Are you frustrated with the medical system when it comes to chronic illness? Perhaps frustrated with the obvious hold industry has over public service institutions? What if you had the power to cultivate a level of safety for your system that helped you feel more well and resilient in today’s world and less reliant on the system in the first place? Today we explore both of these with Dr Olivia Lesslar. Olivia and I discuss: There is a need for more nuance and deeper thinking in medicine today and in what the public takes to be ‘truth,’ whether that be believing something is a silver bullet fix, ‘bad food’, or ‘safe and effective medication’. We ALL need to think more. We look at the path from the research lab to product to clinician and how we can do better in that processWe look at how caring for patients has lost its way, so often reading for symptoms that match up with medication and not seeing the nuance or the opportunities to build a greater independence from needing external medication. We look at the conundrum for many: Complex illness requiring expert clinicians and cost often being prohibitive: Of course the doctors are worth it for all the study and experience they bring, but at the same time, often being a last resort, patients with chronic illness have limited funds. We look at safety signaling in the body and how we can cultivate a mindset of health by looking to the emerging and established evidence in neuro/immune connectionHow can I be less breakable and shakable? Working on that is one of the most powerful health cultivation focuses we can have. A powerFULL episode for all inspired towards a better model of healthcare, and a world with fewer people suffering chronic illness.
