Episode 3: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences

My name is Dr. Michelle Choi, and I'm an Internal Medicine doctor in Santa Cruz, CA.  I left my medical career in September, 2020, to become a podcaster.  I practiced medicine in the inpatient and outpatient settings for over 10 years, before making the major life decision to leave my traditional career as a doctor.  I do not believe that we're doing enough to get to the underlying causes of what is causing illness.  And the way in which healthcare is structured in our nation, if doctors simply don't have the time to talk with our patients, or if it's much easier to get insurance coverage for a pill for depression rather than counseling, whom are we really helping?  Why not do more than just putting a band-aid on the issue?

After years of frustration, I decided to leave the career I'd worked my whole life for, in search of what may contribute to our feeling whole.  I believe that we all have the capacity to be who we really are, not just a whiff of who we are.  And perhaps by being honest with ourselves, can we unlock the key to our own healing, and find our path to a meaningful life.  Join me on the Lost or Found podcast, as we contemplate the components of true health.  Be your true advocate!  Dare to be inspired!!
