Choosing Healthy will focus on the advantages of integrative lifestyle medicine with internal medicine. Dr. Gina has based his practice on an approach to well-being that eliminates the deficiencies in charge of the current health system. “Patient care should again become the main priority of the health system, and I intend to provide this with healthy choice,” said Dr. Gina.
Which led Dr. Gina to continue the medical field
Dr. Gina was born in Romania and came from a family of medical providers. She describes her childhood as a fairy tale. She was the only girl in her family and grew up in a small village, enjoying a simple life with everything she needed. However, when she lost her father against lung cancer, everything has changed.
“When I was fifteen, I lost my father,” begins Dr. Gina. “It was a very shocking experience. Looking back, it was a very important step in life, especially for a girl. It affected me a lot emotionally. I couldn’t understand. I came from a religious family, and I have certain beliefs. My father was my model, and it was very difficult for me. A remedy. It is impossible.
Dr. Gina left the tragedy to guide his brilliant future. She started looking for and continuing her studies, finally registering for the medical school. She finished her internal medicine training in Michigan and then moved to San Diego.
Dr. Gina’s pregnancy has led her to lifestyle medicine
The trip of Dr. Gina to become a mother inspired her accent on lifestyle medicine. “I had a very difficult experience of fertility and becoming a mother,” said Dr. Gina, explaining that she had three false layers. “Losing my father was one of the most traumatic experiences. I learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses. But when you really want something and you believe it, you do your best. I am very grateful to have a son, and he is happy and healthy. ”
Part of Dr. Gina’s efforts to have a healthy pregnancy has been to review her lifestyle. “I lived in the city center, I was not exercising. I was mainly eating fast food, did not sleep well and did not prioritize stress management. I was under pressure to improve my metabolic health and my hormonal health. ” Dr. Gina was considered to be advanced maternal age because she was almost 40 years old, and she therefore made changes in her lifestyle. “I was presented in hot yoga for the first time, and since then I cannot imagine living without yoga.”
The road was always difficult. “All the pregnancy was abnormal. I was told several times that abortion was an option, and I just listened to my intestine. Sometimes medicine and science cannot explain things. My mother Heart and my instinct told me that I would have a healthy baby.”
These challenges marked the beginning of its way to lifestyle medicine. “I learned a lot about how to change your lifestyle before turning to medication. I want to share this with other people. ”
Inspire those around him
After a difficult pregnancy, a cooked blow. “It was a very stressful situation,” recalls Dr. Gina. “I had a young child in my house as well as my husband and my mother in Romania. It was a very stressful house. I had to go to work. I was the only one to leave the house. We were essential workers at that time, and I was not very stressed. Then the gymnasiums and the yoga closed. She continues: “It was one of those situations where I said:” I can do that. How can I do it? And then, when I did, I wondered: “What can I do else?” This is the point I said,
“I don’t want to live my life and die with my dreams.
There are incredible things that I could have done in my life, and I did not even give myself a chance to do them. It also inspired my husband. He started running. Now he does ultramarathons. It was beautiful to see. He said, “I see my wife running, how can I sleep?” He was inspired. We inspire people around us.
Lifestyle medicine
Lifestyle medicine consists of six pillars: nutrition, physical activity, restful sleep, stress management, avoidance of toxins and cognitive connections. “This is what I’m trying to explore with my patients.” Dr. Gina says: “I receive certifications and qualifications in as many areas as possible. I am doing a course right now on mindfulness meditation, and I am also doing a dialectical behavioral therapy lesson. It’s for advice. Then I also do some nutrition lessons. ”
Choose Coronado
Choosing Coronado for your practice was an easy decision. “I have a family: my husband and my son. We have lived in Coronado in the past five years. It’s at home for us. We like to be here. I call it “the island of harmony”. I used to live in the city center and it was a different environment.
Back
From a village in Romania to the island of Coronado, the heart of Dr. Gina is full. “”I only had two hours a day with a black and white TV. So where I started, where I’m right now, I’m very grateful. I can’t say it enough. I am grateful to live in this country. If my parents offered me the most precious gift, which is my life, America gave me the second precious gift, which is my family.
She continues: “I have a career, and I appreciate my blessings at the moment. My life was a booming battle. Looking back, I see the small village in my childhood, but I always look at the mountain. I know it’s a good view. I listen to my heart, and now, as I get older, I think I listen to the way. looking for growth. »»
The patient’s experience at Choose Healthy
With twenty years of experience in internal medicine, Dr. Gina has an interesting perspective. “I think that before falling ill, we are in good health. We have to protect our health. I tell my patients that they are all small universes in a large universe. ”
At Choose Healthy, patients will start with a free 20 -minute visit. Dr. Gina will use this time to establish a relationship and see what problems that the patient seeks to solve and what their medical concerns are.
The next step is a complete two -hour assessment. Dr. Gina is convinced that the opening of the delay will help her and her patients.
Health Tips
Dr. Gina has some important health advice that she finds herself. “The most common council I give to my patients is that sleep is not negotiable. Your day starts the day before. It starts at 9 p.m. She says: “Some people say,” I sleep well “, but do they really have a quality sleep? Sleep is very important because it is accompanied by all the hormonal sales in our body. It also helps to regulate our appetite, our mood and how we interact with other people. ”
Another tip is to stop eating ultra-transformed foods such as hot dogs and candies with food and dyes.
His latest advice is to take care of you first. “I had complications (during pregnancy), and there were a few nights when I was on a hospital bed while waiting for certain results of important tests. I would wonder if I would be able to see my son graduated from the school. It shouldn’t be like that. We should be more health and health measures before becoming parents. You.”
Personal values
Dr. Gina shares that she has a set of personal values that guide her. “My health is my number one priority, and my family comes second. Not because I am selfish and I first put myself, but it is because if I am not in good health, I cannot take care of my family. My third value is growth – professional and personal. “
Finally, the idea of the house. “Then, I have another value that I cherish so much, and it is the idea that the house is all over the world. During my 50 years, there have been several times when I said:” What is the house? “It’s really in your heart.
