Palliative Care: A model of whole person care
Send us Fan Mail Summary Dr. Ann Berger, a pioneer in the field of palliative care, discusses the importance of whole person care and the misconceptions surrounding palliative care. Palliative care is not just for end-of-life patients, but should be implemented from the time of diagnosis for anyone with a life-threatening illness. Dr. Berger emphasizes the need for personalized, integrative approaches to care that address physical, psychological, social, and spiritual symptoms. She also highlights the role of spirituality in healing and the development of the NIH HEALS measure to capture the spiritual component of care. Despite the proven benefits of palliative care, it is still not widely adopted, and Dr. Berger calls for better education and integration of whole person care in medical training. Takeaways Palliative care should be implemented from the time of diagnosis for anyone with a life-threatening illness, not just for end-of-life patients. Whole person care is essential, addressing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual symptoms. Personalized, integrative approaches to care, such as acupuncture, mindfulness, and pet therapy, can improve quality of life for patients. Spirituality plays a crucial role in healing and should be integrated into healthcare practices. There is a need for better education and integration of whole-person care in medical training.

How can clinicians provide guidance about medical cannabis to patients with cancer?
Send us Fan Mail Summary This conversation explores the topic of cannabis and cancer, focusing on its potential benefits and risks in managing cancer treatment side effects and improving patient quality of life. The guest, Greg Garber, is the director of Oncology Support Services at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center and part of a program that educates patients on the therapeutic claims of cannabis. Takeaways Cannabis has shifted from being perceived as a gateway drug to being recognized for its potential medical benefits, particularly in managing cancer treatment side effects and improving patient quality of life. There is a lack of education and understanding about cannabis among healthcare professionals, which creates challenges in providing sound guidance and instruction to patients. The registration process for medical cannabis can be complex, and patients may face barriers such as lack of digital literacy and financial resources. Normalizing conversations about cannabis and de-stigmatizing its use are important in providing comprehensive care and addressing the needs of patients.

IQVIA Survey Implications
Send us Fan Mail Summary In this episode, Dr. Alyssa McManamon and Dr. Wayne Jonas discuss the results of a yearly IQVIA survey on attitudes and access to integrative approaches for whole person cancer care. The survey shows an increase in positive patient attitudes and usage of integrative oncology. However, there is still a gap between what patients want and what health systems offer. Patients are using complementary therapies to improve their survival odds and manage side effects. The survey also highlights barriers to integrative oncology, such as the need for funding, adequate staff, and clinical guidelines. The role of oncologists in initiating conversations about integrative oncology is crucial, but there is a communication gap between patients and oncologists. Takeaways Positive patient attitudes and usage of integrative oncology are increasing. There is a gap between what patients want and what health systems offer in terms of complementary therapies.

Dr. Audrey Stillerman: Trauma and Recovery
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Audrey Stillerman as we explore a difficult topic that everyone has experienced in some shape or form: trauma. In every episode we discuss whole person care, but today we discuss a more specific type of whole person care called trauma-informed care (TIC). Audrey shares how clinicians can care for their patients understanding that many patients have faced past trauma although they may or may not display behaviors or conditions related to trauma. She reminds us that as clinicians we do not need to know the details of a patient’s trauma to care for them with compassion and to create a healing plan to work toward recovery. The goal is to create a safe space where power is shared, and to avoid re-traumatization. Dr. Audrey Stillerman is an Integrative Family Physician and Clinical Assistant Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago, as well as the Medical Director for the Mile Square School Health Center program where she leads the clinical work of 5 school health centers offering integrated medical and behavioral health services. She serves as a clinician, educator, researcher, administrator, and activist. Since 1991, Dr. Stillerman has provided compassionate, holistic care for families across multiple community-based public practice settings while advocating for equity.

Dr. Cortney Crespo: Weight Inclusive Care
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Cortney Crespo who shares an important message and mindset change around the topic of weight, specifically weight inclusive care, a term new to me. Dr. Crespo is a family medicine physician in Massachusetts, MA completing her Integrative Medicine Educator Fellowship at Tufts University Family Medicine Residency, a novel fellowship designed to foster leadership, teaching, and research in Integrative Medicine. Her goal is to provide and teach comprehensive, holistic care with an equity lens. As we talk, she explains how the power differential between doctor and patient can cause the patient to feel unable to express their desire to not make weight the focus of the appointment. Dr. Crespo shares that clinicians focused on whole person care are also caring for their patients using weight inclusive care. With her patients she follows the acronym VEORS (validate, explore, offer, reinforce, shared decision making) when discussing weight. Clinicians are charged with validating that the patient has control over their body, exploring what the patient is seeking from weight loss, offering medical knowledge pertaining to health, reinforcing what health means, and sharing the decision making. This conversation made me stop and reflect on my practice. I hope the same for you. Enjoy!
