103 - What Every Doctor Should Ask You with Dr. Jill Valerius

Dr. Jill Valerius is a doctor who understands the value of treating the whole person. She believes true health and wellness is achieved when the patient and doctor are able to collaborate and create a wellness plan together. She believes the future of healthcare should be physicians walking the journey to health and wellness with you. While over 70% of chronic illnesses are caused by stress and trauma, many physicians are still blind to the powerful results of mindful treatments such as yoga, breath work, and tapping.  Dr. Valerius knows how powerful these techniques are and reveals her morning practice and how important it is for health professionals to be an example of health and wellness. Dr. Valerius is passionate about educating and empowering individuals in lifestyle choices to create health, rather than prematurely jumping to diagnosing and prescribing.   Dr Valerius is dual Board Certified in Family and Integrative Medicine, as well as an additional certification in Functional Medicine. She started her medical career as a Certified Athletic Trainer. She has been practicing in the Mat-Su Valley, Alaska since 2003. Now Health is a membership based practice focusing on personalized care. Outside of work Dr Valerius, enjoys a variety of outdoor pursuits, cooking, reading and is committed to lifelong learning.   Find Dr. Jill Valerius: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nowhealthpalmer Twitter - @JillValerius Website - www.nowhealthpalmer.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jillvalerius/
