The Importance of Mind-Body Practices in Medicine w/Dr. Shelly Sethi & Dr. Bob Harding

Humanity is crying out for energy medicine but it’s not integrated with the current healthcare model. Why is it necessary now more than ever? How can doctors make the connection to food important to their patients? Why is nutrition only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to health? On this episode, I’m joined by husband and wife, Dr. Bob Harding and Dr. Shelly Sethi to talk about the importance and implementation of mind-body practices.

I think we need to start talking about how to protect ourselves: What are the other things we can do to combat exposures? -Dr. Shelly Sethi

 

Three Takeaways

• What we eat is determined by who is influencing our food culture, and unfortunately it’s corporations.
• Social media is front and center of the energy blockage we are seeing in society.
• People get intimidated by meditation because they think they have to quiet their minds for 30 minutes. It’s actually focused awareness.

 

At the start of the show, we talked about why our food culture is so bad, and why it’s so important to be connected to our food. We talked about spirituality and how its absence in conventional media does patients a disservice. We discussed why men need to be more dialed-in spiritually, and how to reduce your levels of contamination in this toxic environment.

We also discussed:

• Why fitness and nutrition are only the “tip of the iceberg” of health
• Meditation practices and how they benefit us
• Whether there is such a thing as non-contaminated food

 

Health is a full-picture practice-- we cannot choose certain parts to focus on while neglecting things like energy and spirituality. There are so many people with issues, and the sick care system just throws pills at them. We’re in an age where things are shifting forward, and we should take care of every part of ourselves. The more optimized we are physically, the more apt we are to be dialed-in spiritually. The conversation should not be about how we prevent contamination-- because it’s inevitable. Let’s focus on how we can adjust our behavior to have balance, and counter the effects of contamination.
