We are thrilled to share Beth's glowing review for intense pulsed light therapy for rosacea ... after just one treatment!
"Overall, I do think that the redness, while still there, has diminished. My skin feels amazing and looks so radiant and healthy. I am obsessed with the overall results. For the experience, I thought it was wonderful. I love the idea of going to a place that I already feel comfortable and safe, especially for something I had never done before. I also love a judgment free, full support zone! I thought the entire experience was so pampering. I had a moment where I thought, “so this is what it feels like to do something for yourself!” I also loved the products used around the treatment and for at home. The smells where nice but not overpowering (which is normally a problem for me). The procedure itself was not bad at all! I don’t know what I expected but it was definitely much easier than I had anticipated! All around, I am thrilled with my experience and cannot wait to do it again and to explore the other offerings. I don’t see myself as someone who would frequent a typical spa, but the idea of having access to these services in a familiar and welcoming environment, that I can incorporate into my overall health journey, and review with a medical professional that I trust is just an all around win for me! I cannot say enough good things!" Don't forget to RSVP for our launch event on 6/26, 5 pm!!!

If small steps can lead to big change, then big changes can lead to superabundance when we have the courage to keep our hearts open even when we hurt. Four months ago, losing Griffin unexpectedly left a huge chasm in my heart. Three months ago, Lucy was an unexpected addition who entered into my life at home and at MWHC. Soon after, on a blustery day a big guy (Chris!) with a big Benny's pizza box brought an unexpected opportunity to expand the practice in a new way (AMPlifying our practice through partnership with AMP). All of it so new, all I knew was to sit in a big box with Lucy, and no idea where the the power button was on anything. Then, a 3-day whirlwind training with the incomparable Karen Cooksey () helping us develop unexpected new skills that nourish and nurture our patients in new ways. Sorrow and joy, agony and ecstasy, old and new, hurt and healing... all are two sides of the same coin. When we increase our capacity to hold all the paradoxes of life with loving, trusted partners, then we can step into uncertainty (perhaps even leap into the abyss), confident than on the other side of mystery is grace. Always grace.

MWHC Medical Minute(s) (Fine, fine, yes, I’m long winded. I’m funny, too, though, right? You’re smiling?): Nutrition & Weight loss

Weight loss is a running theme through many conversations the past months.

Am I more aware of it because I’m struggling with menopausal weight gain? -oh yes, it’s personal! (It’s been 4 months, and I *think* I’ve lost 3 pounds overall)

Am I interested because of how semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and terzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) have created national conversations and even conflict? - oh yes, who can resist drama?

Am I entering the conversation because these new medicines are very powerful (dramatic weight loss) and could have potentially powerful adverse effects if we use them carelessly - bowel obstruction, severe depression, muscle wasting and frailty, and illegal business practices of people trying to make money at the cost of patient care? - oh yes, I’m your physician! I’m here to make sure we start off with “DO NO HARM!”

In a world of “either/or”, a holistic perspective includes “both/and” (and even more “and” oftentimes).

We know that weight loss has to be personalized. No one diet fits all. The “best” weight loss diet is the one that you can sustain.

And what motivates one person to stay with a change in dietary patterns is different pending your level of activity, your gender, your age, your medical conditions, your stresses, your work-life balance, your financial circumstances, where and how you buy your food, even what season of the year it is.

I’m like, “heck, yea, I can do a vegan, whole foods, plant based diet!” (If someone will grow my food and prepare it for me. Alternatively,, I was totally vegan at a vegan conference and could have done it the rest of my life if I lived at a vegan conference the rest of my life).

Or, “for sure, I’m going to do the ProLon Fasting Mimicking diet” for 5 days a quarter to cleanse my system (If I didn’t have to be around people, telling me to please eat because I’m in a terrible mood and terribly off).

Or, “yes, let me do that weight watchers app” so I can only track the foods that are processed and eat all the unprocessed foods for 0 points without tracking it (Well, that app is currently my weight tracking app, because I’m not tracking any foods at all)

Or, “Let’s go keto!” (Except then I can’t go (so constipated!!) at all).

So many of us try, and fail, and get discouraged when we talk about, or work towards, weight loss. Because holidays happen, eating out happens, stress happens, and… as much as I want to be a family physician/fitness model/doctor to the Seal teams like Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on podcasts with Jocko Willink who can say, “this is how you do it!”… I’m just Arlene McCain, a menopausal, boundary-struggling, Lucy- loving (she’s destroyed my 3 hour morning practice), Utz Sweet Heat BBQ chips eating (when available. Thank goodness it’s not always!), exercise-routine challenged (I was SOOOO consistent for 6 months last year), family doc that loves to sit for an hour talking about life and love, then goes home and connects with my 16 year old by making small dents into the 1000+ episode anime series “One Piece,” where I usually fall asleep by the 3rd or 4th episode and wake up to Lucy’s potential wet/dry surprises around the house before going to sleep for real (for 4 or 5 hours).

