Episode 3: Nutrition as Information, Not Identity
Jan 10, 2026Nutrition is more than fuel. It carries memory, culture, comfort... and sometimes fear.
In this episode, I offer a gentle reframe: nutrition is information, not identity.

Dec 27, 2025Note: Recorded in a hospital setting. My voice is softer and a bit coarser today, with light background ambience.
When dairy changes and your body reacts with bloating, congestion, brain fog, or heaviness… it isn’t punishment. It’s information. In this short, gentle reflection, we practice listening to signals without judgment, fear, or shame. Instead, we practice responding with trust in the innate wisdom within... choosing steadiness instead of force or betrayal.

Dec 13, 2025In Episode 1, we begin the real work of Silent Medicine: learning to listen to the body as a source of wisdom, not just a problem to fix. I explore how symptoms, fatigue, and “strange” sensations can be messages rather than failures, and what it means to relate to your body with curiosity instead of frustration.
We talk about the difference between chasing diagnoses and gently asking, “What is my system trying to say?” You’ll also hear some of my reflections from my own healing path and why nervous-system safety is the ground everything else needs.

Dec 12, 2025In this opening episode, I share what “Silent Medicine” really means and why I created this space. I talk about my own journey as a clinical psychologist and integrative medicine healer, and how my sensitive system led me to question the loud, fixing, productivity-driven way we often approach health.
You’ll hear about the core belief behind Silent Medicine that you are not broken, and your body has been trying to heal you all along... and the principles that guide everything we’ll explore together here. This episode is an invitation, not a prescription.
