I really believe that connection is one of the most vital things about being alive. And I guess the last thing I want people to know is that I'm a gardener. Nice. Yeah. And I'm a gardener because I love growing things and I love things that grow. That's my raison d'etre.
Picture a world where healing isn't just about medicine but about recognizing our innate ability to recover and thrive. In this episode, Valeria Teles sits down with Ed Cohen, an esteemed professor and author who has dedicated his life to understanding the deeper aspects of healing. Ed's journey is nothing short of remarkable, having faced a near-death experience and living with a chronic illness.
These experiences led him to question the conventional reliance on medicine and explore the untapped potential of our natural healing tendencies. Ed is the author of 'On Learning to Heal, or What Medicine Doesn’t Know' and 'A Body Worth Defending: Immunity, Biopolitics, and the Apotheosis of the Modern Body.' His work delves into the profound interconnection between learning and healing, urging us to reimagine our approach to health.
He emphasizes that while medicine can perform miracles, true healing often comes from within and is amplified by our desire and appreciation for the process. In this heartfelt conversation, Ed shares his insights on how imagination and a shift in perspective can play pivotal roles in our healing journeys. He also reflects on the influence of Michel Foucault in his work, advocating for a deeper capacity to love and a more holistic approach to life.
Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition or simply interested in a more profound understanding of healing, this episode offers valuable perspectives that could transform your approach to well-being.