So, for me, when I think about, “what works” for weight loss, I sincerely say, “whatever works for you.” I think it’s important to take all the things you’ve tried over different times of your life, during different seasons of the years and be clear about what works for you without feeling bad about what does or doesn’t (it’s true, a bunch of my special chips barely moves the needle on my sugar, while a sandwich with 647 bread and a mandarin make my sugar jump high and take a long time to settle back down). How do foods affect you? Don’t be shy. Own it! (See here? I’m telling myself this, too).

The one thing I can say with 99% certainty is that we CANNOT be rigid. We are humans - made for diversity, made to experience lots of different aspects of life. Our bodies will not allow us to eat the same thing all day, every day because we are not supposed to be doing the same thing all day every day. So we have to be in tune with ourselves enough to know what we really need to nourish our bodies at certain times, and to honor our bodies and give it what it needs to do what we ask it to do. We can go out of our way to do things for others, right? Go out of your way to do things for your body.

You’re not here to live other people’s lives.
You’re here to live your life AND to offer your gifts and talents to others.

When we feed the billions of bacteria in our gut just a few things, that eventually means that we’re selecting certain bacteria to dominate, which shifts our natural gut diversity, and starts to limit our natural resilience.

That’s my initial big picture thoughts on food and weight loss. Take from it what you need to (ie, what resonates with you inside so loudly, you’re like, “Amen,sister!)

Now, the lovely thing about having community is that we have lots of people trying different things with different results. We have resources in one another. So, let me share a few resources that have come up regarding nutrition/weight loss recently. (And if you’ve got more, add them in, with your own sassy (or serious) comments. We are all Editors on this Google doc)

“She is really fantastic and is really about empowering women in all areas of their lives. Her approach to weight loss is about controlling the mental aspect of it which for women is probably 95%. Her free podcast is Losing 100 Pounds With Corinne Crabtree.
She is truly motivating. She has lost 100 lbs and kept it off!!”

“The ReNew Food Plan prescribed by a Functional Medicine practitioner is a therapeutic, short-term approach followed for a specific amount of time, often used as a first step in: Ridding the body of the most common foods that cause inflammation
Identifying food allergies, sensitivities, intolerances, and triggers
Eliminating foods with potentially addictive and harmful components
Providing nutritional support for the body’s detoxification systems”

Lucy's Solar Eclipse Monday, fun day!

12/16/2023

12-16-23

Today is Randi’s race day (and Matt's birthday! Happy Birthday, Matt!).

She’s mapped out her personal 26.2 mile marathon between Harrisonburg and Bridgewater. It’s part of living into her WOTY “Intention,” running a marathon before she turns 30 next year.

And thinking about races makes me think of 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

We are all on our personal journeys, we are all in our own “race,” of becoming increasingly conscious of our True Selves as part of One Body and receiving our personal “prize.”

We all are called to the “strict” training of discernment. For any big challenge, we have to be mentally prepared. That’s where we start. My favorite Yoda quote (which I’ve shared before) says it all - “Do or do not. There is no try.”

“Do or do not” is the spirit of Love.
“Try” is the spirit of fear.

Our brains are wired to default to fear to keep us safe. Normal. Not good or bad. Not wrong.

But the purpose of every relationship we have is to challenge us to rewire our neural pathways so that our default pathways are increasingly primed towards love.

“Neural pathways are not set … so there isn’t any specific number existing in your brain. You’re born with a blank slate and have to create them as you go. If you have 100 billion neurons, and each can make 250 000 connections, that's 100 billion times 250 000 possible connections, which is about 25 000 trillion or 25 quadrillion. There are a million more potential connections in your brain than stars in the milky way.” (https://lifexchangesolutions.com/neural-pathways/ #:~:text=We%20can%20calculate%20the%20max,stars%20in%20the%20milky%20way.)

That’s a lot of potential. That’s a lot of pathways of Love to create. See how limitless our inner world is? See how much freedom we actually have in us that has nothing to do with the limits of our physical life circumstances?

Each of us is a galaxy. Each of us has 25 quadrillion potential paths in which to reframe our mental understanding of the world. 25 quadrillion paths to see the world through the eyes of fear, or 25 quadrillion paths to see the world through the eyes of love.

