories of Chinese Medicine at Third Opinion MD
The power of healing is in the “Why.” In a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes, you’ll get to join Ramey on a unique health journey.
Ramey is a healthcare worker for eye issues. But she's also someone who's had eye problems for most of her life. She has that special insight from both sides of the healthcare fence. In this episode, she’s taking my class on self-care and prevention for the eyes.
Now Ramey wants to become a client and dig deeper. Through my Health Strategy Consult program, she learns to better manage her health by moving beyond the diagnosis and into why and how she developed her conditions.
Season 3 Trailer – [Client Discussion] An Inside Look at the Health Strategy Journey from Start to Finish at Third Opinion MD
In Season three, all episodes will follow one guest's journey to understand and achieve her best health potential. Each episode is recorded over the course of her 6-week consult to demonstrate how you can address your health in a more creative and individualized way. This approach just doesn't exist in the current healthcare system, which is largely about gathering the information they want and not what you truly need.
It’s Time to Form Your Own Third Opinion: A Look Back at the Episodes from Seasons 1 and 2
Self-care and lifestyle medicine are undervalued in the current healthcare systems. But I believe that you can redesign these systems that are not working for you by forming your own third opinion. When you learn how to think critically about the systems of healthcare and how to navigate through them, you now have the power to take care of yourself and be in charge of your healthcare journey. In this episode, I review the first two seasons, which helps you start the process to develop your health strategy.
ABOUT YOUR HOST
Barbara de la Torre, MD
As a second-generation integrative physician with knowledge of a more holistic model of care, I’ve come to love both types of medicine because each has the strength to overcome the other’s weaknesses.
However, I believe we can evolve to a much higher level of care by integrating a broader perspective of health.
