Join me for a lively discussion with integrative physician, cardiologist and medical intuitive Dr. Patrick Fratellone, whose guiding philosophy is an individualized approach to total health and well-being that results from nurturing the intrinsic healing of the whole person.
He shares his journey from conventional medicine to becoming Chief of Medicine at the Atkins Center for Complementary medicine with the late Dr. Robert C. Atkins (of Atkins Diet fame), to completing his Fellowship under the direction of Dr. Andrew Weil, and evolving his practice to what it is today - combining allopathic medicine with multiple healing modalities such as herbalism, homeopathy, apitherapy and more.
Dr. Fratellone lays out his 7 principles for health that include mind, body and spirit - emphasizing the importance of listening to patients, food as medicine, meditation, and addressing emotional health and energy-thieving addictions.
