Imagine you're a young medical doctor surrounded by sick and dying patients when you experience a panic attack due to an overwhelming sense of disillusionment that the Western medical model and its overreliance on pharmaceutical treatments is NOT the way to nurture humans back to good health.
In this episode of Human Cogs, we chat with Dr Michelle Woolhouse, a GP and global expert in integrative mind-body and nutritional medicine, who upholds a philosophy of health that values the whole spectrum of a person's life – emotional, physical, psychological and environmental.
Michelle shares her learnings on the role that cultural reward plays in our current anxiety and stress pandemic; how social media contributes to our empty pursuit of the holy grail of happiness; and why empathy without self-compassion is unsustainable.
The potency of Michelle’s message lies in the combination of her personal experience and holistic medical approach, which she has used to teach countless others how to heal emotionally and physically by attuning to the powerful feedback we each receive from our hearts, minds and gut.
