In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Erica Elliott, a trailblazing physician, environmental medicine expert, and author. Dr. Elliott shares her remarkable journey from working in conventional medicine to uncovering the hidden dangers of environmental toxins—a realization that changed the course of her career and personal health. After falling severely ill from sick building syndrome, Dr. Elliott discovered the devastating effects of environmental toxins on our health. Through holistic healing, detoxification, and lifestyle changes, she not only reclaimed her health but also became a leading expert in environmental medicine, helping patients worldwide overcome chronic conditions. If you've ever struggled with mysterious health issues, chronic fatigue, or unexplained symptoms, this episode will help you understand the impact of toxins in your environment and what you can do to protect your health.   About Dr. Erica Elliott   Dr. Elliott is a board-certified physician, speaker, and author specializing in environmental and integrative medicine. She is known as the "Medical Detective" for her ability to uncover and treat hidden health issues caused by environmental toxins. She has worked across the globe, from the Navajo Nation to India, and continues to help patients achieve true healing beyond prescription drugs.   Key Takeaways:   ✅ Environmental toxins are silently harming our health—Poor indoor air quality, chemicals in food, and pollution contribute to chronic illness.✅ Sick building syndrome is real—Many modern buildings release harmful chemicals that trigger severe health issues.✅ Healing requires lifestyle changes—Dr. Elliott reversed her own illness through sauna therapy, a clean diet, filtered water, meditation, and nature exposure.✅ Chronic conditions aren't just bad luck—Toxins, poor diet, and stress play a significant role in autoimmune diseases, mental health issues, and hormonal imbalances.✅ Traditional medicine often overlooks root causes—Mainstream healthcare focuses on symptom management, but true healing happens by addressing the environment and lifestyle.   Connect with Dr. Erica Elliott

Yes! I have a returning guest this episode and it is partially because Dr. Erica has more stories to tell (and hooray for us, she gives more detail about that one ceremony where she suddenly could speak and understand Navajo, despite having very little knowledge of that language!) and partially because I want to SHOUT OUT her new book "From Mountains to Medicine, Scaling the Heights In Search Of My Calling." I seriously COULD NOT put this book down...not only does she reveal some harrowing details of the mountains she has summited, but also her struggle to figure out just WHY she is here in this world (a struggle I assume most of us are familiar with!) The book is funny, charming and absolutely worth the read...and I do NOT say that about every book! Please click on the link above to read more about this delightful human being! As well, Dr. Erica shares her struggles after her education in Germany, her travails at Antioch College and that one MIRACLE when her life was spared after her oven blew up (I will let Erica tell that one). Suffice it to say, there is an absolute reason the world needs Dr. Erica, and you'll understand why, after you listen! (It might have to do with her sense of humor, her smarts, and her indefatigable spirit, but what do I know?) To read more about her, click on her website here! Please do rate and review the podcast-it helps others find us! I have so many more fab interviews to share, I can't even tell you how excited I am! Wahoooo! Do check out the YouTube Channel here! Your bit of beauty this week is this Navajo Song, a healing song, just like the one Erica shared, because we all could use a little more healing, don't you think?

Family Medicine doctor and author of “Medicine and Miracles” and “From Mountains to Medicine”, Dr. Erica Elliott, shares the story of her breakdown in her early 20s which, under the guidance of a skilled psychotherapist, lead to finding her true self at this early age. This lead to another breakthrough: Erica found love and forgiveness for her Swiss mom who was a very harsh mother. This changed not only their relationships, but Erica's parents' marriage, the dynamics of the whole family, and even the new generations. Erica shares this inspiring story and other deep lessons she learned both from her mom and by herself. Most importantly: the magic of forgiving, that giving love is more satisfying than receiving love, and that you should never waste a bad experience.

Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life among the Navajo People with Dr. Erica Elliott. Erica was born into a large family with a Swiss mother and an American father. Throughout her childhood, Erica moved with her family from one part of the world to another due to her father's work. She began her schooling in England, graduated from high school in Germany, and then studied art in Florence, Italy, before returning to the States to attend college. The seeds for becoming a medical doctor were first sown when she spent a summer in Switzerland learning from her uncle, an eccentric and brilliant medical doctor. It took many years before those seeds sprouted. Erica came to medicine later than most medical students, after pursuing other careers and interests, including teaching grade school and herding sheep on the Navajo Reservation, mountain climbing in the Andes while serving in the Peace Corps in South America, teaching Outward Bound students wilderness survival in the Rocky Mountains, studying spiritual practices, and traveling abroad. After graduating from University of Colorado Medical School and completing her residency in family practice in Denver, Erica worked in Cuba, New Mexico, where she fulfilled her National Health Service obligation. From there she worked in a number of settings including a clinic for indigent care, a local emergency room, a women's clinic, a multispecialty clinic, and finally, in 1993, Dr. Elliott opened her own private practice in her co-housing community, The Commons, which she help found in the early 1990s. Dr. Elliott's unrelenting curiosity has led her on many eye-opening and heart-opening adventures. The years she spent living in foreign cultures, both as a child and an adult, enabled her to bring a fresh perspective to her life's work. Dr. Elliott specializes in family practice and environmental medicine. Her private medical practice grew rapidly and soon she was treating patients who came to her from other parts of the country, as well as local patients. She has been nicknamed the “Health Detective.” She finds deep meaning and purpose through helping her patients find relief from their suffering. Over the years, Erica has given radio talks, interviews, webinars, workshops at Esalen and Omega Institutes, and a TEDx talk about living in co-housing. She is the co-author of Prescriptions for a Healthy House, and the author of Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life among the Navajo People. Website(s): http://www.ericaelliottmd.com/

https://www.musingsmemoirandmedicine.com/ Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life Among the Navajo People by Erica M. Elliott An intimate look at the mystical world of the Navajo people * Details the author's time living with the Navajo people as a teacher, sheepherder, and doctor and her profound experiences with the people, animals, and spirits * Shows how she learned the Navajo language to bridge the cultural divide * Reveals the miracles she witnessed, including her own miracle when the elders prayed for healing of a tumor on her neck * Shares her fearsome encounters with a mountain lion and a shape-shifting "skin walker" and how she fulfilled a prophecy by returning as a doctor In 1971, Erica Elliott arrived on the Navajo Reservation as a newly minted schoolteacher, knowing nothing about her students or their culture. After a discouraging first week, she almost leaves in despair, unable to communicate with the children or understand cultural cues. But once she starts learning the language, the people begin to trust her, welcoming her into their homes and their hearts. As she is drawn into the mystical world of Navajo life, she has a series of profound experiences with the people, animals, and spirits of Canyon de Chelly that change her life forever. In this compelling memoir, the author details her time living with the Navajo, the Din? people, and her experiences with their enchanting land, healing ceremonies, and rich traditions. She shares how her love for her students transformed her life as well as the lives of the children. She reveals the miracles she witnessed during this time, including her own miracle when the elders prayed for healing of a tumor on her neck. She survives fearsome encounters with a mountain lion and a shape-shifting "skin walker." She learns how to herd sheep, make fry bread, and weave traditional rugs, experiencing for herself the life of a traditional Navajo woman. Fulfilling a Navajo grandmother's prophecy, the author returns years later to serve the Navajo people as a medical doctor in an underfunded clinic, delivering numerous babies and treating sick people day and night. She also reveals how, when a medicine man offers to thank her with a ceremony, more miracles unfold. Sharing her life-changing deep dive into Navajo culture, Erica Elliott's inspiring story reveals the transformation possible from immersion in a spiritually rich culture as well as the power of reaching out to others with joy, respect, and an open heart. Read Less Erica takes a break while herding sheep. Red Rock, Arizona. July 1973. Erica Elliott's memoir is about her colorful journey far off the beaten path in pursuit of the true purpose and meaning of her life. Her life begins as an exciting adventure, a general's daughter stationed in Europe, with Swiss roots on her mother's side. She was at home early on in foreign cultures, so returning to the US for college presented its own culture shock. By chance, Erica ended up at a radically experimental college and came face to face with the 1960s in America. Swept away by the times, Erica lost her footing and, in the process found the guide she had always longed for to help her explore her complex inner world. From her awakening and self-understanding came the first seeds of compassion that became one of the hallmarks of her life.
