🌿 Welcome to Sagacity Search!

Dear Readers,

I'm very excited to welcome you to my new Substack channel, where we'll embark on a journey together to explore the realms of health, healing, and the fascinating intersection between integrative medicine and life. I'm Dr. Stephen M. Dahmer, a physician triple-board certified in family medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. I look forward to sharing my experiences, insights, and perspectives with you.

🌍 A Global Journey of Healing:

My passion for health and healing has taken me on a remarkable journey around the globe. As an early fellow of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, I've spent over two decades exploring the relationships between integrative medicine and health. This journey has brought me close to diverse cultures, allowing me to document their profound uses of plants and other integrative therapies. This global perspective has not only enriched my understanding but has also shaped my approach to medicine.

🌱 Plants, Cannabis, Medicine, and Beyond:

From 2015 to 2024, I served as the Chief Medical Officer of Goodness Growth Holdings/Vireo Health, a physician-founded company dedicated to delivering high-quality cannabis-based medicinal products. My role involved active engagement in clinical trials, and I've written and lectured extensively about the therapeutic potential of plant-based medicines. In my blog, I will continue to delve into the world of plant medicine, exploring its medicinal properties and separating fact from fiction.

💡 Innovation in Primary Care:

As the Founding Physician at Sana Care, I actively explored new and innovative approaches to primary care. That journey involved a thorough examination of cutting-edge methods that prioritize patient well-being. Before that I worked in both Brooklyn and Manhattan for Iora Health. Expect discussions on the future of primary care and the latest developments in academic medicine.

👩‍⚕️ Your Weekly Dose of Health Wisdom:

In this space of sagacity, I'll be posting as often as my time allows to share my experiences, insights, and the latest in health and wellness. Together, we'll cut through the noise of our everyday lives to focus on topics that truly matter. I like the term “real-world”. I use it to differentiate wisdom from information - the main differentiator being that it helps me in my everyday life. From the medicinal properties of plants to the future of healthcare, our discussions will be engaging, informative, and thought-provoking.

Ps. I’m a fan of the underdog. I’m hoping to turn the corner on the popularity of “sagacity”. We definitely need more sagacity in our world.
