I have always been in awe of the practice of medicine, and as a doctor both in training and practice, have never taken for granted the sacredness of the doctor-patient relationship.  It is rare that patients see us when they are feeling balanced and well; usually, they are ill, distraught, and vulnerable, and look to a practitioner for solutions to achieve well-being.

Last month Dr. Stram and I were down in NYC for the Integrative Health Symposium. There were many speakers in attendance including Deepak Chopra and David Perlmutter (author of The Grain Brain). The symposium had a strong emphasis on nutrition and health.

As we enter the month of March we begin to transition from winter into spring. Some of the oldest Chinese medical texts suggested thousands of years ago that humans should live in harmony with the natural cycle of the seasons.

Introducing our new program: intravenous therapy for wellness and prevention, increased energy, immunity, detoxification, and more. 

We often associate healthcare with "sick" care - but then where does wellness fit in? At the Stram Center, we believe that it is not only important to heal the body, but to also bring the body into its utmost state of wellbeing.

Wellness means something different to every individual and lifestyle. Whether you are looking to lose weight, gain more energy, learn how to eat right for your body's needs, or simply feel your very best - this program is for you.

What: A free support group for all teens and young adults who are afflicted with Lyme are welcome! You do not have to be a patient at the Stram Center. Share your story, find support for the unique challenges this age group has while facing Lyme disease. The group is lead by Julia Rinaolo [email protected] and Kelsey O'Brien: [email protected]. Feel free to contact them.

When: Every third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM.  Please check our calendar for any cancellations!
