Did you know that the body has its own intelligence? What if there are many options available for you to feel so much better and attain optimal wellness? The quick fix is not a fix. Wellness is not just about being free of disease or illness, it’s about thriving. Can integrative medicine offer a personalized solution that would work best for you? In this insightful talk, Dr. Cindy Tsai, MD, invites us to explore blending the best of all worlds to truly be well. Dr. Cindy Tsai is a board-certified physician, bestselling author, mindfulness teacher, speaker, and life coach who is committed to helping high-achievers live their best life with ease. She earned BA and MS degrees from Johns Hopkins University and MD degree from the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. As a physician and patient, Dr. Tsai saw and experienced the impact of chronic stress on the body and was compelled to do more than prescribe medications as a bandaid. Through her own healing journey, she explored and trained in a wide range of solution-oriented therapeutic modalities and now emphasizes taking an integrative approach to wellness. As author of the bestselling book, "So Much Better: Life-Changing Strategies to Develop Calm, Confidence, and Curiosity to Become an Inspiring Success Story", she introduces a radical path to well-being, through creating the Inspiring Success Story MethodTM.
