Latest conversation is live! The Integration of Faith and Medicine in Clinical Practice w/ Dr. Jennifer Suh - Check it out here- https://www.drdeepa-tlc.org/blog/dr-jennifer-suh

For most physicians, the hospital room and the place of worship have always been kept carefully apart. Science belongs in one. Faith belongs in the other. And that boundary has quietly shaped how doctors are trained, how they speak to patients, and what they feel permitted to bring into the room.

But what happens when a physician begins to question that separation?

There are patients whose pain has no clean medical answer. Families carrying wounds that no prescription will touch. Moments in the exam room where the most honest thing a doctor can say is that what this person needs goes beyond what medicine can offer.

For physicians of faith, those moments raise a question that medical school rarely prepares them for: what do you do with what you believe, when the patient in front of you may need exactly that?

To explore that question, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Suh, board-certified pediatrician, fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and ordained pastor. Together, we talk about what it looks like to bring faith into clinical practice honestly and practically, why the fear of being seen as the "crazy doctor" so often lives more in the physician than in the patient, and what she has found when she stopped leaving Jesus outside the door.

Precision care. Personalized guidance. Wherever you are.

Use the cream. Skin calms down. A few weeks pass. The flare comes back.

If that's been your experience with eczema, you're not imagining it, and you're not out of options.

Eczema isn't just a skin condition. It's an immune system response. And when treatment only addresses the surface, whatever is keeping the immune system activated stays active.

A thorough allergy and immunology evaluation looks at the full picture: indoor allergens, gut health, environmental exposures, dietary factors, and immune patterns over time. Not just what's happening on the skin, but why the immune system keeps reacting the way it does.

For a lot of patients, that distinction, between treating the flare and identifying the trigger, changes everything.

If your eczema keeps coming back and nobody has looked for the trigger, the Founding Patient Waitlist is your next step.
