Understanding the Heart of Health

As we examine the vast medical options to increase our longevity and quality of life, one vital piece remains constant – our relationships. Most of us recognize the heart as the cornerstone of health, yet many overlook its heartwarming connection to the inner meaning of life. If you are puzzled by this, picture the intricate pieces of your body functioning together, each specifically placed to create the supreme version of you.

Similarly, these pieces respond to strong, supportive relationships by bolstering mental well-being and fortifying physical health. Bonding is the essence of human connection. Further, the heart binds our blood relatives through shared ancestry and genetic heritage, making the bonds we form with family members, particularly the nurturing role of mothers, a key piece in shaping our overall wellness.

Symbios encourages you to read more and gain a deeper understanding of family relationships’ biological and emotional dimensions to help you harness their potential to influence your physical health and physiological well-being positively.

Biological inheritance from relatives can impact our health positively and negatively, yet hereditary traits and predispositions are beyond our control. However, genetics does not solely determine health outcomes; broader familial dynamics, shared experiences, and support systems play significant roles. Positive relationships within the family and extended families can contribute to improved health in the following ways:

Emotional Support:A solid family support system is a buffer against life’s adversities, strengthening an individual’s ability to overcome pressure, challenges, and hardships.
Reduced Stress:Caring and loving in relationships create a sense of purpose and enhance self-worth, which can significantly lower stress levels. In turn, this decreases the risk of stress-related health complications such as obesity, hypertension, inflammation, and anxiety disorders
Improved Immunity:Relationships, especially in a close family, can provide a sense of belonging and security, which can bolster the immune system, enhance resistance to infections, and promote overall health.

Relationships can also benefit our psychological well-being with the following:

Enhanced Mood:Positive interactions with family members stimulate the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin and serotonin, fostering a sense of happiness and contentment.
Mental Health Support:In times of emotional turmoil, having a supportive family to lean on can provide invaluable support and aid in coping with concerns such as depression and loneliness.

“Scientists are investigating the biological and behavioral factors that account for the health benefits of connecting with others,” according to a Harvard Health article. “For example, they’ve found that it helps relieve harmful levels of stress, which can adversely affect coronary arteries, gut function, insulin regulation, and the immune system. Another line of research suggests that caring behaviors trigger the release of stress-reducing hormones.”

Healthy Relationships can help the pieces of your life fit and work well together. By giving and accepting support, we can improve our health and live longer and better.

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.

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.

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 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.
