Hello 

I have just uploaded my latest HealthQuestPodcast.

Dr. Sinatra was a man with profound intellect and understanding.

It was my pleasure to interview Dr. Sinatra 4 times.

STEPHEN SINATRA OBITUARY

“On June 19th, Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.N., C.N.S., C.B.T. peacefully departed this world after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. For 75 years, he lived fully and with tremendous purpose, intellectual curiosity, humility, and spirituality. He was a generous soul with a huge heart, who dedicated his life to protecting and healing the hearts of others. As a cardiologist, educator and author, Dr. Sinatra touched the lives of countless people with his compassionate care, advice and optimism. His open-mindedness, “aha-moment” insights and genuine desire to heal people were “the perfect trifecta” that made him a trailblazer in the field of integrative medicine.

Born in New York City to Elizabeth Patricia Kelly and Salvatore Charles Sinatra, Dr. Sinatra grew up loving family, food, dancing, animals, sports, and horseracing. Witnessing his mother’s heartbreaking struggles with type-1 diabetes and blindness inspired him to pursue a career as a healer. He attended Franklin and Marshall College pre-med on an athletic scholarship, competing as a division-1 wrestler.

After graduating Albany Medical School, he started his cardiology career at Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut, where he went on to serve as Chief of Cardiology, Director of Medical Education, Director of Echocardiography, and Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation. Once a warrior on the wrestling mat, Dr. Sinatra found himself a “midnight warrior” in the emergency room during his early years as a doctor. He soon realized that conventional treatments weren’t enough to keep cardiac patients from returning to the ER, and dove into research and educational programs on nutrition, mind-body medicine, and numerous other alternative therapies.

A true integrative cardiology pioneer, his medicinal protocol soon combined the very best conventional and alternative practices – including clean, phytonutrient-packed foods and psychotherapy. As a bioenergetic psychotherapist, Dr. Sinatra was also able to treat his patients “from the neck up.” He saw the doctor-patient relationship as a partnership where both parties actively participated in patients’ healing, and he treated patients as if they were family members, even attending their weddings and funerals.

Dr. Sinatra believed in perceiving illness as an opportunity to make positive changes in life. No matter how dire the circumstances, he always fostered hope for healing. One of his gifts as a physician was viewing his patients as his greatest teachers. He believed that God’s messengers could be anywhere. He also loved pets and saw animals as powerful healers, especially dogs and horses. To become the best doctor he could, Dr. Sinatra was fiercely committed to continual self-education. Through intensive research, writing and clinical practice, he became a leading expert on metabolic cardiology – the use of targeted nutritional supplements like coenzyme Q10 to improve energy production in the heart and ultimately quality of life.
