This episode is brought to you by SiPhox Health, LMNT, and Cured Nutrition. Dr. Katie Deming, MD, a radiation oncologist, joins us for a captivating exploration into the realms of consciousness and the afterlife. In this conversation, Dr. Deming challenges the conventional medical viewpoint that consciousness ceases when the brain dies, drawing on compelling evidence from near-death experiences. As we journey through her insights and personal stories, we uncover the possibility that our awareness expands beyond the confines of our physical bodies, especially as we approach the end of life. This episode compels us to rethink our understanding of life, death, and what it means to be truly conscious.
