🌟 Weekend Reflections: IPM Integrative Conference This weekend, I had the privilege of attending the IPM Conference, filled with inspirational talks about the future of functional medicine. The key takeaway? The immense value of truly listening, caring, and empathizing with our clients' concerns. This morning, a client confided in me that they’ve never felt comfortable raising one of their concerns with their doctor because the consultations are so short. There’s simply no time. This highlights a critical issue in our healthcare system and underscores why I love my job—because I can provide the attentive care that each person deserves. As we move forward in functional medicine, it’s essential to prioritize deep, meaningful conversations with our clients. It’s not just about treating symptoms but understanding the whole person. Let’s continue to listen, empathize, and care deeply. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e3KHdxJh #IPMConference #FunctionalMedicine #PatientCare #EmpathyInHealthcare #ListeningToPatients #HealthCareInnovation #IntegrativeMedicine #HealthcareReform #WellnessJourney

Today on a call with some peers I learned this interesting fact about medical savings accounts. See below the "frequently asked questions" Thanks Glenn Odell and Kristin Ramirez for the information! Q10: Is the cost of a gym membership a medical expense that can be paid or reimbursed by an HSA, FSA, Archer MSA, or HRA? (added March 17, 2023) A10: Yes, but only if the membership was purchased for the sole purpose of affecting a structure or function of the body (such as a prescribed plan for physical therapy to treat an injury) or the sole purpose of treating a specific disease diagnosed by a physician (such as obesity, hypertension, or heart disease). Otherwise, the cost of a gym membership is for the general health of the individual and is not a medical expense.
