Be aware of the mind/body connection.

As part of Dr. Simon’s commitment to an integrative approach to health, she is well aware of the mind/body connection.

Emotional stress often manifests itself in physical symptoms and impairs your body’s ability to function optimally. Anxiety and depression deplete the body’s resources and leave it susceptible to infections, organ damage, weight gain/loss, and compromise your immune system.

Dr. Simon knows that conditions such as ulcers, migraines, eczema, and colitis are affected by emotions. Chronic pain is also a common symptom of depression. What may seem a purely physical symptom could also have a psychological component.

Along with a thorough medical assessment, Dr. Simon skillfully integrates a mind/body care plan into an individualized treatment approach as part of their wellness plan.
