A TIME FOR REFLECTION Remembering My Father and My Son
To me, Father’s Day is a time for reflection, not just for fathers but also for sons and all men who positively affect the people around them. Two years ago, my dad died unexpectedly, and on holidays like Father’s Day, I can’t help thinking back to the memories we shared together. I grew up watching and mimicking my father — the way he worked, how he approached each problem in life, and his art of perseverance. My dad spent most of his life working hard and being active. In fact, most of my memories of my father are of him being athletic or working hard at something. He kept himself very busy, so I always tried to spend as much time with him as possible. My father found it relatively easy to maintain a fit appearance. His favorite activity was rollerblading through the neighborhood to show off his abilities. Dad was Canadian, and skating was a birthright. Whenever he had the chance, he would also compete in running races such as the Boston Marathon and other well-known events. I would
tag along with him and wait at the finish line. Our drives home were quiet, yet gratifying. The sense of accomplishment was the trophy at the end of the day. When I wasn’t watching him race or show off his rollerblading skills, I was helping him work. He was an electrician who was dedicating to “serving others” whether it was after hours or the weekend and holidays. I was proud of my father, and I loved to tag along. I loved watching the relationship he developed with his clients. I took responsibility for the vital service he was providing them. Some of his clients relied on the reliable delivery of electricity to run machines and devices that are needed to sustain their quality of life and independence. We rarely spoke a word while we worked, but it was always a comfortable silence. As I went out into the world on my own, I made the time to consistently speak to my dad on the phone every day. I filled him in on the many opportunities I pursued in my life. My father was always worried for me, as parents tend to do. He knew too well the cost of ambition and curiosity, and he wondered the real value of hard work when it interfered with quality family time as it often does. The dream he didn’t dare to dream for himself was playing out in my own life. It made him excited and uneasy at the same time. But whenever I needed him the most, he was always there for me. My father and my son spent much time together. My boy was the apple of his eye. When my dad looked into Liam’s eyes and rounded Liam’s shoulder with the palm of his hand, he was holding his own shoulder and seeing himself —
“My father is a man I will always remember, and my son
is a man I will never forget.”

CAN’T SLEEP?
THERE’S AN
On Sunday, June 20, the sun will stay up in Alaska until almost midnight, longer than any other day of the year. That’s because June 20 is the summer solstice, the day when one of the Earth’s poles is tilted so drastically toward the sun that light hits our whole hemisphere for a few extra hours. It’s a beautiful phenomenon, but it can also be disruptive — particularly if you’re trying to sleep. Life has already thrown a lot of stressors at us over the last six months, so if the extra daylight is the icing on the cake of your insomnia, it might be time to turn to your smartphone for some high-tech help. These two innovative apps can help you get your eight hours in spite of Mother Nature’s curveballs.

YOU WON’T MEET A MORE DEDICATED TEAM MEMBER
JENNIFER WRIGHT: OUR CLINICAL DIRECTOR
J ennifer Wright, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, has the gifts of confidence, curiosity, and a desire to be of service. She understands the difference between managing a patient’s disease and effectively supporting their wellness. In everything she does, Jennifer reflects Doctors Studio’s core values of service and impact. “I’ve been in the traditional medical world for quite some time,” Jennifer says, referring to the time she spent working in emergency rooms and acute care facilities. However, what truly captures her interest is functional health and wellness using methods of exploration to find the root cause of the problem in order to fix it and restore health. Jennifer explains, “The vast knowledge, testing capabilities, and amount of information that this method contains — and that Dr. Roy offers her clients daily — usually takes lifetimes to incorporate into one practice in the way Dr. Roy has done in a fraction of the time. I’ve worked in a lot of places, and the knowledge and in-depth look at each and every client at Doctors Studio is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.” From her experience, Jennifer states that very few practices get to the level that the team at Doctors Studio strives for. “Dr. Roy and our team gets right to the cellular level,” she says. “We keep our patients as well as they can be, and for me, that’s really rewarding.” But that’s not the only goal. Jennifer continues, “Our
patients and our team are a huge part of what we do. We take care of ourselves with next-level approaches to wellness, and it’s absolutely incredible.” As the clinical director here at Doctors Studio, Jennifer instinctively stays calm in the face of challenge. She is always eager to listen to our patients and work with them to find the best methods for them to achieve optimum health. Jennifer works incredibly well in a collaborative
environment and brings her leadership and teamwork skills to the Studio every day, committing herself to the well-being of all our members. Jennifer is a reliable, trustworthy, and fun team member! All of us at Doctors Studio are proud to have such a dedicated and skilled individual on our team.

CERTAINTY, SAFETY, AND RETURN TO A FULL LIFE! The pandemic has been interesting, refreshing, devastating, inconvenient, earth-shattering, and perplexing. It’s hard not to talk about it, even as we move toward recovery. COVID-19 overran our lives and left us vulnerable to untruths and a lack of transparency. That uncertainty is what controlled us. However, it doesn’t mean that we have to continue living like that. Many of our patients have already taken up that call. “I’m happy to report that zero patients in my care have tested positive for COVID-19,” says Dr. Lisbeth Roy. “I celebrate you! Those of you who invest in your wellness and practice proactive health are my personal heroes!” Each of us possesses the ability to take action in favor of health and wellness. We owe it to each other to take better care of ourselves. And our patients have. The body works in a very predictable way. Disease and the path to disease are not mysteries. In the same light, health and wellness are not mysteries either. Mainstream media, mainstream medicine, big pharma, the insurance industry, and other agencies of corruption lead us to believe that we are victims of circumstance, powerless over disease. We are led to believe that family diseases that we inherit are what are likely to get us. This is false . The truth is that we are willing participants who are responsible for our state of wellness. There are very specific lifestyle practices that, if followed, will play a big role in securing your wellness. At the time of this writing, there are no vaccines or uniformly successful treatments for COVID-19. However, emerging research on several specific botanical and nutraceutical agents is promising, as such agents can improve the body’s ability to fight off and recover from the illness. True, attainable wellness is when your body is balanced, resilient, and able to respond to environmental challenges successfully. Balance means that all systems are working properly and collaboratively. Hormonal balance, hydration, digestion, and metabolism all play an important role. By strengthening your own defenses in your body, you increase your chances of avoiding infection. Secure your wellness by having an appropriate evaluation to determine what your body requires for direct support and intervention. That’s where our team at Doctors Studio can help. Call our office at 561.444.7751 to set up an appointment today.

feeling his own pain through my son’s. Now the two of them are together once more.
All men are fathers, just as all men are sons. That’s why it’s important to remember them as all the names they bear and roles they play on Father’s Day. We need to envelop them with soft, strong arms and open, warm hearts. Especially since losing the men in my life, I feel each Father’s Day deserves pause and reflection. My father is a man I will always remember, and my son is a man I will never forget. –Dr. Lisbeth Roy

2 Ways to Revive Your Life This Summer
I f the mercurial spring weather has to your life that help you feel healthier and younger. Here are two ways to awaken your body and mind. ADOPT A NEW ACTIVITY. As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. prevented you from getting out as much as you would have liked these past few months, you might be feeling a bit of cabin fever about now. Luckily, you can still introduce positive changes With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain
active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way!
PAY ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH. Although more years provide more experience and knowledge, sometimes they also come with heavy baggage. The loss of a loved one, trauma, and other struggles can impact your life in later years. This is why it’s good to practice mindfulness. Take some time to focus on the present. Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally. Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
