458. What is Functional Medicine? With Lucie Wilk and Mark Walsh
Holistic doctor Lucie Wilk joins me to talk allopathic medicine, functional medicine, the evolutional mismatch, agency, questioning medical authority, lifestyle medicine, Gabor Mate, trauma and medicine, social health, tech, and more. Website: https://momentummedicine.care Lucie Wilk is an author, TEDx speaker, holistic doctor and consultant rheumatologist within the UK’s National Health Service. In her holistic and integrative practice, she uses a combination of functional medicine, herbalism, craniosacral therapy and embodied inquiry to help guide people on their pathway to healing. She studied medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada before qualifying in both Internal Medicine and Rheumatology with the University of British Columbia where she also completed her MFA in creative writing. She worked as a consultant rheumatologist and lupus specialist in Vancouver General Hospital before moving to the UK in 2010 where she has worked in a number of hospital Trusts. Over the years, she has explored the beauty and mystery of the human body through gymnastics, dance, visual art and writing. After struggling through years of hospital medicine, she became deeply disillusioned with the mechanistic allopathic approach which led her back to the body, first through learning energy bodywork and then other forms of embodied trauma therapy. She now understands that true healing can only occur if we answer the body’s call and follow our symptoms to the true source of our dis-ease.

Yoga teacher and bodyworker Jambo joins me to talk Ayaveda, accupuncture, The Boys of Yoga, face reading, Forest Yoga, body dysmorphia, what “feels right”, trauma, yoga bodywork, anatomy, what you can’t say, what we hold in the body, selfies in yoga, yoga in Asia, and more. A fast-paced bromantic thought fest. Websites: jambodragon.com jds.jambodragon.com As a multi-disciplinary practitioner, with experiences of East-Asian medicine styles and a fascination with orthopaedic diagnostics, expect to experience a balanced approach of science and magick with Jambo. Jambo teaches the classical framework of Forrest Yoga and adds his unique approach of kinesiology to enable further understanding of the biomechanics and somatic experiences within the practise of yoga.Arm Balances' as well as 'The Anatomy of Standing Poses for Effective Hip Opening' are what is often seen. Although these workshops sound heavily based on poses, he believes that the foundation for physical and emotional growth walks side by side. The yoga mat is a safe arena to explore the areas we are working towards as well as the places we are afraid to meet. This safe space is deliberately generated so that we can walk with full integration. All of our gifts and the shadows that we need to snuggle up to.