It’s the work of a lifetime. The sheer potential is overwhelming, and yet the number is so vast it also is reassuring. You can’t ever reach perfection. That’s not the point.

The point is that there are ALWAYS opportunities to choose.

And the point doesn’t revolve around the discrete 100 billion neurons… it revolves around the CONNECTIONS between the neurons.

When we look at every part of our world, our lives, and ourselves, the Truth at every level is that it’s the connections – the relationships – that matter.

And the other Truth is that our connection with ourselves is foundational to our connection with the world.

We are conditioned to believe that what we DO (or do not, or do wrong, or do imperfectly) or what others DO (or do not, or do wrong, or do imperfectly) TO US affects whether or not we are loved.

But, when I read the Bible, the underlying theme is ALWAYS that we are loved.

Shake away all the confusing, contradictory details of the Bible and ask first, “What kind of book is this?” I mean, look in a bookstore and it’s in the “Religion” section. But I honestly believe it’s been miscategorized.

It’s a Love story that holds all the other kinds of stories of all the kinds of people.

Not romance, not history, not biography, no poetry, not fiction, not literature, not “how to”…

And yet, ALSO romance, and history, and biography, and poetry, and fiction, and literature, and “how to”….

It’s the Love story of Love to Love’s People.

It’s the story of the great “I AM” (Moses and the burning bush) to every “YOU ARE BELOVED” one of us.

So the foundational step of living a life of love isn’t so much proving we are lovable (which is dependent on actions we take and actions taken upon us to prove or disprove that we are loved).

The foundational step is TRUSTING that we ARE beloved.

We have to sit with that. We have to have time and space to sit with it and receive it and be filled with it.

We can’t DO anything. We have to BE STILL so we can BE LOVED.

To be beloved is not conditional on anything.

That’s who are ARE. That’s our essence. That’s the starting point.

Keep it simple. That’s the hardest thing to do.

Anyone else still trying to declutter? Anyone else still trying to simplify their lives? Anyone else still overwhelmed with tasks?

But the thing is, those THINGS aren’t who we are.

Who we ARE gets lost in what we DO, and eventually we begin to see ourselves as those things, or measure our value against all those things.

The answer to ” Who am I?” has already been answered. “I am beloved.”

And regardless of whatever else is going on in our fear-based neural pathways or in our fear-laden world, we are called to trust that our BE-ing (our essence) is as BE-loved.

Why do I keep talking about this? Because I’m still trying to believe it myself. I’m still trying to trust it myself. I’m still trying to rewire the quadrillion pathways in my mind so that more and more pathways default to trusting in my belovedness, so that more and more of my thoughts default to love, so that more and more of my intentions are rooted in love, so that more and more of my actions are naturally loving.

So often, we can see the belovedness of (some) other people more that we can see it in ourselves.
But the call is to see the belovedness of ALL people AND see it in ourselves.

If we trust in our belovedness, then we don’t become victims, nor do we have to create more victims. It's not a power struggle where some win or lose.

It’s claiming your power, and creating an inner and outer world that includes every thing, every person, and every experience. Because every thing, every person, and every experience can be transformed by the power of your love.

The race we’re running in our own lives - is towards Love.
The crown we seek - is our belovedness.
The prize we claim - the Spirit of Love working through us and affecting all the world around us.

Peter 2:9 NIV
“ … you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ”

See that? We are beloved.
Believe it.

Do, or do not…

Train.
Run your race.
Win your prize.

Claim your belovedness.
Claim the Spirit of Love.
Claim your authority to rule your world with Love.

Election day! Cast your vote in government and (on a smaller scale, in healthcare)...

Dear MWHC Family,

Call me crazy, but I think we can win the $40,000 grand prize. https://votefab40.com/2023/arlene-mccain

If you’re not on Facebook, you may not have seen my regular posts about the Fab or 40 competition. (For those who have, and who have been voting-- thank you!!)

We’ve been going through a lot together with the system transition, so I didn’t want to overwhelm you with a tangential “wouldn’t it be nice to win?” project, when foundational practice changes were the priority.

However, we went through the change (and yes, it sometimes felt as chaotic as menopause), and are on the home stretch of our goal of having Atlas fully functional as our billing and health record system by January 2024!

In the meantime, let’s stay engaged with one another.

If you’ve got a Facebook account (or don’t yourself but know others who do), “click for a cause” (once a day or once a week) through December 14. I honestly believe we can win this competition.

So, what is this Fab over 40 competition?

