FRESH Med NYC

Dance is a form of expression that brings people together, allows them to be creative in new ways, and is a fantastic way to escape the stresses and cares of everyday life. This was yesterday in Central Park. #mycentralpark #dancersofinstagram #dancingisexercise #dancersofcentralpark #moveitmonday #exerciseismedicine #freshmoves #freshmednyc #ilovenewyork #nyc #dancelikenooneiswatching #justdance #letsdance #mayihavethisdance #dance #exerciseasmedicine #dancers #dancing #bethesdafountain #danceclass #salsa #angelofthewaters #springinnyc #nyornowhere #nycwellness #manhattan

I NY! People of all cultures, races and ethnicities decided to settle in New York, and call it home! You have blocks and neighbors full of people from all walks of life including Asians, Italian, African Americans, Jewish, Russian, Mexican, (just to name a few) and all types of backgroundscoexisting in close quarters. This is what makes NYC so unique: there is so much diversity in one small areaone small island. We need more of that everywhere. All Americans should spend... some time in NYC. Perhaps they would get over their fears of other people and instead learn from them. Yesterday we rolled from Harlem to Chinatown and back to Harlem. Food and the restaurants who serve us play a big role in flavor of New York. People can find everything ranging from dim sum, tacos, samosas, pizza and more in all sections of the city. Not a lot of people realize that many of these businesses rely on us and tourists to visit to make a living. So if you have been thinking about making a trip to New York then now is the time as you can help a local business owner continue to thrive. We need one another! Thanks Henry, Dineen, BikeNY and Foddie Fondo for a great ride. Till next time#wheelsup #NYisback #nystrong #stopaapihate #stopasianhate #stophate #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #buyamerican

Each patient carries his own doctor inside him. They come to us not knowing that truth. We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work. Albert Schweitzer quoted by Norman Cousins in Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient... Double tap if your agree! This quote inspired our online education platform called FRESH MED U. The ultimate self-care model that puts YOU in control of YOUR health. Our comprehensive wellness programs are designed to inform and educate students to learn about the art and science of the "FRESH 5" to strengthen their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health & fitnessfrom home, or on-the-go, and at their own pace.

PrePandemic cooking demos. I miss teaching people about food from behind the kitchen stove. Part of the problem with today’s medical education system is that nutrition is barely taught in medicine. Culinary Medicine combines the art of cooking with the science of medicine. This is me at the grand opening of the teaching kitchen at #GriffinHospital In Connecticut which is part of a Planetree Model of health care. #TBT In their words, Planetree’s mission was simple: inspiring... caregivers to make patients true partners in their care, meeting their human needs and improving outcomes. Personalizing, demystifying, and humanizing the patient experience. Reclaiming for patients the holistic, patient-centered focus that medicine had lost. Looking at everything that touches the patient from their perspective, and using that insight to influence not the what of healthcare the medicine, the science but the how. Nearly 40 years later, that mission remains just as relevant today. Don’t you think we need a little bit more health and care in medicine? That’s what we do at FRESH! #wecare #culinarymedicine #drrobthechef #foodismedicine #foodasmedicine #cookforyourself #foodislove #holistichealth #integrativemedicine #functionalmedicine #cookingismedicine #freshmednyc

This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward. And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America. If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.... We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together. And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start aFRESH. All of us. Let us listen to one another. Hear one another. See one another. Show respect to one another.

Feeling FRESH! It’s been a wild year, and our work on Covid is far from done, but today I feel cautiously optimistic about the future. #grateful #IMVaccinated #IGotTheShot #onedownonetogo #COVIDVaccine #COVID19Vaccine

People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other. -Martin Luther King Jr. Today we honor and reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #martinlutherking #blacklivesmatter #mlk #martinlutherkingjr #ihaveadream #civilrights #love #blackhistory #justice #africa #rosaparks #blackexcellence #art #blm #freedom #martinlutherkingquotes #martinlutherkingday #blackpower #malcomx #mlkjr #mlkday #justiceforgeorgefloyd #blackhistorymonth #martinlutherkingjrday #selma

Change is coming! How FRESH is this!! Insurers should be paying for these services because we know two thingschronic conditions are not going to go away, and food insecurity is not going to go away with a one-off program, says Meagen Rosenthal. #foodasmedicine #freshmednyc Wholesome Wave Local Roots NYC EmblemHealth Glynwood Performance Kitchen

After a couple of days at Glynwood Center of Regional Food and Farming, we are back in the office seeing patients and clients. Yesterday, patients with Hashimoto disorder, SIBO, dermatitis, IBS, MS, Prediabetes, and Hypertension came in for FRESH evaluations. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a physician is making a deep and impactful difference in someone else's life. #FRESHLife #freshmednyc #health #wellness #selfcare #doctorlife #telehealth #shiftit #integrativemedicine #physicaltherapy #healing #crystals #shiftnyc #shiftwellness #nyc #unionsquare #personaltraining #pt #breathe #om #yoga #pilates #meditation #functionalmedicine #chiropractic #doctorpatient #help #care #loveyourself

First of all, we would like to THANK each and every one of you for your participation and continued support. Due to the abundance of caution because of Covid-19, this year’s Glynwood Regional Cooking for Health conference was done virtually. We recorded the event, so stay in touch to view it online. Pictures of my recipes can be found in our stories on Instagram. This video is an introduction to FRESH Medicine from the Glynwood kitchen. We need a FRESH start in Medicine. L...et’s put food first in health care. We will be hosting seasonal events on the farm.

Explore your regional food system! We are blessed to be only 1.5 hours from Glynwood. So excited to be cooking in the farmhouse kitchen seasonal fare! Tickets still available for tomorrow’s amazing and informative event! Link in bio. Local food doesn't have to travel as far to arrive on your plate, so it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to improving our carbon footprint. It benefits the local economy, including supporting local farmers and other producers. #freshmednyc #farmtotable #eatregional #eatlocal #slowfood #tabletofarm #healthcare #farming #regionalfood #health #foodasmedicine #culinarymedicine #cookman #humanhealth #cheflife #SoFRESH

Are lucky people born that way, are they pre-ordained somehow, or do they make their own luck? Over the years, many people have considered me to be a lucky person. I don’t see it that way. While I have been successful in many ways, I believe it's been more a matter of motivation, planning, inspired action, and a good amount of sweat. "Lucky" people make things happen. They are proactive rather than reactive. They make their future. And when you can take responsibility for you...r words, actions, and behavior, you have more control of your destiny. There are three kinds of people: Those who make things happen; those who watch things happen; and those who wonder what just happened. Lucky people take advantage of chance encounters. -Julie Successful people are opportunists. They have the ability to take advantage of novel and often concealed opportunities when they arise. Many people are blind to opportunities because they don’t notice them or because they are inflexible and stuck in their ways. People who practice opportunism see opportunities all around them and are able to use them to their advantage. Being an opportunist involves being mindfully aware; being flexible enough to change your original plans; and being open-minded enough to take advantage of these new opportunities. Lastly, be resilient the fortitude to continue to pursue their dreams, goals, and aspirations in the face of adversity. As Thomas Edison said, I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Go get Lucky! #freshmednyc
