This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey gang, as we all know, there are many problems with our medical system today. I love my doctors, but they tend to be super busy and it can be hard to have in-depth conversations with them. Also, there's the fact that most doctors are trained to focus on treating disease with medicine as opposed to preventing disease and thinking about all the factors that go into why we get sick and how to heal our lifestyle.
In my experience, most doctors really don't have time to go deep on things like sleep, the quality of your relationships, your spiritual life, et cetera, et cetera. That's why integrative medicine is really interesting because it takes into account factors that many doctors may write off as extraneous or just might not have time to get into, but that can be key to preventing and treating illnesses. So today I'm going to talk to an integrative doctor who's got some really impressive credentials and who, as you'll hear, is a font of useful information. Her central thesis is that we all have what she calls the rapid recovery reflex.
In other words, our bodies are brilliant at healing. For example, anytime you get cut, you can watch over the ensuing day or two or three as it heals. It's phenomenal, although many of us take it for granted. Your body is innately wired for self-healing, and there are evidence-based ways to ramp up your ability to heal quickly from everything from colds and flus to musculoskeletal pain to heart conditions to anxiety and beyond. We're going to get into all of that today with Dr.
