How to Build Physical & Psychological Resilience

Описание: Is health simply the absence of disease, or is it something more?

In this episode of the New Medicine podcast, Dr. Richard Nahas explores the true definition of health through the lens of resilience—our ability to ""bounce back"" from life’s inevitable shocks. We dive into the inspiring (and often tragic) history of Dr. Charles Drew, the pioneer of blood plasma preservation, whose life offers a profound lesson in resilience despite systemic oppression.

In this video, you will learn:
1. The Legacy of Dr. Charles Drew: How the ""Father of Blood Banking"" saved the UK during WWII and navigated the medical racism of the 1940s.
2. Psychological Resilience: Why your mindset is the most modifiable factor in your health and how it directly influences your immune system.
3. The Power of Ashwagandha: A deep dive into this Ayurvedic adaptogen, how to use standardized extracts (like KSM-66), and why it takes 4-6 weeks to see results.
4. The ""Blockage"" Hypothesis: Can a simple blood draw (venipuncture) leave a ""scar"" on your nervous system? We discuss how minor injuries can trigger the sympathetic nervous system and impact long-term well-being.
