Megan Weigel, DNP, APRN believes in the importance of attuning to the needs of the mind, body, and spirit to realize health and healing.
Healing is always possible, even when curing is not. It is an inner process that allows recovery of purpose, satisfaction, joy, connection… the things that make one whole. These are the principles upon which First Coast Integrative Medicine was built. While First Coast Integrative Medicine has closed for medical/nursing services, Dr. Megan Weigel, nurse practitioner, continues to provide integrative neurological care in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Acupressure, Neuro Emotional Technique, and Heart Math biofeedback are still a part of her practice.
First Coast Integrative Medicine is now your resource for whole health. Megan believes in taking care about what you allow into you mind, body and spirit. This means bringing mindfulness into your thoughts, your emotions, and what you put on and in your body. On this site, you will find recommendations to cleanse, balance, and build your physical body; nourish your spirit; and mind your mind using methods that Megan has used and recommended for years. As she says in her bestselling book, “Monday Mantras with Megan,” we all have a cup of life to handle, and it’s at risk for overflow. Some of it we can’t control, but much of it we can by what we let in our minds and hearts and what we put in and on our bodies.
Need help finding an integrative or functional medicine provider in your area? Megan recommends the following search engines: Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (providers have either completed a fellowship in integrative medicine or a coaching certification); The Institute for Functional Medicine.
Weigel has a passion for educating the public about lifestyle and integrative medicine, and the safe use of holistic therapies for neurological conditions and symptoms. Her main area of interest is Multiple Sclerosis. You can find regular updates on these and other whole health topics in the Blog. Her bestselling book, “Monday Mantras with Megan,” offers an approachable and lighthearted introduction to mindfulness, and is available on Amazon.
