So had you come to me,
Not had you come to me when I was out of medical school, because I wouldn't have known anything about this.
Nobody teaches you this stuff.
But if you had come to me more recently, I would have asked you, well, Luis, what is your body saying no to that you're not saying no to?
And that happens in two major areas, relationships and work.
Interesting.
And so the body sends us signals.
We can learn from it.
And now the problem is that you go to the average physician.
They're just going to try and collude with you to try and get rid of the symptom.
Not by the root.
Which is, that's okay.
I mean, you don't want to sit there with a rash.
It's fine.
But also, let's look at the source of it.
Yes.
And the source is always assumed to be something physical.
Maybe they'll think of food.
Maybe they'll think of some toxin.
They will not think of your emotions, even though the mind and body are inseparable.
