In this transformative episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers welcomes back Dr. Ben Edwards for a deep dive “beyond biology” into what truly drives health and healing. While Dr. Edwards has been at the forefront of the recent measles outbreak in Texas, this conversation moves well past infectious disease and supplements—straight into the foundational pillars of well-being that most medical conversations miss.Dr. Edwards candidly shares personal stories and clinical experiences, revealing why standard treatments, even the best diets, supplements, or protocols, can fall short if you overlook the deepest layers of health: the mind, emotions, and spirit. From curious case studies (like a woman whose sudden diabetes turned out to be rooted in emotional heartbreak) to paradigm-shifting mentorship moments with renowned physicians, Dr. Edwards walks us through his own journey of discovery, where real, lasting healing requires confronting fear, addressing false identities, and reconnecting with the truth of who we are.Conversations on this episode include:- The rise and tapering of the recent Texas measles outbreak (and the surprising role of cod liver oil)- Limitations of the “band-aid” approach—why protocols and supplements alone can never truly heal chronic illness- How emotional wounds, bitterness, and fear can manifest as physical disease- The profound importance of addressing the fourth pillar of health: faith, stress, and the health of the soul- Honest talk about the broken mainstream medical system—and how doctors can reconnect with their calling to truly help patients healWhether you're a patient searching for lasting health, a practitioner rethinking your medical approach, or simply curious about the fascinating world beyond conventional medicine, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Rogers and Dr. Edwards bring wisdom, humility, and practical perspective to a conversation that could change your life—and your health—on the deepest level.Listen in, and discover why healing is about so much more than biology.What did you think of this episode of the podcast?
