Exploring Health Models: How Your Beliefs Shape Your Perspective on Healing


Listen Later

Sophie and Katie explore the concept of personal health philosophies and the three main paradigms that shape how we relate to symptoms, healing, and the body: the conventional (allopathic), alternative, and biological (or vitalistic) models. 

They discuss how most of us unconsciously operate within a health model inherited from culture or family. 

The conversation contrasts the reductionist nature of conventional medicine with the holistic aims of alternative approaches, while also pointing out that even "natural" methods can still be fear-driven or externally focused. 

They introduce the biological model, including concepts from German New Medicine, as a framework where symptoms are not malfunctions, but meaningful processes within the body’s self-healing intelligence. 

The episode invites listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and move toward a more empowered, trust-based relationship with health.
