Make Healthy Look Easy
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you do, you are the possessor of the most impossibly complex “operating system,” the human body, and it possesses you. It functions on many levels: microscopic, thermokinetic, biochemical, stoichiometric, mythological, hormonal, sociological, physiological, macroscopic, psychological, and…electric. All its components interact independently and collectively to give us a mysterious, precious gift, the gift of life. “Know thyself” said the ancient Greeks, and in a series of podcasts, that’s our current mission. You’ll be enlightened, surprised, and motivated as never before. Prepare for an adventure you’ve never taken, traveling into the inner world of “automatic” healthcare that the human body does on its own and reformatting your lifestyle to maximize your well-being, stability, resilience, and happiness.
Let’s Be Friends With Me
Education and communication have always been parallel passions in my four-decades as a physician and healer. They’re ways to integrate my background in psychology, my theatrical personality, and my love of life, transcending the typical role of a doctor and hopefully leading to better health and strengthened self-awareness. We will explore the human body in different ways and learn together. I hope you too will find this fascinating material entertaining, enlightening, and motivating.
Words of Wisdom
“The patient will tell you what’s wrong. You just have to listen long enough.”
—Dr. David Grob, Maimonides Hospital
“The eternal providence has appointed me to watch over the life and health of Thy creatures. May the love for my art actuate me at all times; may neither avarice nor miserliness, nor thirst for glory or for a great reputation engage my mind; for the enemies of truth and philanthropy could easily deceive me and make me forgetful of my lofty aim of doing good to Thy children. May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain.”
- The Oath of Maimondies
“There is no limit at all to the “Science of Life”. So, thou shouldst apply thyself to it with diligence. This is how thou shouldst act. Again thou shouldst learn the skill of practice from another without carping. The entire world is a teacher to the intelligent and the foe to the unintelligent. Hence, knowing this well, thou shouldst listen and act according to the words of instruction of even an unfriendly person, when they are worthy and such as bring fame to you and long life, and are capable of giving you strength and prosperity.”
- The Charaka Shapath
The Ounce of Prevention
I sing the body electric,
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them,
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the soul…
The thin red jellies within you or within me, the bones and the marrow in the bones,
The exquisite realization of health;
O I say these are not the parts and poems of the body only, but of the soul,
O I say now these are the soul!
