Three and a half years ago, he was diagnosed with a serious spinal infection and told he might never walk normally again. For nearly a year, he couldn’t walk independently. He spent most of his days in bed, researching everything he could about regeneration, cellular healing and what it might take to recover from an injury doctors considered potentially irreversible. Today, he says he is pain-free and in some of the best shape of his life. In this episode, Dr. Axe joins Dylan for a new episode, following up to their huge first conversation earlier in the year, to unpack what that experience taught him about healing from the inside out, and why the health of your cells, mitochondria and cell membranes may tell you far more than symptoms alone. Dr. Josh Axe is a doctor of natural medicine, clinical nutritionist and New York Times bestselling author who has helped millions of people through his work in food, herbs and lifestyle medicine. He is the founder of Ancient Nutrition, The Health Institute and The Longevity Clinic, and host of The Dr. Josh Axe Show. His new book, Heal Your Cells, co-authored with Dr. Will Cole, explores personalized strategies for cellular health, energy and longevity.
