E042: Our Dis-ease Is Not A Death Sentence Don't Wait For Your Wake Up Call!

Dr. Tom and I discuss how the way he practices medicine has changed since his med school days, it’s no longer about giving someone a diagnosis with doomsday messaging or relying just on a pill, it is more than that and revolves around the idea of metabolic flexibility. The ability for the body to cope with stresses and recover, to enjoy relaxation, and then be able to move back into a stress state, it all about a body in balance, a body that has flexibility, rather than being stuck in one state of high stress or low metabolic rate. We are now realizing that the body is amazing at healing itself, given the right environment and people can heal from chronic illness and auto-immune diseases even if you’ve been told otherwise! Looking at the whole body, using food as medicine, practicing self-care, and addressing other lifestyle factors such as sleep and stress, the body truly heals and there is always hope. Dr. Tom loves to say “let the body finish the job”.
