If the Body has a History, What Can it Teach Us?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

In the last post we looked at the research on the human body as a carrier of meaning, with a discernible history with lessons to teach us. Let’s look at this idea more closely. The work of Steen et al., “Generalized chronic musculoskeletal pain as a rational reaction...

Coping with Stress as a Variable

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In previous posts it has been well established that the immune system is susceptible to the cascade of effects produced by stress, but what makes one person’s immune system more susceptible? Can stress have statistically measurable and quantifiable consequences for an...

Unmasking the Symptoms of Dis-Ease

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

One woman’s journey from dis-ease to optimal health   Always being a healthful-minded, go-getter type of person, my career and family life have always been extremely busy. As an entrepreneur and mother of three, everything was scheduled down to the minute, yet...

Is Fear Causing Your Dis-Ease?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

How fear can cripple your body, mind, and spirit As the spine-chilling images of a new horror film flicker across the screen, your heart races as you try to anticipate the impending scare. Knowing the ‘killer’ will pop out at any second but not wanting to miss a thing...

The Missing Link Of Modern Medicine

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health, Addressing Your Pain

Long ago, doctors used to believe that the fascia, the yellowish material just beneath the skin, served no purpose. To them, it was merely cushioning the body like a layer of fat. During surgery, it was simply removed because they thought it was just not that...

Do You Believe that Sacrificing Yourself is of Service to your Clients?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Advancing Your Practice

Taking the wellbeing of our clients as our own is far more common than you think.  Actually, it stems from the belief that we can fix everything. That your patient’s story and their pain is literally yours, to the point where you have neglected or disconnected from...

Symptom-Free Does Not Mean Healthy

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In my last post I contrasted mainstream health institutions’ attitude to health with the definition of the World Health Organization: “complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” It is evident that patients with...

What is a condition of Good Health?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

Understanding the patient’s purpose in coming to you is paramount for a doctor. The Latin root of “doctor” means “to educate,” but this often falls short of the mandate. We must educate patients about their symptoms, as well as the possible causes and all the options...

Great Expectations and Discouraging Experience: The Practitioner’s Inspiration

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

Most doctors and healthcare practitioners enter the field with great expectations and a strong desire to help people. Many have a personal story, often of a family member or relative who suffered. Whether or not they died or were “saved,” a light was turned on because...

Understanding Pain Requires Understanding the Mind-Body Connection

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | Addressing Your Pain

In my last post I discussed how understanding the mind-body connection enables doctor’s to better LISTEN to symptoms. Toward the end I cited the case of pain as an illustration. Today I want to explore that topic a little more deeply. Consider the experience of pain:...

Symptoms will speak to us, if we’re ready to LISTEN

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

The term “prescription” requires exploring the patient-doctor relationship. It should reaffirm the doctor’s purpose, opening up the healing dialogue. My conviction is that the body’s symptoms call upon us to LISTEN: they’re trying to say something. This is true of...

Why Listening To Your Body Is The First Step To Healing

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

We had the pleasure of interviewing Kelli Benis. We discussed how pain is just an obstacle and that by listening to your body you can reach a life free from pain.   Read the full interview below and learn how Kelli took her first step to a healthier life.  How do you...

My Experience of “Disease” as a Personal Journey

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In my last post I began a discussion of the paths that lead us to the new healthcare paradigm. There I discussed the personal experience of a disenchanted law student who discovered that justice through the law wasn’t all I’d initially thought it cracked up to be....

The New Healthcare Paradigm as Social Justice

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In my last blog post, I discussed the emergence of a new paradigm in healthcare and some of the opportunities it was beginning to open up. Such important changes in how people think, feel and act are not expected to come out of nowhere.  So, from where has all this...

Embrace The New Change In Healthcare

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

In my book, What Patients Don’t Say, If Doctors Don’t Listen, I discussed how the day-to-day challenges of our practices can wear down the initial inspiration to heal for many healthcare professionals. It doesn’t need to be that way, though. There is a new paradigm,...

Are Doctors’ tongue tied?

by Manon Bolliger, facilitator & retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice | About Your Health

Most doctors and health care practitioners enter the field with a strong desire to help people. Many have a personal story, often of a family member or relative who suffered. Whether or not they died or were “saved,” a light was turned on because of their experience....
