New Year Resolutions for Wellness by Dr Frank Lipman

Timeless advice to stay vital and well from our archives… 20 ways to add MORE to your life, this year and forever! When I qualified as a Doctor at 25 years old, I thought I knew everythingthere was to know about health and medicine.

By 50, I realized my life training was limited too as my daughter (a teenager at the time) was pointing out “how stupid” I was. And now that I am 55,

Dr. Frank Lipman: Feeling Spent? Ask the Right Questions

Two Questions To Ask That Are More Important Than A Diagnosis… After 30 years of practicing Medicine, I have learned that for any chronic illness or ailment, treating underlying imbalances and dysfunctions is more important than making a diagnosis and naming the disease. Ultimately, asking the right questions is more important than giving a label to a set of observations.
