Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, teacher, and author of Heal—A Nine-Stage Roadmap to Recover Energy, Reverse Chronic Illness, and Claim the Potential of a Vibrant New You. She believes that health and vitality are essential for the highest expression of our human potential and that the bones of healing are in what we think and what to do for ourselves. In her book and in her work she shares the profound lessons she has learned as a person, a physician, and a patient herself. She has integrated those lessons with the science, cultural wisdom, and experiential knowledge gleaned from her extensive work. On the podcast Karyn walks us through the nine stages of a journey toward wholeness which cover deep presence with ourselves, emotional awareness and self-worth as much they include practical nutrition and relaxation guidance. In our full contemporary lives as women we received so much from this wonderful conversation and we know you’ll love listening and learning from Karyn as much we did!
