Concierge Integrative Medical Services

November 4, 2012

Just a quick post to share my excitement as our medical practice expands to offer to our patients the only medical service of its kind in southern California.

As you know, I am passionate about integrative medicine, and after 15 years treating patients and teaching physicians how to practice this medicine, I am still in awe of the results that come with helping the body to heal itself.  There are natural options available for major health challenges, like depression, infertility, ADHD, hormone imbalance, memory loss, chronic pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.

I have been practicing concierge medicine with our high profile patients and am now offering this service to more people.

As a concierge patient you have the option for home visits, a private line to the doctor, help with shopping for the best foods for your body, and a more personal and direct relationship, the way medicine used to be practiced, when your doctor was also a family friend.

Read about our patients’ experiences to learn firsthand from others who have gotten results with the help of this medicine.

You can call our offices at 310-734-0950 (Beverly Hills) or 949-715-9321 (Newport Beach) for more info.

New Study Links Inflammation to Depression

October 22, 2012

A new study, albeit on mice, further points to the link between inflammation and depression. I began publishing on this topic  six years ago. In our medical office I see the real world connection between mood disorders like depression, and inflammation in the body. It is always a pleasure to watch patients as they heal from debilitating symptoms, when we address this underlying cause.

Stay On Top of the Thyroid Epidemic

November 22, 2011

Dr. Gina Cushman of HealthBridge Management LLC to lead a live online continuing education (CE) event on “Innovative Strategies for Optimizing Thyroid Function.” Licensed healthcare professionals receive 1.25 hours of LIVE pharmacy credits by logging on to www.freece.com and registering for Dr. Cushman’s seminar. The first presentation,  Monday November 28th, 2011, offers 1.25 hours of live pharmaceutical CE credits and runs from 10:30 AM ET to 11:45 AM ET.

As always, you won’t want to miss this talk, that will provide new information on how best to prevent and treat the most prevalent thyroid conditions of our time.

Note from Dr. Cushman…”most of my patients associate thyroid issues with weight gain or weight loss. This is true, but just as significant is the powerful impact that an unhealthy thyroid has on your mental health, causing depression, anxiety, difficulty focusing, and difficulty handling stressful situations. Most physicians only test “TSH” which is an antiquated and ineffective way to catch and treat the MAJORITY of treatable thyroid conditions our country is challenged with. I encourage all practitioners to attend this seminar that includes digestible, take home strategies and clinical pearls that you can apply in your practice the next day.”

Support Your Freedom of Choice in Cancer Care

July 4, 2011

Dear Friends, Patients, Colleagues and Family,

Happy Fourth of July!!!

On this day that we celebrate freedom, I urge you to please support the right of doctors and consumers to have access to ALL available cancer therapies that work to heal the body and improve quality of life.

In support and honor of the tireless work of the California Citizens for Health Freedom (I know this to be true, firsthand, as a Past President and long time Board Member of the California Naturopathic Doctors Association and as a current Board Member of CCHF) to gain access to cancer therapies for all doctors and their patients, beyond the standard trio of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.  I have personally donated $600 today, with a commitment of $25 per month so that the California Cancer Bill crafted by CCHF will become law.

Blessings of peace and continued freedom in healthcare for all,

-Dr. G

P.S. Please donate to the California Citizens for Health Freedom (CCHF) now, to support freedom of choice in healthcare & cancer care today!
