@denisestlouie I like your metaphor of you being the general contractor for your health. It is an integrate approach with you at the head of the system. It takes resources and money to set up what you did and it's unfortunate that many people are unable to do that. Like you I have set up my own integrated system that is based on recommendations made by my Integrated Medicine physician. I have a personal trainer weightlifting, massage therapist, and see a physician in integrative medicine who is in the oncology department at Mayo. I've also had acupuncture. I use MyFitnessPal to track my nutrients which helps me with my diet. I practice mindfulness which has helped to reduce anxiety. I take my medications as prescribed. So, like you I figure it's about 98% up to me to do the things necessary to take care of my body.

Yes we have responsibility for our own health. Now I know that what I was doing before the he Crohn's diagnosis and then cancer diagnosis have to change.
