This weekend, the FT's Claire Bushey asks a question that sounds poetic but is actually entirely unsentimental: how much is my life worth? In 2021, Claire learned she had breast cancer. The cost of her treatment points us to how, exactly, the US healthcare system is broken. Then, Lilah takes on Prince Harry's autobiography Spare with chief features writer Henry Mance.

In this episode, Élaina interviews Danielle Spencer, the author of “Metagnosis: Revelatory Narratives of Health and Identity”. Danielle explains what she means by “narrative medicine” and what the COVID-19 pandemic and the genre of physician memoirs can tell us about what still needs to happen before we can achieve more holistic healthcare.

In this episode, I talk to Desiree Lotz, who has been helping people to look after their bodies for over 40 years. Despite having her own supplement, Desiree is a firm believer in eating good quality food as a first point of call. She grew up eating what she describes as real food and worries about the ultra processed diet many of us are now eating. Desiree calls this poison, not food! Click HERE for the full shownotes

Cleoh går denne gang på jagt i skønlitteraturens verden: I mine teenageår læste jeg Søren Kierkegaard og Milan Kundera. Især Kunderas 'Tilværelsens ulidelige lethed' gav inspiration og luft til at bryde ud af hverdagens tomme trommerum. Jeg slog op med min kæreste, flyttede væk, for mig selv, og gik på opdagelse på egne ben. Modet til at våge ud på en dannelsesrejse gennem elskere, et lille værelse i København og højskole, inden turen gik til Vietnam og USA senere. Det hele startede med en bog. Derfor har jeg inviteret Elena Leah, psykolog og Cecilie Larsen, litterat i terapilokalet. De fortæller ærligt om de terapeutiske oplevelser de har haft med at læse bøger - når ensomheden og sorgen rammer. Når man vil blive klogere på sit kvindeliv. Når man vil drømme sig væk til en anden verden. De fortæller om 'Litterære Terapisaloner'. En slags ærlige møder med bøgerne som ramme for nærværende, forandrende samtaler. Hverken gruppeterapi eller læseklub. De fortæller om, bøgerne har ændret kursisternes liv på store og små områder. De leverer fortællinger fra det virkelige liv - og bøgernes.

What is “green medicine”? Tune in this week as the incredible Nick Polizzi shares his knowledge on herbal remedies. Nick shares his wounded healer story and then we dive into the history of herbalism, some of Nick’s go-to herbs for calming the mind chatter and easing stress, as well as what to expect when visiting an herbalist. And you don’t want to miss his #1 tip for all of us!    * * *   About Nick Polizzi Nick Polizzi has been making documentary films for the past ten years. The titles he has been a part of include Remedy: Ancient Medicines for Modern Illness, The Sacred Science‚ Simply Raw – Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days‚ and The Tapping Solution. His work is guided by a fascination with the healing remedies of civilizations around the world and how they can be used to heal the diseases of today. Nick is driven by a calling to honor, preserve, and protect the ancient knowledge and rituals of our ancestors.   Documentary: Remedy: Ancient Medicines for Modern Illness All about herbs! The green medicines that have been used for thousands of years. And it goes into the specific diseases that they can treat. “I think that people are really surprised to hear that you don’t need to turn to conventional medicine to treat just about any illness. There are all kinds of alternatives that you don’t tend to hear about from your doctor.” ~ Nick It’s a nine-part series. Each episode goes after a specific health condition. It covers anything from autoimmune disorders, depression, stress, all the way to bacterial infections like Lyme Disease, all the way to heart disease, cancer, sexual health, reproductive health, and fertility. Each one of those areas of health, or systems of the body, are covered and then into the specific herbs that can be used to alleviate a lot of the symptoms that are commonly associated with it. You can watch it here at https://lw255.isrefer.com/go/remedy/org/20190523   What led Nick to this path? He’s a “wounded healer”. In his late 20s he began experiencing debilitating ocular migraines. Went to the number one neurologist in Connecticut tried various medications that didn’t help. The last prescription offer was one that would change his mood and emotions. He came to the realization that modern medicine wasn’t going to help. Nick tried EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), acupuncture, acupressure. Finally he determined by exploring with an elimination diet that coffee was a trigger.   Why herbs? Before this documentary he was immersed in Native medicings and Native healings. This led to a fascination of the healing potential in plants and herbs. There’s over 80,000 species of medicinal plants in the Amazon alone, less than 3 percent of them have been studied for their medicinal value. Of those 3 percent, some 15-20 percent of our cancer treatments are synthesized from compounds in those plants. For Nick, herbal medicine is one of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of potential cures out there and he decided to shine a light on them.   History of Herbalism? Herbs will used up until the early 1900s. And was respected on par with surgery or drugs. The Flexner Report came out in 1910 and was funded by the Carnegie Foundation. This made it very hard to practice natural medicine in the United States. Natural medicine schools were closed and only those schools focusing on chemical-based medicine received funding or accredidation.   Plant Can’t Be Patented This makes it difficult to receive funding on research of natural, plant based medicines. Women have been burned at the stake for thousands of years for practicing just basic herbalism because of how effective it is.   Some of Nick’s Go-To Herbs Skullcap & Ashwagandha tincture for taming the mind chatter and easing stress. Reishi mushrooms are a powerful adaptogen. Increases creativity and reduces stress.   Herbalist Approaches They look for root cause and not just mask symptoms. They can spend up to two hours at the first visit to really pinpoint lifestyle and symptoms. Much more intimate experience and helps you get intune with your body and mind.   Nick’s Big Takeaway Be careful about book learning and learning secondhand. It’s a great starting point, but as we’ve been discussing today, experience is going to teach you more than any book could, any podcast could, any documentary could. These are great leaping-off points, let’s call them, so that you can start experiencing things yourself. You can talk about herbs all day long. Until you start ingesting that first herb and experiencing it yourself, you’re not going to fully understand the potential that your body has to heal itself, and also, what you might have been missing in terms of connecting to yourself and the world around you.     Deeper Dive Resources   The Remedy: Ancient Medicine for Modern Illness https://lw255.isrefer.com/go/remedy/org/20190523   Documentary: Sacred Science https://www.thesacredscience.com/author/nicpol3/   BOOK: Sacred Science https://amzn.to/2VD1xS9   BOOK: Sacred Science Cookbook https://amzn.to/2VYee9K   Save the Amazon https://www.savetheamazon.org/rainforeststats.htm   Susan Raven - Raven Crest Botanicals https://ravencrestbotanicals.com/   Ron Teegarden - Dragon Herbs https://www.dragonherbs.com/ron-teeguarden-s-bio

