Approaching Chronic Illness with Dr. Butch Levy

Uncover the initiating causes and effects attributed to chronic illness with Dr. Butch Levy, MD, L.Ac. He integrates Western, Chinese and Functional Medicine evaluations, combined with natural therapies for supportive care and treatment. Virtual office visits are currently available via Zoom. “If you experience chronic illness, your time is often occupied with practitioner visits, additional testing and the vast array of supplemental treatments attempting to help reduce or control disabling symptoms,” says Levy. “To achieve success— beyond just symptom relief—requires a recognition that complex diseases are initiated by complex causes. These causes, Butch Levy left unchecked, cascade into unwanted consequences on the immune, hormonal, detoxification, energy and metabolic systems. I recognize from my four decades of clinical practice, that no one paradigm can resolve these multifactorial causes and effects. The greatest opportunity for improvement requires a combination of healing traditions.”

Levy’s goal is twofold: pinpoint these multiple disease instigators and their effects, and develop a personalized treatment that offers an integration of Eastern and Western healing to promote recovery.

Grateful Gourmet Girls

In the midst of these unusual and trying times, Susan Fulton and Mary Steiger, the owners of Gourmet Girls Gluten Free Bakery/Bistro, have kept their spirits and business going by practicing the attitude of gratitude on a daily basis. When small business closures were mandated months ago to slow the spread of COVID-19, restaurants were considered essential and allowed to remain open for takeout services. Although some eateries chose to close altogether to protect their guests and employees, the girls decided that their responsibility to provide safe, gluten-free food to the community was a serious commitment and one that they wanted to honor. Thankfully, their core staff of employees agreed and opted to continue baking and serving their many guests. In the early days of the pandemic closures, availability of supplies in the grocery stores became unreliable and gluten-free products were especially scarce, so obtaining trustworthy food became even more important to their patrons, many of whom had compromised health and underlyinag medical conditions. “We are so fortunate to be able to continue operating and serving the gluten-free community,” says Steiger. “Our staff has been wonderful every day, helping out in so many ways above and beyond their job descriptions. We appreciate their awesome attitudes on every shift.”

Fulton adds, “And we are equally grateful for the incredible support of all our loyal guests who are family to us. It means the world to us to put a smile on their faces when we feed them.”

The Thanksgiving season is especially meaningful to the pair this year as they begin preparing their annual favorite pies (pumpkin, pecan and apple) and all their other holiday treats. Special orders may be placed starting November 1; everything but the turkey is available.

The restaurant currently has a limited number of tables available for dine-in, and takeout is available with contactless curbside pickup. They have been awarded the Health Department Ready for You seal of approval.

Location: 5845 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson. Open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. For more information, call 520-408-9000 or visit GourmetGirlsGlutenFree.com. See recipe, page 15. See ad, page 22.

Online Meditations with Self-Realization Fellowship’s Tucson Meditation Group

Steve Jobs read Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi about becoming self-realized and attributed his intuition and success as the founder of Apple to Self-Realization Fellowship’s teachings. Everyone at his memorial received a copy of the book with the message “get realized”. Many successful people in business and many scientists, including Albert Einstein, treasure Autobiography of a Yogi. The timeless scientific methods of yoga meditation taught by Yogananda enable one to rediscover, by direct personal experience, the universal consciousness of God that dwells within.
