Are you tired? Do you suffer from chronic pain-headaches, backaches, or pelvic discomfort? Do you experience depression or feel anxious? Do you have allergies, rashes or autoimmune issues? Have you lost your sex drive somewhere along the way? If you have one or more of these symptoms, you may be suffering from a condition that Rachel Carlton Abrams, M.D. calls Chronic Body Depletion. The condition can be related to weight gain, high blood pressure, exhaustion, and many other symptoms that leave the body run down. In BodyWise, Dr. Rachel shows us not only how to treat the symptoms that plague us, but offers strategies for optimum health and lifelong healing.
Dr. Rachel presents an integrative approach that balances conventional medicine, wellness practices, and intuition to heal the body both physically and emotionally. Exploring the causes of today's most chronic health issues, BodyWise teaches women to understand the body's innate wisdom, and to use a customized 28-day plan to restore their five fundamentals of health: eating, sleeping, moving, loving, and finding purpose. Written with the wisdom of a top physician but the warmth and humor of a close friend, BodyWise is a compelling and life-changing work that delivers hope, knowledge, and advice on how to live a life that is healthy and truly fulfilling.
Dr Rachel graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, received her Medical Degree at the University of California, San Francisco and a Masters Degree in Holistic Health and Medical Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley. She practised as a conventional family practice physician for seven years, prior to establishing an integrative medicine practice that allows her to focus on preventive and comprehensive care in more depth.
At Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine, Dr Rachel spends more time with her patients exploring the important connections between health and vitality, relationships, lifestyle choices, work and environment. She discusses potential avenues for treatment from both conventional and holistic medicine for all medical concerns, from lifestyle changes to herbal and supplement therapy to prescription medication. Her goal is always to assist her patients in healing from within and to limit the number of supplements or medications that they need to take, while maintaining their optimal health.
