We’re here today to start a conversation about how you treat your body — beyond exercise and eating. In this episode, Dr. Frank Lipman — one of the pioneers behind the idea of integrative medicine and combining eastern and western medicine — helps us get to the bottom of this through his fresh and unique perspective.
When Dr. Lipman first began studying integrative medicine, it wasn’t popular like it is today — in fact, as he put it, he went “from being a quack for so many years to now become a guru…” and hadn’t really changed much of what he was saying. Now, Dr. Frank Lipman is the founder and director of the Eleven Eleven Wellness Center in New York City and teaches at the Integrative School of Nutrition.
Join us as we touch on all sorts of interesting topics, such as; relationships to authority and listening to your internal gut (both figuratively and literally) to determine the right path to take vs. what everyone else is telling you, the key to changing your way of life and heading towards the path of betterment, and Dr. Lipman’s journey through integrative medicine.
