Dear patients,
We are here to support you during this challenging time. You may feel alone yet we want you to know we are with you! All of us are learning each day on how to best respond to the current pandemic and stay in a state of calm yet also be proactive while we are able to best mitigate our current situation. Please read this email in its entirety! We are sharing a lot of important information with you here.
Due to our belief that we must be a part of reducing the cases in our area, we have decided to shift all visits to virtual at this time. We will re-evaluate this at the end of March and let you know if we are to continue this into April. For now, no worries as your appointments will be honored over Zoom versus live. This is to protect all of us. Abbe will be in touch with Zoom links. She will send them the day prior to your appointment. I promise very easy to use!
Keep in mind, IF you are overdue for a visit, we will not honor refills. Also, if a new prescription is requested, or you are utilizing your current short-acting medication more frequently, we will ask you to make an appointment before allowing the refill.
We have been using a HIPPA compliant Zoom for about a year with some of you, thus we are ready to shift to this model at this time. Remember that all supplements may be ordered on our online store HERE.
Have you read The Mysterious Mind yet? If not, now is your chance to order a copy and read our book so you are able to spend time really delving into your healing during this time. In fact, you could even download the 50-page cookbook (link at the back of the book). Go HERE to order. Practice cooking different recipes. I promise the best way to protect yourself at this time is to eat healthy foods, well spiced and work on your mind :) If you are a part of our Shift Network Gut-Brain Reboot course, I know this is the week you are practicing the recipes! Perfect time to do this....
I would like to share some resources to help you during this time.
1) First, a video to review the basics. This video, recorded by someone who is in the trenches in Italy, truly spoke to me. She shares what worked to help a community resolve their cases of Coronavirus. Please take the time to listen and follow her instructions. I find them very doable and could potentially make a big difference in the upcoming weeks. It is positive and uplifting, along with mentioning my favorite breath technique! Please watch and share with all of your loved ones...
Our goal is to "Flatten the curve". See #2 to explain this. It is our responsibility to put every effort into making this happen so we can slow down the progression of this virus...
See video HERE
2) Understand the meaning of "Flatten the Curve" and tell everyone why they need to help make this happen!
In a nutshell, if we can practice social distancing and frequent hand washing, along with a few other things, we can slow down the rapid progression of the disease. This is crucial because at this time, we do not have the test kits needed or supplies for our first-line responders to handle a situation if our cases grow exponentially.
See the article to discuss Flatten the Curve HERE
Let us all work together during these times to reduce the intensity of this outbreak. I do believe that we are all experiencing this together and hope that we can remain calm, compassionate and helpful to those around us who most need our support.
There is always an opportunity to learn during these challenging times. I promise we will all come out of this experience having grown in learned in ways we could never imagine.
Lots of love,
Trupti Gokani, MD
