Mind-body medicine

The past year put a spotlight on mental health and its effects both emotionally and physically. The mind-body connection is a consistent theme in integrative medicine. Many people tend to associate mind-body medicine with stress management, especially as it relates to COVID-19, and while mind-body approaches can certainly address mental health and anxiety, positive and negative emotions can have a range of effects on physical wellbeing, long-term health, and longevity.
