063: Dr. Cathleen Gerenger: How This Refugee Became a Doctor Who Teaches Patients to Heal Their Bodies From the Inside Out


Listen Later

Today our guest is Dr. Cathleen Gerenger. Cathleen came from a family of 13 children, all of who risked their lives to travel for weeks on a dangerously overcrowded boat. They were fleeing their home in Vietnam from the aftermath of the war and her parents decided to split up the children in small groups to travel just in case the worst would happen—otherwise a sinking boat could lose the whole family at once. So Cathleen, her 19-year-old sister and 14-year-old brother were in the first group to leave. Cathleen was just four years old. They all survived the dangerous journey, made it to a refugee camp in Malaysia, and ultimately to their final destination in New York City. Their family’s story was chronicled in a book called, Weeping Under This Same Moon. Cathleen describes that journey and how it’s affected her family. She also talks about how much later a car accident indirectly caused a turn in her career choice and she became a chiropractor and holistic health practitioner. She’s now on a mission to change the healthcare of America by teaching how to be proactive instead of reactive about our medical care and to allow the body to heal itself from the inside out.
