GET TESTED NOW FOR COVID-19!
A RET
B efore COVID-19, the world was going about its business with the “normal” ebb and flow. But now that the unthinkable is actually unfolding, we are all just a bit paralyzed … at least many people I encounter each day are unsure about what is the right thing to do next in order to protect our culture and social way of life. We all agree that testing is a necessary tool in making decisions about the future. The simple fact is that the Food and Drug Administration approved rapid antibody testing for COVID-19, and those tests are available in many locations. You can do the test in the comfort of your own home or a participating provider can draw your blood at their office.

The test can be done at any time of day and does not require fasting.

If you create an environment of wellness, disease can no more exist than darkness can in a room with a light on. Therefore, assessing and bolstering wellness is the foundation of my practice. I teach my patients, regardless of their socioeconomic status or background, to cultivate a daily practice of wellness. When patients come in to see me, I begin by assessing their wellness, and then I build a targeted treatment plan that is designed to very quickly improve their baseline.
know can improve our lives: Eat whole, fresh foods. Get regular sleep every night and practice prayer or meditation. Get some sunshine, practice gratitude, and stay in touch with your community as much as possible. Wellness is the culmination of many small efforts; it is not a switch that we just flip on.
Even if you don’t book an appointment, though, you can cultivate wellness in your life by implementing the simple practices that we all
