"An ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure"

Jul 28, 2026
An Oncologist on Linked In shared modern medicine begins only after disease has begun, focusing on treatments when instead we should be asking, how do we help people create health before disease occurs in the first place.Nurses/NP's have always known this!

As an integrative, holistic, function medicine gynecologic Nurse Practitioner, I preach all the time to my patients about prevention, wellness and longevity as the keys and answer to preventing disease in the first place.  Invest in your health while you still have it. Empower yourself and be an avid and responsive proactive partner in your healthcare with your clinicial provider.  We have agency over our well being physically, emotionally & spiritually. We can't always control gene expression but can help enhance good expression & mitigate /diminish bad expression,through life style; That said, it's a choice we all make EACH AND EVERY DAY!!.

Number UNO RULE- NUTRITION IS KING AND YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!.(Limit additives. preservatives) eat organic as much as possible at the bottom of the food chain meaning plant based at least 4 out of  days week. Avoid environmental toxins. Next comes sleep, followed by excericse and body movement, stress management, social connection, neuro modulation, positive psychology, gratitude,& hope. Living into the possibility of having good health & faculty should be taught in our youth & twenties. It's like putting money in the bank of buying stocks. A great clinician wants to create partnership with their patients encouraging them to empower & "investing in themselves- a bit like life insurance. If we are mindful about what we eat/how we construct/live our lives & base this on trying to age as healthy & well as possible, ALWAYS thinking about investing in ourselves & thinking about antioxidants & mitigating oxidative stress, we probably will probably create the opportunity to have a healthier more vibrant and longer life. Food is medicine, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Finally as my German grandmother in her think accent would say "your health is your wealth. Without it you have nothing."
