#120:  Health & Wellness Under Any Circumstances w/ Dr. Du La, ND On this week’s show Gary chats with Dr. Du La, a Toronto-based Naturopathic Doctor registered in Traditional Chinese medicine, where naturopathic care treats the entire person, not just the symptom they are complaining about.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Why it doesn’t take a lot of money to eat well Why Naturopathic doctors believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself When it can’t, they use natural therapies to supplement the immune system Why NDs don’t apply ‘band aid’ solutions, but targeted therapies to get to the root cause Then root cause of many health issues today How meditation can help get rid of ‘monkey brain’ How mindfulness can help keep distracting thoughts away The role of mindset and why it’s 90% important What are Dr. La’s ‘non-negotiables’ How self talk should be conscientious, not perfect How her practice changed during the pandemic, including acupuncture What are the 5 pillars - sleep, movement, nutrition, mindset, community and how they work Traditional Chinese energy meridians What is the ‘blue zone’ and why some people live longer than others And MORE!
