Since 1992 – when Dr. Patricia Muehsam was invited alongside Deepak Chopra and Larry Dossey to participate in congressionally mandated meetings that led to the formation of the Office of Alternative Medicine by of National Institutes of Health – she has been at the forefront of the evolution and change that has taken place in the medicine industry. A change that has mainstreamed many alternative and complementary medicine practices, and that offers individuals and communities powerful tools for navigating their health and well-being.

Dr. Muehsam founded the Association of American Medical Colleges’ first initiative for curriculum development in alternative and complementary medicine, an effort that laid the groundwork for curriculum change at medical schools throughout the United States. She also started The Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s first curriculum in alternative and complementary medicine. Her research includes the fields of study intention, homeopathy, spiritual and psychic healing phenomena, and the link between consciousness and health.

In 2008, Dr. Muehsam founded Transformational Medicine™, an individualized and whole-person approach to healing, wellness, and living, offering individuals tools and resources for addressing not just health, but all aspects of one’s life. And she is the author of “Beyond Medicine: A Physician’s Revolutionary Prescription for Absolute Health and Finding Inner Peace”

In this episode, we discuss: 

• How she used traditional medical science to learn and research alternative medicine
• What transformational medicine is, and how it differs from other forms of medicine (alternative, functional, western, etc.)
• The fundamental flaw in all forms of medicine
• Why human beings suffer
• The 5 tools for Absolute Health.

While dieting itself might lead to short-term results, it often results in constant weight fluctuations, decreased muscle mass and metabolism, and even an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Toxic diet culture almost unanimously uses fear and shame-based marketing to convince you that you’re fat, unhealthy, and unworthy. This makes diet and exercise feel like a punishment rather than a form of self-love. Instead, we should celebrate food and fitness and choose to fuel ourselves with compassion and gratitude.

In her book, How to Raise an Intuitive Eater: Raising the Next Generation with Food and Body Confidence, Sumner Brooks and her co-author Amee Severson provide a guideline for priming our kids to love themselves and listen to what their bodies tell them. 

Sumner Brooks, MPH, RDN, LD, CEDRD is a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) and certified eating disorder specialist (CEDRD) based in Portland, Oregon who has been working with clients on all levels of the disordered eating spectrum for 15 years. Sumner is a mom and has put her knowledge, intuition, and parenting skills of Intuitive Eating to the test of real life. She is also the founder of an online training platform for weight-inclusive eating disorder professionals geared toward dietitians, called EDRD Pro. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• The fundamental principles of intuitive eating
• Misconceptions about intuitive eating
• How to understand your body’s biofeedback
• The problem with diet culture 
• Why intuitive eating is important for kids 
• How to promote self-awareness and acceptance in ourselves and our children
