Solidarity Hour... The One with Dr Monica Bickerstaff

Dr. Monica Bickerstaff Riley, MD, affectionately called “Dr. Monica” joined us for Solidarity Hour on 2/19 to share her expertise in the Holistic Health Sciences as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Master Herbalist and Clinal Aromatherapist. She is a long hauler survivor of covid involved in a current Harvard study of the long term effects of covid on the body for those who were infected and able to recover without hospitalization. She shared tips for boosting the immune system, dealing with stress and most importantly how to improve your sleep utilizing traditional herbs, special scents and low and behold, room temperature water and a good ole lemon!

Dr. Monica shared many family therapies passed down through generations and her philosophy on prioritizing self-care for long term maximum health boosting your life span. As we continue to navigate an extended period of social distancing and virtual collaboration, she offered tips to feel more connected and building community through fitness and healthy life alternatives and choices.

Tune in and hear this colorful exchange!
