Michelle is a holistic general practitioner and Ron a holistic dentist. But what does holistic mean?

 

In this episode we explore the 'what is holistic health'. We discuss Hippocrates, the reductionist medical model, mind-body medicine, Descartes and his concept of how in order to understand how things work we need to break them down into their smallest part. We also look at evidence-based medicine versus research-based medicine and what it means to be looking at the person behind the illness not just the illness.

We hope this episode empower's you with information to ultimately be well.
