In the past two-hundred years science and technology has seen exponential growth. Every decade a new breakthrough is made. People all over the world are being saved from terrible diseases all thanks to these breakthroughs. But what if there was a treatment option that slipped by, a type of medicine that people have used for thousands of years to cure all kinds of diseases and live a better life? It’s not a fantasy, it’s called mind-body medicine and it is changing the way people look at health.
As much as modern medicine has evolved it still has its limitations. You can’t cure every single problem with pills, surgery, etc. Some problems need to be looked at from a different angle. That is where mind-body medicine comes in. It is a unique form of medicine that looks at treatment of the whole body. They don’t just target specific parts of the body like the heart, lungs or brain. They see the whole system and treat it accordingly.
Mind-body medicine has been around for a long time. It was only a few hundred years ago that doctors started treating the mind and body as separate entities. Although there is indeed validity to this there are still some drawbacks. For problems like depression and stress it can be hard to cure the root cause. Unlike a headache, stress is not as tangible. Therefore giving someone medication isn’t always the answer.
A mind-body practitioner will utilize specific relaxations techniques like meditation, journaling, tai-chi, chi-gong, journaling, art therapy and aroma therapy to help alleviate stress. Each of these techniques is well-known and has its own merit.
In the mid-seventies a man by the name of Dr. Benson from Harvard Medical School started to study mind-body medicine to see its true effects on people. He found through extensive research that relaxation techniques like meditation improve people’s health in all aspects. With that evidence the world of mind-body medicine has become more and more popular.
As the world continues to evolve mind-body medicine will continue to grow. Eastern medicine practices like meditation and yoga have already become widespread in the western world. To fully heal people and make new strides in science eastern and western medicine must come together to act as one.
That is the direction the world is headed in and renowned integrative medicine practitioner Dr. Jorge Bordenave knows this. That is why he has embraced mind-body medicine and utilizes its tactics to heal people of their most troubling problems. Dr. Jorge Bordenave is located in Miami, Florida and works diligently to help people using a holistic approach.
With treatment from Dr. Bordenave you can rest easy as he focuses on treating the root causes of your health problems. No more medications and no more stress. Let Dr. Bordenave be the change you have been looking for. Embrace mind-body medicine and live a better life.

Integrative medicine is designed to treat the whole body. Through a combination of healthy eating and healthy living, an integrative medicine practitioner can change someone’s life. The goal is to eliminate the medications, treat the root cause and feel changes that last the rest of your life.
When looking for such long-term change you must understand that an integrative medicine practitioner can give you the blueprint to healthy living and help you along the way, but to really feel the effects a habit must be formed. A habit is essentially being able to do something without thinking about it. There is no effort involved. Like brushing your teeth, taking a shower, going to work. These are the things you do every day and give no thought to. But there was a time in your life where it was effort. As a child all kids have to be told to brush their teeth or take a shower. It wasn’t until you did it repeatedly over a long period of time that it became a habit.
Another factor involved with forming a habit is seeing the benefit. When you were a child you probably didn’t want to take a shower or brush your teeth. But as you continued to do it you realized the benefits of it; whiter looking teeth, cleaner skin, and a better look. Now that task that seemed like a huge effort became something you wanted to do every day. It started to become a habit and by seeing the benefit it was possible.
Developing a healthy eating habit is the exact same way. Right now if you’re eating habits are lackluster, then eating healthy probably feels like effort. Having a doughnut in the morning seems much easier and tastier then making some eggs. Eating a salad with lunch probably feels like a challenge when a bag of chips is tempting you. It is understandable. But know that if you were able to build other habits like brushing your teeth and getting a shower, you are just as able to build a healthy eating habit. Here’s how.
Start off small and keep things very simple. If you have already paid a visit to your local integrative medicine doctor then they should have given you a clear outline of healthy foods you can eat. Don’t go all in right from the start. Start off with a piece of fruit every day. Eat an apple, orange, grapefruit, etc. Whatever fruit that you really enjoy eating. If it has a great taste it won’t feel like as much effort. Do this for a two-week period. Next find a vegetable that you really enjoy. Eat cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, etc. Whatever it is that you enjoy eat it. Incorporate this in with your current diet for two weeks.
