During her years as an integrative health physician specializing in older women, Carolyn saw the benefits of integrating alternative and conventional practices. She advocates a learning partnership with health care providers to obtain optimal care.
Key Takeaways:
- Life doesn't need to slow down in your 60's, 70's and 80s as women look to stay healthy and active in all ways for years to come.
- Now there are many more opportunities to work with practitioners who address your desire for a more holistic approach, both inside and outside the traditional health care system.
- Be a learning partner in your own health care and take a more proactive role in getting the care you want and need.
"As a practitioner, I want to understand how my female patient learns so I can tailor what I say to her way of knowing. If I don’t connect with her as a learner and active participant in her own health care, she's probably not going to make necessary shifts.” Carolyn Torkelson, MD.
