It\u2019s natural to have a lot of questions right now. COVID-19 has quickly changed the way we think about health and go about our daily lives. And though we still have a lot to learn about the novel coronavirus, there are also a lot of ways we can keep ourselves, our families, and our communities strong and healthy.\nI recently hosted a webinar, along with the doctors at The UltraWellness Center, to answer some of the most important questions about COVID-19.\xa0If you missed it, I am sharing it here as a special episode of my podcast, The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy.\nElizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices functional medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA.

She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.

He worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility where he served as the Outpatient Department Coordinator.\xa0In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA.

He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health \u2013 a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine.