It's a competition celebrating the fabulosity of women over 40 — it’s often around this age that women start to release expectations of who we’re “supposed” to be, and revel in the glory of who we truly “are.”

And, because any good competition celebrates more than an individual and is of service to something greater, this competition is a fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, whose mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing research. (There are many women in the practice whose lives have been changed by breast cancer. Please pray for them and their loved ones.)

The way I see it, y’all have already gotten in the groove of daily voting and we won the local DNR’s 2023 “Best of the Valley” Primary Care Physician.

So, let’s do it again and win the national Fab over 40 competition!
https://votefab40.com/2023/arlene-mccain

Why?

1-The 2 page spread in New Beauty magazine would provide a platform to share with a wider audience of women (who drive health care choices) the New Medicine of direct primary care (DPC), which is a return to the Old Medicine of patient-centered, personalized healthcare in a mutually respectful, trust relationship. Plus, I could also share how New Beauty is often a return to the Old Beauty of loving our hearts, minds, and bodies so well that we intentionally create time and space to savor our inherent belovedness. The New Beauty is actually rediscovering our inner sparkle, and letting that light radiate brilliantly each day rather than having it burn out by day’s end.

2- The $40,000 grand prize would be invested in the practice. One, to fund additional group activities to create community (more MWHC movie nights, as well as new retreats and workshops). Another, to provide seed funding for a mentorship program supporting local physicians interested in opening DPC (direct primary care) practices. And a third, a not-yet-known-but-will-be, since the Trinitarian 3 always feels most complete.

3- And yes, I’d love an Arizona spa-cation and would fully embrace that temporal pleasure with gratitude.

See, the three-fold love here? Love God ( #1.. God is asking me to have the courage to speak my heart into the world and so I’m saying yes), and Love Others ( #2- all the people connected to the practice and my fellow physicians), as we Love ourselves ( #3– I appreciate the chance to rest).

Admittedly, this is an unusual ask. I cringe a little — Have I entered a beauty competition? But then I sat in the solitude to reflect on the word “beauty” (which has a superficial connotation), and the deeply spiritual “Via Pulchritudinis” (“The Way of Beauty”) came to my consciousness and led me to this:

“The way of beauty replies to the intimate desire for happiness that resides in the heart of every person. Opening infinite horizons, it prompts the human person to push outside of himself, from the routine of the ephemeral passing instant, to the Transcendent and Mystery, and seek, as the final goal of the ultimate quest for wellbeing and total nostalgia, this original beauty which is God Himself, creator of all created beauty … Man's intimate desire for wellbeing is faced with the evils of suffering and of death…The voice of beauty helps open ourselves up to the light of truth, and it lightens the human condition helping it seize the meaning of pain. In this way it helps the healing of these injuries.”
-Section II.3 The Way of Beauty, Pathway towards the Truth and the Good
http://www.cultura.va/content/cultura/en/pub/documenti/ViaPulchritudinis.html

Here, then, is one way for beauty (Fab over 40 competition through New Beauty magazine) to open the way towards healing (fundraise for breast cancer research and highlight the New-Old Medicine of direct primary care).

So, over the next 5 weeks, please vote! https://votefab40.com/2023/arlene-mccain

Goals:

1- November 2-9: stay in the Top 5 of my group
2- November 9-16: be #1 in my group
3- November 20-30: advance to the quarterfinals
4- December 1-7: advance to the semifinals
5- December 8-14: win the Grand Prize!

You get (1) free vote every 24 hours.

If 100 people voted once a week, that’s 100 votes
If 100 people voted once a day, that’s 700 votes
If 100 people gave the minimum $10 donation on 2 (votes)-for-1 (dollar) days, that’s 20 votes a person, and that’s 2000 votes!

See why I think we can win? (Only 20 votes moved me from 4th to 3rd place!) There are more than 100 of you. And some of you might even consider donating (to the National Breast Cancer Foundation) more than $10 on the 2-for-1 vote days.

If you’re already on Facebook, a couple of extra clicks a day won’t take much time, yet could have a huge effect!

Will we win? I’m “rest”-ing in our relationship on this one.

If winning this is meant to be a step forward in MWHC’s evolution, the Spirit will move us forward in one accord.

I surrender the outcome (Amen, so be it), AND I celebrate the joy of feeling Fabulous over 40.

With gratitude- Arlene
https://votefab40.com/2023/arlene-mccain

PS, **when** we win, we will host a party catered by Mama (Angie) Santos herself, and provide the opportunity for y'all to meet my parents - who gave me the courage to follow my crazy dreams and continue to create more.
