This Osteopathic Life

Melvin R. Friedman, DO, FCA, has been a practicing physician since 1985, initially in family practice and then specializing in osteopathic manual medicine. He has written professionally, lectured and mentored current and aspiring medical students, and served as president of the Osteopathic Cranial Academy. His deep passion for the principles and philosophy of traditional osteopathy has led him to understand himself and others as a unity of mind, body, and spirit. First inspired and taught by his physician mother, he has devoted his life to service, offering hope to those with chronic pain conditions. Among other rewards, his practice has led him to make sacred pilgrimages to South Asia and deeply explore his own inner landscape in a quest for spiritual realization. The devoted father of three grown sons, Benji, Daniel, and Jacob, Mel lives with his soulmate and wife, Sherrie, in San Mateo, California. Connect with Mel at [email protected].

Conversations - Dr. Katrice Brooks by This Osteopathic Life

Exploring pain and the invitation it offers to listen. Recognizing source of injury and sites of pain - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. Trusting the body as a messenger and our ability to acknowledge and address.

50th Conversation!

Love these moments and in this episode, was blown away by the power of sharing our stories and stepping into what this moment/diagnosis/disease/experience has to teach us.

Tune in and learn more from Dr. Isabelle Amigues and the importance of connection for health.

Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist specialized in rheumatology. She has trained both in France as well as

Columbia University, in New York City. She is established in Denver, CO where she sees her patients. She is the author of multiple book chapters in the medical field and scientific articles.

She was on the path of becoming a full time researcher when, at 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them, she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine.

She is the co-creator of a community meeting called coExistence where inspiring speakers share their wisdom to improve people’s lives.

She has her own podcast called UnabridgedMD.

Her website is www.UnabridgedMD.com

She can be found on Twitter at @unabridgedMD or Facebook at UnabridgedMD.
