    Documentary and discussion explore ways to live a longer, healthier life

    logo_siff5_TBSedona AZ (September 4, 2019) – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Code Blue: Redefining the Practice of Medicine” on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    Dr. Tala Dajani will be in Sedona to present the film and host a Q&A discussion following the screenings.

    Would you change your habits to live a longer, healthier life? “Code Blue: Redefining the Practice of Medicine” provides the prescription to do just that. The solution is simple; the common-sense practice of lifestyle medicine can prevent nearly 80% of chronic diseases.

    Through the lens of filmmaker Marcia Machado, “Code Blue” reveals lapses in the current state of medicine and provides a common-sense solution by featuring the practice of lifestyle medicine to prevent, manage and reverse chronic diseases. The film presents the hurdles to the proposed shift: antiquated curricula in medical schools, confusion in the media, inadequate government policies, and the underlying influences of the pharmaceutical and food industries.

    “Code Blue” follows a passionate physician, Dr. Saray Stancic, as she reflects upon her journey from a multiple sclerosis diagnosis to wellness through her own adoption of lifestyle medicine.  Dr. Stancic introduces us to expert physicians and scientists who are paving the way to make meaningful and necessary change in our healthcare environment, and in turn, empowering audiences to stand up and reclaim control of their health.

    Hey Papi
    Happy Father’s Day Papi!

    How’s it going up there in heaven? It’s Father’s Day here on Earth, and I’m thinking of you—missing you—now that I’m one year older than you were when you passed away. I just want to thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for helping me walk when I couldn’t walk. Thank you for making me strong against all adversity. Thank you for teaching me how to look behind the scenes and see what’s not being shown.
