Julie Rake Integrative Medicine

Julie Rake Integrative Medicine It is a real movement and in essence the goal is restoring the focus of medicine onto health and healing and away from disease and mere symptom management.

People often ask, “What is Integrative Medicine (IM)?” The short answer is that IM is the intelligent combination of traditional conventional medicine combined with evidenced based complimentary and alternative treatments. To me IM means a lot more. The IM practitioner embodies health, is a steward of healing and a curator of wholeness. We commit to exemplify the lifestyle we recommend. Whether

the patient needs assistance in the arenas of mind, body or spirit, the provider is adept at partnering with and providing care in any and all of these domains. Today we have excellent practitioners of conventional medicine who manage chronic disease processes and are skilled at critical care. However, we are in crisis in unprecedented ways. Brene Brown, Doctor of Social Science, reminds us “We are the most in debt, addicted and obese adult cohort in American history.” We are in desperate need of practitioners proficient in healing the moral and spiritual wounds that drive damaging behaviors. We need providers practiced at untying the knots and neural pathways that drive negative, damaging and repetitive thinking. We need healers who can assist with personal transformation in exceptional ways raising awareness and expanding consciousness. Finally, we need agents of courage willing to step into the lives of another, to empathically take the journey together. Since antiquity, the role of healer was to lead people out of the darkness of infirmary into the light of health. Having faced our own injuries and illnesses on our own healing journey, we are familiar with the path. In the words of the great teacher Pema Chodron “Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.” The journey into healing is best supported when travelled with a skillful, compassionate and ethical leader to carry the lantern. Integrative Medicine is the vessel through which I attempt to assist in revitalizing and invigorating suspended and infirm lives.

“I was thinking how amazing it was that the world contained so many lives. Out in the streets people were embroiled in a thousand different matters, money problems, love problems, school problems. People were falling in love, getting married, going to drug rehab, getting bifocals, studying for exams, trying on clothes, getting their hair-cut and getting born. And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered.” ~ Author Jeffrey Eugenides

It’s easy to forget that every stranger we see each day is carrying an entire world inside of them. We pass each other all day like ships ~ each mid-chapter in a unique story.

Maybe that’s why small kindnesses matter so much… because we never know what battle someone is fighting. Have a Terrific Tuesday! 🌼

Your Monday Magic is coming from right here at home in beautiful Arizona. 🌅

A few days ago Mesa Fire responded to assist a resident at Acosta Mesa. After the resident was safe one of the firefighters sat down at the piano and played. “The room was filled with music, and smiles. It was a good reminder that kindness can show up in the most unexpected ways.” 🚒❤️

🤖✨ We are living in one of the most technologically advanced periods in human history. AI. Quantum computing. Infinite information at our fingertips.

Yet loneliness, anxiety, depression, addiction, and disconnection continue to rise. 💔

Technology may support humanity. But it cannot replace genuine human presence. 🤝💫
