Hosted and Produced by J’aime Rothbard Imagine a world where healing goes beyond treating symptoms; a world where healthcare practitioners address the root causes of their patients' issues. Dr Aisling Quiery’s story brings this vision to life, as she shares her views on shifting the paradigms of patient and healthcare provider well-being, to: - Bridge the gap between traditional medicine and holistic healing. - Recognize that our minds and bodies are intricately connected - Uncover hidden links between our past experiences and present health challenges - Address complex mental and physical issues as interconnected parts of a whole - Move beyond symptom management to true healing - Reduce unnecessary tests and investigations - Create more fulfilling experiences for everyone involved By recognizing the profound impact of childhood adversity and trauma on our physical and mental well-being, Aisling opened up a world of possibility that goes beyond treating illness to nurturing wellness from the inside out.  By questioning the limitations of the current medical model and exploring holistic healing, Aisling discovered a more fulfilling and effective way to practice medicine. She invites frustrated healthcare practitioners experiencing burnout to learn to regulate their own nervous systems, as this can lead to both enhanced patient outcomes and a renewed sense of purpose. She stresses that it’s not about adding to an already overwhelming workload, but rediscovering the essence of healing; doing less while achieving more, and creating a more efficient and effective healthcare system for all. Listen in to learn more about the future Aisling envisions, where every individual is seen as a whole person, and the power of the mind-body connection is harnessed to transform lives… an approach that will not only reduce healthcare burdens, but pave the way for a healthier, more empowered society.
