Philosophy  
Dr. Grgula works to incorporate nutrition , food, and exercise programs into her treatment plans. She believes so many conditions that afflict patients are directly related to the food they eat, their  nutrition, and their exercise.  As a member of Slow Food International, and locally in Phoenix,  she promotes the importance of taking the time to prepare meals with healthy ingredients and recipes that have been handed down in families, which in turn, not only promotes health, but  helps to save our food culture. She maintains her health by lifting weights, taking regular spinning classes, and gardening her own  organic fruits and vegetables.  Dr. Grgula’s broad based thorough approach integrates an holistic philosophy to the  healing process. This being said, she strongly encourages an open dialogue between patients' medical doctors and herself.  She  regularly sends progress letters to patients' PCPs and other specialists sharing in her patients' care.
