Elle Russ chats with Integrative Physician Gary E. Foresman MD about the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic: The virus details, the risks, how can you protect yourself, testing, and the nature of a potential vaccine.

In 1994 when Dr. Foresman opened a private practice, he quickly became dissatisfied with the inability of established Western medical treatments to effectively treat many of his patients. Dr. Foresman began investigating alternative therapies and has since expanded his training in many systems of healing—not just through meditation and stress management, but also using botanical, orthomolecular and functional medicine systems. His scientific mind combined with a holistic integrative perspective, makes him a skilled practitioner who therapeutically synthesizes optimal healing modalities for each individual.
