Written by Integrative Nutrition | Jun 8, 2024 4:00:00 AM

The benefits of meditation have long been established, but remember when it was a thing mostly associated with hippies, yogis, and monks? Those days are long gone, and now everyone from Wall Street bankers to computer programmers are saying �om.�

We had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Jamie Zimmerman that meditation might be exactly what the world needs. Dr. Zimmerman was a physician who practiced what she called �meditation medicine,� and helped her clients reap the many physical, mental, and emotional benefits of meditation. As she said in our interview together, it's no mistake that the words �meditation� and �medication� sound so similar!

Watch our interview to hear Dr. Zimmerman explain why meditation is so healthy and and how you can start a daily meditation practice. Watch below to get inspired!


Have you benefited from meditation? What differences did you notice? Do you have any tips for sticking with a meditation practice? We�d love to hear � share your experience in the comments below!


Editor's Note: We were extremely saddened to learn of Dr. Zimmerman's passing a few months after this interview. Through her story and teachings we celebrate her life and know her memory will live on.
