🪐 The Role of Emotions and Authenticity: Maté emphasises the biological need for belonging and the equally vital need for authenticity, highlighting the dire health consequences of suppressing emotions.

🪐 The Impact of Gender Roles on Health: Maté explores how societal expectations, particularly for women, can lead to emotional repression and increased risk of autoimmune diseases and other health issues.

🪐 Navigating Relationships and Personal Growth: Maté shares how his marriage has been a powerful arena for his own personal and spiritual development, driven by his wife's insistence on truth and authenticity.

🪐 Balancing Work and Personal Life: Maté discusses the challenge of maintaining a healthy balance between his public persona and his personal life and the importance of setting boundaries to prioritise his well-being.
