Understanding Health and Healing from a Woman’s Perspective: Lessons for Men with Dr. Marissa Heisel

In this thought-provoking episode of Mind Over Masculinity, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with holistic healer and visionary Dr. Marissa Heisel to explore health and healing from a woman’s perspective—and why men can learn deeply from it. Dr. Heisel shares how reclaiming inner authority, listening to our bodies, and understanding the invisible burdens women carry can transform both individual and collective well-being. They also discuss how men can show up as true allies, why natural healing modalities are often dismissed, and how to break cycles of burnout and disconnection. This is an essential conversation for men and women who want to create stronger relationships, more empathy, and deeper health awareness.

 

About the Guest:  

Dr. Marissa Heisel is a chiropractor, midwife, holistic healer, and founder of Elemental Healing Arts Life. With over 25 years of experience, she helps women reconnect with their inner wisdom using bioenergetics, essential oils, integrative nutrition, and vibrational medicine. Her work focuses on empowering individuals to reclaim their health through intuition and radical self-responsibility.

Key Takeaways:  

1. You are your own best medicine: Dr. Heisel emphasizes that true healing begins with reclaiming your inner authority instead of outsourcing it entirely to external experts.

2. The cost of ignoring whispers: Both men and women often bypass the early signs of imbalance. By the time symptoms surface loudly, fewer options remain for healing.

3. Invisible burdens women carry: Generational expectations, cultural conditioning, and emotional caregiving roles can create unseen stress for women, impacting their health and relationships.

4. Men as allies, not fixers: Asking empathetic questions, sharing household and emotional responsibilities, and listening without judgment help ease the burdens women carry.

5. Natural healing and openness: Women are historically more connected to natural healing modalities, while men often dismiss them as “too woo-woo.” Building openness can lead to powerful alternatives before invasive interventions are needed.

6. A universal truth: Healing—whether for men or women—starts with rediscovering who we truly are and realigning with that inner knowing.
