Dr. Gabor Maté On How Trauma Fuels Disease

The Rich Roll Podcast

CHAPTER

The Toxic Culture of Health

This chapter examines the deep connections between early childhood trauma and the rise of addiction and health issues, arguing that these problems are influenced by a toxic cultural environment rather than just biological factors. It critiques the limited focus of traditional medicine on trauma and emphasizes the importance of understanding emotional and social contexts that affect health outcomes. By exploring how societal values and individual experiences shape well-being, the chapter calls for a holistic approach to healing that acknowledges the interplay between trauma, health, and the broader societal landscape.
