Matan is an author and podcast host. His latest book is called Gut Rules, A Guide to Self Healing. As a young photojournalist in the Middle East, Matan was suddenly diagnosed with a chronic disease. Determined to overcome his “incurable” condition, he spent the better half of the last decade trying to understand the reason he became sick.

Eventually, to the surprise of his doctors, he was able to completely reverse his condition.

Matan and I discussed:

• What happened when he was diagnosed with a chronic disease 
• His book
• The feeling of shame or embarrassment around abdominal diseases 
• How he cured himself of an "incurable" disease
• What he eats nowadays
• Nature vs Chemicals 
• What water is the best water
• Alternative cures for self-healing 
• What doctors need to learn about communicating with patients

And much more...

My Take:
Health is the most important thing there is. You can be the richest man in the world, but if you are in poor health, all that money has no value.  Take care of yourself - stay active, eat healthily, reduce stress, go outdoors - the list goes on. We only have one body, so do what makes you feel good, and listen to your intuition. People and doctors may tell you things "you must do" - but do what's best for you - everyone is different, and everyone reacts to things differently.
