What's the most important part
of your health?
00:00:16
What do you think?
00:00:18
Is it eating a balanced,
mostly plant-based diet,
00:00:25
balancing your hormones, daily exercise,
getting enough sleep --
00:00:31
What do you guys think?
00:00:33
Taking your vitamins,
seeing your doctor for regular check ups?
00:00:40
These things might all seem
like important, even critical, factors
00:00:45
to living a healthy life,
but what if I told you
00:00:50
that caring for your body was
the least important part of your health?
00:00:55
What do you think?
00:00:58
I'm a physician,
so if you'd told me that five years ago,
00:01:01
that would have been total sacrilege.
00:01:03
I mean, I spent 12 years training,
00:01:07
because the body is supposed to be
the foundation for everything in life.
00:01:12
But what if I told you that the medical
profession had it all backwards,
00:01:17
if the body doesn't shape
how we live our lives?
00:01:23
What if the body is actually
a mirror of how we live our lives?
00:01:29
Think about it for a minute.
Think about a time in your life
00:01:32
where you weren't living the life
you were supposed to be living.
00:01:37
Maybe you were in the wrong relationship;
00:01:40
or you were in
some hostile work environment
00:01:42
doing what you thought you should do;
00:01:45
or you were creatively thwarted,
you felt spiritually disconnected.
00:01:51
And what if you started getting
little inklings from the body,
00:01:54
little physical symptoms?
00:01:57
You know, the body's trying to tell you
something and you ignore it,
00:02:00
'cause you're supposed to do
what you're doing.
00:02:03
And then the body totally decompensates.
00:02:05
Can you think about a time in your life
where something like that has happened?
00:02:08
Yeah, I see a lot of noddings.
00:02:11
Yeah, me too.
Same thing happened to me.
00:02:14
So this is what the body does,
the body is brilliant this way,
00:02:18
the body speaks to us in whispers.
00:02:20
And if we ignore the whispers of the body,
the body starts to yell.
00:02:25
Millions of people in this country
are ignoring the whispers of the body.
00:02:30
We are suffering from an epidemic
00:02:33
that modern medicine
has no idea what to do with.
00:02:36
People suffering from
this epidemic are fatigued,
00:02:40
they're anxious and depressed,
they toss and turn at night,
00:02:47
they've lost their libido.
00:02:50
They suffer from
a whole variety of aches and pains,
00:02:57
so they go to the doctor,
'cause something is wrong.
00:03:00
And the doctor
runs a whole battery of tests,
00:03:05
and the tests all come back normal,
so the patient gets diagnosed as "well".
00:03:09
Only the patient does not feel well.
00:03:12
So she goes to another doctor and
she starts the whole process over again,
00:03:15
because something is clearly wrong.
00:03:17
And it is wrong,
it's just not what she thinks.
00:03:23
I used to work in
a really busy managed care practice,
