Heal Documentary Filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores on the Mind's Role in Healing - The WellBe Podcast with Adrienne Nolan-Smith (getwellbe)

01/22/19 • 53 min

Writer, director, and producer of the documentary, Heal, Kelly Noonan Gores wants you to know one thing: that humans are designed to heal, and that each of us has the power to help our own bodies and minds to achieve optimal wellness.

But, as with anything in the health and wellness world, things quickly become complicated. There’s the clash between Western medicine and more holistic routes, the complex and often ignored mind-body connection, and the fuzzy understanding of the role that genes and “inevitability” play in all of it. But Gores believes the truth at the center of it remains the same, and she hopes her film will empower everyone who sees it to tap into their innate power and take back control of their health.

We found this interview SO fascinating, listen to learn about the nine common natural things cancer survivors did to heal, how one man healed a terminal illness through laughter, what the placebo effect tells us about the power of the mind over medicine, what our childhood has to do with it all, and so much more.

When A Toxic Drug Reaction to Synthroid is Misdiagnosed as Bipolar: An Interview with Hashimoto's patient Gabriella Campagna - The WellBe Podcast with Adrienne Nolan-Smith (getwellbe)

“I just went into this really low swing of major depression for about nine months. I didn’t have a period for nine months. I gained 30 pounds. I never wanted to see friends. I didn’t see the point in anything.” For a year, Gabriella Campagna struggled with fatigue, joint pain, hair loss, depression, being tired all the time, and always feeling cold, but blamed the symptoms on the stress of post-college life and her dance career. When she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (the most common thyroid disorder in the U.S., affecting 14 million people) in 2009, she was prescribed Synthroid (sometimes misspelled as Synthyroid) and sent on her way. Synthroid is also the most-prescribed brand-name drug in the country. The Synthroid thyroid medication initially helped her feel better, but then she started experiencing anxiety, heart palpitations, and manic behavior. Campagna’s mother intuitively thought it was the drug, but multiple doctors told her it wasn’t related and suggested she see a psychiatrist because the issue may have been bipolar disorder or depression. Campagna lowered her Synthroid dosage, and, again, felt better for a while, but then things got worse. Campagna hit such a low that she thought maybe she did have depression or bipolar, and a psychiatrist offered to prescribe her antidepressants, but her parents resisted. They took her to an endocrinologist, who increased her Synthroid dosage. Within three weeks, she had symptoms of mania. Listen to the rest of this amazing story to hear how Gabriella ended up in a psychiatric facility on antipsychotics, and how she eventually got to the bottom of her issue, recovered her mental health and got on the path to healing her Hashimoto's.

Pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator on Why We Have to Use Eastern and Western Medicine for Kids’ Health Today

Dr. Joel Gator is a conventionally trained pediatrician. One day during his residency, he was faced with a 10-year-old boy with juvenile arthritis. None of the doctors had any idea of the cause, and labeled it simply as idiopathic. But Dr. Gator, noticing that the boy was always snacking on junk food like chips and candy, brought up the possibility that his diet might be connected to the symptoms. “Everybody kind of just laughed it off,” he remembers.

But after the child left the hospital, his family sought out Dr. Gator as a pediatrician, and they immediately began working on dietary changes, eliminating wheat and dairy and reducing sugar. The symptoms went away, and the child never came back to the hospital again. “That, to me, was a light bulb moment,” says Dr. Gator.

Listen to this episode to hear his thoughts on the troubling trends in chronic disease trends in children today, how diet may be connected to a rise in ADHD diagnoses, how to approach vaccines, what really causes autism, how he treats asthma, and why bridging the divide between Eastern and Western medicine is more important in today’s environment than it’s ever been.
