For years, integrated care has been a term that reflects a concern to not only improve upon the overall patient experience, but most importantly to achieve greater efficiency and value from health delivery systems. Dr. Rodarte’s passion for treating patients, along with a science-based approach to improving quality of life isn’t limited to treating diagnoses; rather she is focused on achieving optimum health from the inside-out, and that is why at Activated Health & Wellness, patients experience personalized, integrated medicine – whole person care.

To all the moms out there who love unconditionally, we see you. We appreciate you. We are so grateful for you. Today is all yours – Happy Mother’s Day!
Food choices – let’s face it, sometimes they’re a challenge. We know what we SHOULD do, but don’t always make the right decision. Here’s a tip – nourish your body with smart food choices by doing meal prep for the week PLUS planning a “treat” day to the menu. Let’s not call it a cheat day. Having a regularly scheduled treat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from the norm, and boosting metabolism—if it's done in a healthy way. Schedule an appointment to learn more!

The weather is heating up and increasing your water intake has never been more important. Tea and coffee (in moderation) can also be counted as “water”. How much water do you drink per day?

Can we be real for a minute? They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but adding cooking to our “things to do” in the morning somehow doesn’t make the list. How many of you grab something quick before you run? Here’s a tip: If it’s not in the house – you won’t grab it. 😉 Stock up on healthy foods you can grab on the go, or better yet – ever make a frittata for supper? Save a piece for work the next day. It can be devoured cold or at room temperature for a healthy breakfast on the run!

Theresa Martinez joins our team as Front Office Coordinator. She’s a native Phoenician born and raised in the great state of Arizona! We love working with Theresa for the joyful attitude she brings to the practice each day. She genuinely loves helping people, and that’s a very big part of what she does at Activated Health & Wellness. When she’s not at work, one may find her watching sports in some capacity. She’s an avid Dodgers fan and also catches as many ASU softball games as possible! She loves hanging out with her family and four dogs. When she’s spending some downtime alone, you may find her consuming her all-time favorite book, Gone with the Wind. If you haven’t met Theresa yet, you will! She’s the first smile you see when you enter the office. Come on in, join us in welcoming Theresa!
Ladies – you’ve got this! No matter what the activity – engage in some form of exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. Walk around the block at lunch time, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Use your desk for a handful of quick presses! Whatever you do, #activate.

Men – you want to get back to running but it’s been a minute – or perhaps years. 😉 Start off with a walk, a sprint, a jog. You’ll be back to running in no time - but do it the healthy way. Warm your body up to the activity, stretch – don’t push. Simply get out there and #activate.

We believe that mindfulness is important to do daily. Here are 3 mindfulness habits you can practice every day:
1. Stop for a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature, such as a sunset or sunrise
2. Practice deep breathing- in through your nose and out through your mouth
3. Take time each day to do something that you enjoy
What do you do to practice mindfulness? Please share with us in the comments below.
