Dr. Sarah’s Philosophy of Medicine

Healing is not the absence of disease.

This side of heaven, I accept that we are not home yet and disease, like rain, will come for us all. Rather, healing is moving through the hardship toward restoration, renewal and NEW life.

This type of healing, I believe, cannot happen from medical treatments alone. The body may be fixed quickly with medicine or surgery - your hormones are replaced to “normal range”, your cancer may be gone, you no longer test positive - but you don’t feel back to yourself! You may be told your labs are normal - but you still feel poorly. What now?

I strongly believe that treatment with medicine is only one part - True healing happens when we turn our attention to your full person - the body, mind and spirit. It is only then that you can receive true healing.

Unashamedly, I believe that

True healing is heavenly. It comes from God. Because of Jesus, there is a way for YOU.

“I have come that they may have LIFE and have it to the FULL.” - Jesus, John 10:10

“Christ has set us free! This means we are really free. Now hold onto your freedom and don’t ever become slaves of the law again.” Galatians 5:1

.

I wrestled with this for a long time - What was my role as a physician? - and what was God’s role? I knew I wasn’t God but sometimes I felt I was asked to be! I wanted to make “all things new.”

I had to confront and submit that the healing is God’s part.

My role as a physician is to study His Creation and use science to restore the body back to its naturally created form - that He made good.

I believe we work with medication and Lifestyle Medicine wisdom (which is all found in the Bible’s truth) to restore the body back to the way it was supposed to live - full of life! In my field, this means identifying hormonal irregularity and replacing or supplementing hormones - but it’s never enough by itself. We also must discuss filling the body with healthy foods, moving the body the way it was intended, obtaining a healthy mental diet, finding true rest and connecting relationally.

You were not only made to exist - you were made with a purpose! I would love to work with you to find your best life again!
