For many years, we have learned to think about health primarily through the lens of disease. A symptom appears. We run a test. We receive a result. We look for a diagnosis, and then for a solution. Of...

Is Western medicine not working for you? Do you feel disempowered by your doctors, helplessly being sent to test after test, scan after scan? Are you being prescribed pharmaceutical drugs with...

Some of medicine's most remarkable ideas begin with a simple question. If the aim is to repair cartilage, why not begin with cartilage itself? Across the world, people living with pain and cartilage...

Communication is not simply a skill you use well or poorly. It is the mechanism through which our core relational needs get met, or go unmet, every day, at home and at work. In 2014, trauma researcher...

Bloomberg recently reported on the increase in workers taking mental health leave and the difficulties employers are experiencing as a result. It's an important conversation, but I think we're starting it...

Silent yoga puts your voice and your music directly into each student's ears, so cues land clearly and the outside world falls away. If you teach yoga or movement, you already know the hidden opponent...

Perimenopause can begin before women realize, sometimes first appearing as exhaustion that rest no longer seems to resolve. Or increased anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, irritability, or a growing...

Lately, I have found myself returning to an unusual image. Perhaps it comes from conversations with patients, perhaps from reading too much news, or simply from living through these curious times.

Most of us meet trauma on two fronts. There is our mind, the memories that replay, the stories we tell ourselves, and the beliefs that subtly wire in. There is our body, a nervous system that learns to be on...
