San Diego Health Magazine

We believe good health is the gift that keeps on giving. So in the spirit of the holiday season, we’ve filled this issue with ideas for improving and maintaining your physical health and mental well-being. You’ll learn how to relieve stress through breathwork and boost your immune system without supplements. You’ll also read about the immeasurable benefits of giving back by volunteering or donating to your favorite cause. You’ll get tips for filling your plate (and your belly!) that won’t elevate your blood sugar this season. Plus, find out about Scripps advancements in heart valve repair and an innovative app to connect you to your care team and other health information while in the hospital. And because the holidays are a time of celebration, we’ve shared stories of Scripps patients — including local painter Mark DeSalvo — who are grateful to have their health back after cancer treatment. No matter where you are on your health journey, Scripps is here for you. We’re here for good.
