Turn What Appears Impossible Into I’m Possible

Encouragement from Dr. Stephen Luther

How are you doing today?

Answering this common question truthfully is uncommon, but I encourage you to evaluate your lifestyle. Would your wellness improve with changes in your sleep and eating habits, exercise routine, self-care, or relationships?

Today’s answers and actions will influence your subsequent thought-provoking response: How will you look and feel in five years? Will those few pounds you gain each year lead to metabolic-related diseases? Will you become forgetful because you replaced reading with TV and decreased your brain stimulation?

Most patients agree with my health recommendations for better nutrition and exercise, yet real change is hard because real life has real excuses. In John 5:2-9, we learn of a lame man lying on his mat for 38 years. The Great Physician asked him, “Do you want to be healed?” The sick man gave him a valid excuse, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool.”

Like many of us, he hopes for change but doesn’t believe it will ever happen, so he remains stuck on the mat with good intentions. When his head and heart unite, he understands change is possible and is healed.

This teaching reminds me of times when patients say they want to change, but many reasons, such as time and stress, land them back on the routine mat. First, you must elevate your thinking and believe that you can change; turn what appears impossible into I’m possible by making up your mind to commit to a healthier lifestyle by planning for your best possible tomorrow!

Ben Franklin’s advice, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail,” reveals the importance of wellness goals. Plan seven goals with Kickstart70, and together, we can improve your mental capacity, quality of sleep, physical fitness, personal beautification, spiritual growth, relationships, and nutrition. For example, packing a nutritious lunch rather than eating fast food is one way to treat the root cause of irregular digestion rather than masking concerns with medicine.

To experience change, you must change what you experience! I encourage you to make wellness goals, master new habits with support and repetition, and reap the benefits by maintaining your healthy lifestyle. Register for Kickstart70 by February1, by clicking this link.

Working with Stephanie in pelvic floor physical therapy has been an amazing experience as I had bladder prolapse which improved significantly with therapy. Also other symptoms related to urgency and inability to completely void have also gotten much better. Stephanie is a true professional and has been able to make what could have been an uncomfortable or embarrassing experience feel completely relaxed and normal. She is also able to follow my lead in using humor when it is helpful. She encourages me to do my exercises on my own without preaching. I would recommend Stephanie and this PT for anyone dealing with female related issues. We will also be working on increasing opportunities for more comfortable intimacy with my husband. So everyone is happy.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Luther and Dr. Wright. Both are amazing. I have been a patient of Dr. Luther for years and his bedside manners are like no other. Dr. Wright I have seen for the last couple of months. He listens to your concerns and doesn’t rush you. Your concerns matter to both of them and make you feel at ease after each visit. These two are the best of the best. No one can compare to them.

I had the signature facial at Symbios Medical Spa – it was absolutely wonderful. The aesthetician was outstanding – she has a way of making you feel so relaxed and pampered, while taking great care of your skin. The facilities are clean and everything you’d expect in a medical spa. Knowing that Symbios was launched by Dr. Stephen Luther, I felt certain that there would be a focus on doing the best possible for the patient/patient. I was so impressed that I’ve signed up for additional treatments.

Dr. Luther, you are a man with a long-term vision! This sort of vision is rare. In my 69 years, I have only seen it in my mother, Pastor Owens, and you. It was quite a feat to leave your corporate medical office to form a new practice, incorporating your vision, time, planning, effort, money, and fortitude. You created a great primary care team and added many more services to focus on the whole person, such as the lab, women’s care, physical therapy, spa, and gym. Your steady and faith-filled leadership meets the needs of the entire person, both inside and out. You have the best bedside manner, bar none.

I recently had a yearly wellness visit at this new facility. It is clean and very welcoming inside. The staff folks were great from start to finish. The appointment was right on time as scheduled. Dr. Luther was very nice and attentive to all I had to say. Following up with an appropriate referral as needed. It is really really nice to have the labs done right there. They do a follow-up telehealth visit to review your labs with you which is really reassuring to the patient. The portal also works very smoothly and is easy to use . Can’t say enough good about my visit.