Now a month has passed and you are eating one fruit and one vegetable every day. Keep eating these and now incorporate one healthy meal into your week. It doesn’t matter if it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. It also doesn’t matter what day of the week it is. Find a healthy meal you think you will love and then cook it. Each week add an extra healthy meal.
As time continues on you have very slowly incorporated a healthy diet into your life. You have been eating fruits and vegetables for months. Just about every meal you eat is healthy and your life is changing. It may feel like it is too slow. But building a habit takes time, by doing this so gradually you set yourself up so that it is impossible to fail.
You will also notice a change in the way you feel. Eating healthy for a long period of time boosts your energy and lessens if not eliminates your aches and pains. Just like with showering and brushing your teeth, you see the benefits and you continue forward. Your taste buds will start to change as well. When looking at a doughnut or a bag of chips you will not feel the craving. Instead you will desire fruits, vegetables, beans, lean chicken, etc.
With expert advice from integrative medicine practitioners like Dr. Jorge Bordenave you can set yourself up for long-lasting success. Heal your whole body and make the change that lasts a lifetime.

When you decide to visit an Integrative Medicine practitioner for your initial appointment, there are some steps that you must take before the visit to make it go smoother and get better results. Your initial visit to the Integrative Medicine practitioner will cover everything necessary to establish a baseline for your Integrative Medicine treatment. Once your first visit is completed, your Integrative Medicine practitioner(s) will then analyze your medical records and information gathered from speaking with you during the visit to determine a health care plan for future visits. Your initial visit to the Integrative Medicine practitioner’s office is highly important and has many implications for the rest of your treatment for current and future medical needs.
Before you see your Integrative medical practitioner in person, there are some important and necessary steps to complete. Speak with all doctors, hospitals and related medical professionals to obtain medical records (lab reports, doctor’s notes, prescriptions records, etc.). You will need to document your personal and genetic history of diseases, chronic health conditions, etc. Along with your prescription medical records that your current practitioners have prescribed for you, you should document all supplements and herbs that you take and for what reason. Documenting what your currently ingest is good to let your Integrative Medicine practitioner understand what you are taking and to double check your medical records. Ideally, supplying as much of this as possible before your initial visit is ideal because your Integrative Medicine practitioner can review your records and personal information and ask any necessary investigatory questions.
The next step is to attend your appointment at your Integrative Medicine practitioner’s office. During your first visit, your doctor will follow up and complete their comprehensive review of your baseline health. He or she will speak with you to confirm all of the important details of your medical history – this includes surgeries, past and present major medical conditions, you and your family’s genetic past and any present issues that you are facing. Without establishing your baseline health and any existing chronic or acute health conditions, your doctor will not be able to effectively and efficiently treat you and make appropriate recommendations for your prescriptions, supplements and diet.
After performing a physical evaluation, your Integrative Medicine practitioner will evaluate your diet, supplement and exercise regimen. Based on your current health, diet, supplement regimen and exercise regimen, your Integrative Medicine practitioner will make recommendations based on each factor. Your Integrative Health medicine practitioner may also write prescriptions for the appropriate medication to treat your disease(s) along with modifying your lifestyle choices as well as your nutrition and supplement regimen. Determining your baseline health, along with what your current nutrition and supplement regimen is essential to help your Integrative Medicine practitioner customize your individual treatment program.
After your first visit your Integrative Medicine practitioner will take some time on his or her own to develop a comprehensive or “integrative” approach to your health maintenance plan. Normally, it requires no additional time or interaction with your Integrative Medicine practitioner, unless you want to supply additional medical records. This approach will analyze and synthesize all of the information your doctor has to date on you, your medical records, what you say during the visit and what other physician’s offices might add beyond your medical records. This process will then culminate into a detailed and personalized healthcare plan based on an “Integrative Medicine” approach. You will then have one or many follow-up visits depending on your current health, what you want to accomplish and what you Integrative Medicine practitioner feels is necessary to optimizing your health.
