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.

Client Interview: What It’s Like to Create Your Health Strategy with Dr. Barbara de la Torre at Third Opinion MD
A 15-minute appointment with the doctor rarely allows you to discover the root behind the decisions you make with your health unless you are prepared. This is why I approach clients with a thorough curiosity about who they are, who they were, and who they wish to be in order to live a healthy and purposeful life. Strategy goes beyond the symptoms and diseases. It relieves the fear and stress that come with your health going out of balance. In this episode, I have the opportunity to sit with one of my clients to really talk through how we work on a Health Strategy Consult.

When a word like trauma is used frequently in society and in the media, we think we know what it means. But, when we apply more than one medical model to understand trauma, it’s an opportunity to go “back to the drawing board” to understand and treat trauma more compassionately and effectively. As we emerge from the pandemic’s toll of loss and isolation, a growing mental health crisis surrounds us. The status quo for treating mental illness is no longer sustainable. This crisis is the best time for reflection and integrative approaches to healing.

What does this have to do with your access to good healthcare and your ability to care for yourself? Everything.
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.
