I'm Not Yelling! I'm Dominican: First-Generation Caribbeanites Navigating Life

Join us as we explore the holistic tapestry of health with Dr. Courtney Witherspoon, who deepens our understanding of the connection between emotional wellness and physical health through the lens of Eastern medicine. In this thought-provoking conversation, we discuss how Eastern medicine focuses on identifying the root causes of illness, the undeniable link between unresolved emotional issues and chronic conditions like cancer, and the pivotal role of nutrition in maintaining a strong immune system.
Health is multifaceted, and so should be your approach to maintaining it. From the food on your plate to the air you breathe, we also examine the environmental factors that impact health and practical strategies to protect yourself. We share personal healthcare stories that highlight gaps in Western medicine, particularly in preventative care, and emphasize the importance of personalized healthcare plans.
Additionally, we explore how practices like Qi Gong can support the body’s natural recovery processes. Tune in for a wealth of knowledge that will inspire you to make enriching lifestyle changes and prioritize your well-being with the same dedication as any other aspect of your life.
