The Integrative Palliative Podcast

This week I'm sharing an interview that I did on Dr. Tolulope Olabintan's show. We chatted about how to approach the hard stuff - when a loved one has a serious illness. Our conversation ranged from how to hav enough conversations to the biggest mistakes that loved ones make to how to find happiness even when facing a serious illness.

Come listen!

Excellence in integrative symptom management is worth pursuing - for your patients and for yourself. It is a style of practice that is impactful and deeply meaningful.

The 4 kept components are:
1) The mind-body-meaning-relationship approach
2) Seeking the symptom's underlying cause
3) Creating a bigger toolbox
4) Committing to keeping your own "cup" full.

You may think that you can't add an integrative approach to your practice because your patients visits are too short.  This is a myth. While it would be great to have hour long visits with each patient, the integrative approach can be snuck in to any patient care visit, no matter how short.

This week you'll learn 10 tips for creating an integrative symptom management practice in the real world.

You'll also want to check out the Integrative Symptom Management webinar for physicians that I'm offering on Saturday, September 24th at 12:30 EDT.  Sign up below.

Other people's strong emotions can be scary.  

If you're in the exam room and your patient is crying what should you do? Should you prescribe an SSRI? Sometimes, but do you know for sure when crying is depression and when it's not? If you prescribe an antidepressant, what else should you do? What if the patient is not depressed, but is struggling with sadness. Do you know just what to do?

This week on the Integrative Palliative Podcast we will explore how to know when a person is sad or depressed and exactly how to help.

This week on The Integrative Palliative Podcast you'll learn 6 wisdoms that came directly from people near the end of their life. They share things that they want us to know so that we can best support them as they face their illness. Some of these came from my own patients, and some came from the loved ones of physicians who received 1:1 mentoring with me to learn how best to support their loved one.

There is great wisdom here.

Share with someone who needs to hear this message.

People with cancer face significant side effects - both from their cancer and their chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation treatments. They often seek out complementary or integrative approaches alongside their conventional medical treatments, but they may have to figure out what to use without any medical guidance. The ideal scenario would be for the integrative approach to be folded into the oncology practice itself!

In this episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast we'll talk about the WHY, WHAT and HOW of adding integrative medicine into an oncology practice.
