Personal Research & Lifelong Passions
Exploring our rich, worldwide heritage of knowledge and systems of healing.
How has humankind answered the question “What does it mean to be healthy?” How do we get there?
This interest in the intersection of culture, family, biology, body and mind has led me to a deep exploration of the philosophy and techniques of traditional medicines - Chinese, Ayurvedic and that of many Indigenous cultures throughout the world.
Coupled with the great advances in modern medical theory, lab work, and neuroscience in particular, this knowledge is allowing many wonderful approaches to our human ailments to emerge.
Currently, my research, teaching, practice and writing focus on creating the conditions that promote healing with the greatest possible speed and scope.
How do lifestyle, willpower, and beliefs combine to set the stage for supercharged states of recovery, learning, performance, and longterm well-being? So much is possible!
