The Most Overlooked Step In Healing | Dr. John Rosa | Mastery Wellness Podcast Ep. 3

"The biggest tip I can ever give is that people need to understand the communication between mental and physical health. It's the most overlooked thing in healthcare." That is Dr. John Rosa, and after 33 years in practice it is the step he says most people skip in healing. It is also why he practices integrative medicine, which he describes as specialists bringing their expertise together to look at the whole person, then going upstream to find out why the problem started. Today he runs ABC Clinics, 14 integrative locations across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, where medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and behavioral health work side by side. In Episode 3 of The Mastery Wellness Podcast he shares how a wrestling injury sent him to a chiropractor in high school, how sitting in a medical office down the street helped cut its opioid prescribing by seventy percent, and what he told the White House about treating the everyday patient the way pro teams treat an injured athlete. He also talks about giving back, the school that shaped his whole family, and the line he lives by: don't do something, be something. Full disclosure: Dr. John Rosa is the host's brother, and he and Dr. Rick Rosa developed 24/7 Relief & Recovery, the show's sponsor.
