In this episode, Matt Landsiedel interviews Ed Cohen about the science of healing. Ed shares a holistic perspective on healing and how we can begin to reclaim our authority over our health from systems that can easily fail us if we become too passive. We explore how the mind and body are intrinsically connected when it comes to health and healing, and that it is important to search for deeper meaning when our body is expressing illness in any form. If you are someone who suffers from chronic illness, this episode will definitely shine a fresh perspective on healing for you.
The concepts we explored in this episode are:
What does it mean to heal
Curing vs. healing
How our culture places so much emphasis on external healing and asks us to give away our authority to professionals
The ways in which modern medicine is failing us
Psychosomatics: how the mental and emotional impact the physical body
