Over the weekend, I found myself in a situation, where I had to re-evaluate many important issues... Found still my alignment - vision - mission came down to:
1. Doing the work God has given me - for the moment this is making integrative/functional/lifestyle medicine become integral in a health system... sometimes, I wish that God has given me a different mission...because I was much happier in a smaller/private practice environment.
2. Being a steward of my spouse Vena Tjhang - by being her best friend. Some of you know that I have taken an away job in IL since Oct of 2022. Working for VA opened my eyes - why gov't does not work. Grateful to Ada Bair my current boss.

Grateful for all the physicians who were extremely supportive and helped me to open my eyes - Christa Baker Springston Geetu Goyal Patricia Monique. I have been a firm believer of if things don't work, then move forward, side ways, oblique, or go backward. Don't do things don't work...

Also, I am hoping that Vena Tjhang and I would be in one place together by the end of this year 2024. There are many people who are praying for me and actively assisting me - thank you.

Mathew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Credo - I believe.

Day 5 of Dr. Ken Berry's 90-day challenge. Dr. Berry says to ask ourselves "Why?" The strong the Why - be more likelier of success.

90 day challenge by Dr. Ken D Berr MD starting tomorrow...

So grateful to Dana Renee Knox RN who is our lifestyle medicine RN navigator as well as integrative medicine RN navigator. Under her guidance and combined effort with me as the physician, we now have several patients with T2D (type 2 diabetes) who have experienced effectiveness of our lifestyle medicine program powered by keto-medicine.

1. One person is now off medications and blood sugars are normal which means her diabetes is in remission.
2. Another person has been receiving excellent conventional care for T2D with medications but blood sugars were still high - after one month of keto-lifestyle medicine, blood sugar has decreased to the point one of diabetes medications have been decreased.

Dana Renee Knox RN provides support and care combined that is assisting patients to do the right thing for themselves.

All these are possible because Ada Bair CEO of Memorial Hospital in Carthage, IL has been supportive of creating the best possible program. Even through, hiring RNs are the most expensive option, she understood the value of RNs as integrative medicine navigators - which in itself is a new idea.

Why create a concierge integrative medicine/functional telemedicine practice? Some of most rewarding professional experience was in Georgia caring for patients using integrative medicine/medical acupuncture. When I leave practice location, there are patients who contact me to expressing hope that I would be able to care for them. It was same in Georgia, Florida, Kansas, and Texas. So, I created below practice - mainly for my Georgia patients. Since I was licensed in Florida, I also added Florida. At this time, practice is open to residents of Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

Before accepting position to develop Memorial Institute of Health & Healing, we made sure we could take insurance.
