29 - How Our Bodies Respond To Perceived Threats with Dr Olivia Lesslar.
Today Jody speaks with Dr Olivia Lesslar about psychoneuroimmunology and how our brain communicates with the body when it perceives it is under threat.
Olivia breaks down the 8 ancient survival threats and explains that we are now living in a world where humans are constantly being bombarded with messages that tell the brain that our safety is at risk.
Dr Lesslar explains the difference between a disease and a syndrome and how work involves getting the patient to acknowledge that unexplained symptoms are a result of the body trying to protect them.
We discuss the impact food has on our bodies and how our relationship to eating can transform our health.
This is a wonderfully inspiring episode and hopefully this is the beginning of a new approach to integrative health.
