Author Description

What Healing Means to Me: A Primer serves as a guide to enable the reader to understand in a broad outline Dr. Alexander Augoustides's perspective on why balance and an active physician-patient relationship is integral to healing on any and all levels. His signature program Balance Rx(c) is the backbone on which this work has been developed and also serves as the framework that forms the foundation of what he and his staff do daily at Piedmont Integrative Medicine. This program uses seven keys that each constitute an important segment of the whole, and each segment has at least seven sections. Each of these segments and sections are considered and addressed by each individual. Dr. A lovingly challenges his reader with three foundational questions throughout the book. The purpose of asking these questions is to discover an outline and structure with answers that are both specific and definite. In a more specific sense, the three questions enable the reader to bring and define their why into being, outline the framework of the what, and ultimately show you the way forward. Through the thousands of patients Dr. A has had the privilege of working with, he has discovered that this Socratic approach just works.
