Dr. Clifton K. Meador - Symptoms of Unknown Origin and the Mysteries of "Non-Disease"
Can changes in your psychology create physical symptoms? Is there such a thing as "non-disease"? In this utterly compelling episode, a true medical detective - Dr. Clifton Meador - explains how he came to understand that some symptoms and diseases emerge from the "life narrative" of the patient. If a doctor listens hard enough, the patient will often volunteer the reasons for his or her health struggles. He asserts that all patients should consider their diet, chemical exposures and stress levels, and partner with their doctor in a "medical detective" team in order to uncover the root causes of symptoms and illness.
Dr Meador says:
"I came to fully understand that the mind and the body were one – not separated, not disconnected. What affected one also affected the other. Sitting above all the molecules, tissues, organs, and mind of the human body was an integrated person. This person was connected to a family and perhaps to a spouse, and the family was connected to some social structure and society at large. All this social structure impinged on the person, and the person impinged on the social structure. There was a continuum all the way from society to the person to the organs and even down to the molecules. There were no separated pockets or islands. There certainly was no mind separated from a body. "

Unpacking the "Higher Minded Health Mandala" to help uncover the root cause of symptoms and disease
During my 20 years working with clients one-to-one, I've learned that body and mind can fall out of balance in many ways, creating unpleasant symptoms and even advanced diseases. T
he reasons for symptoms and ill health can differ vastly from one person to the next, which can make things very confusing.
To simplify it all, I created a diagram called The Higher Minded Health Mandala which, on a single PDF or piece of paper, explains all the factors that can influence health on the inside of your body (internal environment), and in your external environment.
This episode is a "high level overview" of the Mandala diagram. I think you'll find it really helpful in unraveling the confusion of what might be creating your symptoms.
Please feel free to download the Higher Minded Health Diagram at https://davehompes.com/highermindedhealth, or request a copy by emailing info@davehompes.com.
All my best,
Dave

How Higher Minded Health came about and how Carlos beat Multiple Sclerosis in a week
Is it possible for chronic diseases to dissolve in a matter of just a few days? Most people would say not but my friend, Carlos' multiple sclerosis did.
In this episode briefly explains Carlos incredible story, but the main theme of this episode is to share with you how Higher Minded Health evolved over the last two decades and how my mind was blown on several occasions by some of my teachers and mentors.
It's an intimate "solo cast" with just me at the mic, but I think you'll find it really helpful and, hopefully, inspiring!
