Today Jody speaks with Dr Olivia Lesslar about psychoneuroimmunology and how our brain communicates with the body when it perceives it is under threat.
Olivia breaks down the 8 ancient survival threats and explains that we are now living in a world where humans are constantly being bombarded with messages that tell the brain that our safety is at risk.
Dr Lesslar explains the difference between a disease and a syndrome and how work involves getting the patient to acknowledge that unexplained symptoms are a result of the body trying to protect them.
We discuss the impact food has on our bodies and how our relationship to eating can transform our health.
This is a wonderfully inspiring episode and hopefully this is the beginning of a new approach to integrative health.
