In this episode I talk with one of my beloved mentors, Dr. Erica Elliott. Dr Elliott is a nationally celebrated medical doctor, specializing in environmental medicine and family practice. Affectionately known as “the Medical Detective” she diagnoses and treats chronic illness by uncovering and addressing underlying causes.
Dr. Elliott has led a fascinating life including time spent teaching on the Navajo Reservation, serving in the Peace Corp in Ecuador, mountaineering for Outward Bound, and climbing peaks such as Aconcagua in Argentina- the highest mountain in the western hemisphere and Denali in Alaska.
Dr. Elliott is a public speaker, educator, and author. She has spoken at Esalen, Omega Institute, and TedX. She is the co-author of "Prescriptions for a Healthy House and the author of a trilogy of memoirs including Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life among the Navajo People, From Mountains to Medicine: Scaling the Heights in Search of My Calling, and “From Doctor to Healer: The Mountain Lion's Gift.
In this episode we talk about what led her to environmental medicine and the off the beaten path pursuits that informed her approach to life and healing.
