Holistic education from a doctor you can trust!
This is an archived collection of weekly OPEN OFFICE HOURS sessions for my private members of Inspired Wellness, PLLC in Oak Harbor, WA. Shared open office hours allows the simple act of being in community with other people. This can drastically improve your likelihood of living a long, healthy, and happy life.
Maintaining healthy social networks can actually help you live up to 50% longer!
There’s all kinds of amazing health benefits that come with going through life with other people:
In a survey conducted with over 2,000 U.S. adults, 72% said that they felt lonely and 31% felt isolated at least once a week⦁ Extreme loneliness can increase a person’s chance of premature death by 14% and has double the impact of obesity on early death⦁ Loneliness is associated with chronic pain and depression
⦁ Loneliness is linked to Alzheimer’s disease
⦁ Social isolation is linked to reduced survival rates for cancer patients
These recordings are webinar style weekly Open Office Hours where I teach on a variety of topics (listed in the curriculum). No patients are identified or mentioned in these recordings, although we discuss lab interpretation (in general terms) and review cases.
