54) Hospice & End of Life Care: What Most Doctors Avoid Saying | Dr. Petra Davelaar


Listen Later

End-of-life conversations are heavy — but essential. In this powerful episode, Dr. Gary Shlifer sits down with naturopathic physician Dr Petra Davelaar, ND, to unpack what hospice means, how palliative care works, and why honest planning can bring peace instead of fear.

 

What is the true purpose of hospice care? How does palliative care differ from aggressive treatment? Why advanced care planning matters more than ever How spiritual tools like psychedelics can support end-of-life peace

 

This conversation sheds light on a topic many avoid: how to navigate the final chapter of life with dignity, honesty, and support. With decades of insight, Dr. Gary and Dr. Petra help us rethink how we approach death—as practitioners, as patients, and as families.

💬 Have you talked about your goals of care? It might be the most important conversation you'll ever have.
