If you’ve ever gone to your doctor for pain or discomfort, did they ask you about the pain or trauma you’ve experienced in your life? Western medicine often separates the mind from the body, but in reality, the two are deeply connected.
From a young age, many of us face hardships we don’t fully recognize, shaping the lens through which we see the world. Adversity is a part of the collective human experience, but when left unresolved, it can lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices that directly impact our physical well-being.
Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Gabor Maté about the link between trauma, addiction, and chronic illness. They also discuss how profit-driven culture targets our insecurities and the crisis of separation, disconnection, and loneliness we currently face as a society. Most importantly, they discuss the first steps we can take toward health and healing.
