Mind-Body Connection: Medical Panel on Healing, Safety, and the Root of Physical Symptoms
I recently had the privilege of joining a powerful conversation on the Hoffman Process Podcast alongside host Sadie, Dr. David Hanscom, and Dr. Kash Trivedi. This episode digs deep into the core philosophy that drives my practice at Whole Woman Health: you cannot separate emotional health from physical health.
In the clinic, I spend so much time "connecting the dots" between symptoms—the fatigue, the hormone imbalance, the gut discomfort—and the underlying patterns of stress, trauma, and a pervasive lack of inner safety. It's easy to look outward for a pill or a perfect diet, but as I discuss in this episode, healing requires finding safety within. It is on us to take responsibility for that inner experience, and I believe this mindset is the foundational work of true wellness.
We covered what it means to practice medicine with compassion and awareness, moving beyond simple symptom treatment toward true, holistic healing. Whether you are a fellow healthcare professional or simply a woman on her own wellness journey, I hope this conversation empowers you to look deeper at your own nervous system and emotional landscape as you pursue wholeness.