This Fall, I attended a beautiful event with a bunch of leaders from various industries, whose work has common theme of positive social impact. On the first evening, at the “meet and greet” gathering, I had the special opportunity to spend time with Seane Corn (yoga activist superstar and Jersey girl).  In our conversation, she told me that I MUST check out the work of her dear friend, Dr. Melody Moore. Of course, I was intrigued and did some googling. I was immediately inspired by Dr. Moore’s work with girls and women about body image, trauma, self-expression.  She is a brilliant, big hearted, courageous leader. Our conversation is extraordinary - covering topics from body image to leadership to humility and more. Here’s what we get into: How and why she created Embody Love Movement, inspired by teen girls Recovery from eating disorders and body dysmorphia The epidemic of “general not enoughness” 3 big hits that created her not-enoughness (hint: being a girl, body-centered family, being not-straight in a conservative Christian family) How a yoga activism training launched a calling for change A curriculum written on a barf bag on the plane, and how it started an international movement Using our past experiences to build resilience and connection Yoga and meditation created fertile soil for her work Learning humility through launching an organization “without skills” Clawing out of a shame spiral: self-compassion and self-forgiveness “Sneak attacks” of insidious thoughts women have about their bodies Being curious on our spiritual path and where our physical body fits in Women boldly owning their leadership qualities More about Dr. Melody Moore: Melody Moore, Ph.D., RYT is a social entrepreneur, a licensed Clinical Psychologist, yoga teacher, author, and speaker. She is the founder of the Embody Love Movement Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to empower girls and women to celebrate their inner beauty, commit to kindness, and contribute to meaningful change in the world. She has trained 20 trainers and over 500 facilitators to activate the mission of Embody Love Movement across the US, Europe, and Australia. Dr. Moore’s work has been featured in the books Yoga and Body Image (eds. Klein and Guest-Jelly) and Yoga and Eating Disorders: Ancient Healing for Modern Illness (eds. Costin and Kelly) as well as National Geographic Magazine, Yoga Journal, Yoga International, Mantra, Elephant Journal, and Origin Magazine. She created the collegiate BodyImage3D program for Tri-Delta, which is experienced by every sophomore member. She is a National Eating Disorder Association’s advice columnist, an advisor for World Muse, and a faculty member for Off the Mat, Into the World, a social-profit that empowers leaders to become conscious activists. In 2015, she was featured as one of ten “Game Changers” by the Yoga Journal and chosen as one of 100 “Most Influential Global Leaders Empowering Women Worldwide” by EBW2020.
