Dr. David Rakel Integrative Medicine Expert Join Jason as he sits down with physician and author of “The Compassionate Connection” David Rakel, MD, to discuss the true healing power of compassion, empathy and mindful listening.

As the founder of the University of Wisconsin’s Integrative Medicine Program, Dr. Rakel has studied the physiological impacts of truly listening to patients, and how a compassionate approach has measurable impact on our immune system and the infection-causing cells our body creates. Though integrative medicine may change the way physicians approach healthcare, the studio of Compassionate Connections give each of the us the power to heal one another, reduce our own stress and have a better understanding of how we are all more alike than we may think.
