Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! I've been grappling a lot with the concept of diagnoses and labels and how they shape our view of what's possible for our future health and wellbeing. While diagnoses can validate our pain and give us a framework to treatment, they can also limit us and create further trauma that can be a set back in our healing. A lot of people can attach themselves to a diagnosis and make themselves sicker with the stress of their prognosis. Some labels are scarier than others and carry more psychological turmoil like autoimmune disorders, cancer, Parkinson's, just to name a few.
Today, Aaron Stiner and I discuss this topic and explore the pros and cons of diagnosing medical conditions, how it can be limiting, why suppression can make symptoms worse down the line, and how even natural treatments like tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract can be masking problems and can hurt more than they help in the long run.
I'm so curious to hear your thoughts on this topic! There is a lot of nuance here and is a topic that needs to be explored more. My hope is to expand your perspective and open up a conversation. Please write to me and let me know what you think of the episode and we will continue this important conversation! [email protected]
