Love is Medicine with Razi Berry

In this week’s podcast episode I’m talking with Razi Berry, the founder and publisher of the journal Naturopathic Doctor News & Review, which has been in print since 2005, and the premier consumer-faced website of naturopathic medicine, NaturalPath. 

From a near-death experience as a young girl that healed her failing heart to later overcoming infertility and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia through naturopathic medicine, Razi has lived the mind/body healing paradigm. Her projects uniquely capture the tradition and philosophy of naturopathy: The healing power of nature, the vital life force in every living thing and the undeniable role that science and mind/body medicine have in creating health and overcoming dis-ease.

In this episode, Razi shares how to strengthen your intuition, why it is so vital to understand our own bodies, how disconnection from ourselves can lead to health problems, and how health is a state of constantly listening.  
Listen in to discover some simple things you can do to tune into your body, how to understand the difference between intuition and will, how to help your kids tune in to their own bodies and intuition, and how to nourish their bodies.
She also shares how her “Trifecta” of loss led her to explore how relationships of all kinds affect our health and our actual physiology and start the Love is Medicine Podcast and Docuseries exploring self-healing. You can find out more about this project and register to watch HERE.

“We have lost our way. We have become disconnected from our nature. The things most elemental to us as humans: What to eat, how to move, how to take care of ourselves and the earth have become, hard. Confusing.

We read the books and consult with Google and gurus, but we don’t know how to heal. We outsource our inner wisdom, we don’t listen to our bodies.

How we are loved, how we love each other and how we love and care for ourselves not only impact chronic disease but also resilience, depression and anxiety, sleep issues and performance. Self-care is the true health care!

The naturopathic philosophy honors what is called the Vital Force, that invisible force that guides all living things towards growth, betterment, compassion and healing. It is love. I believe health is our God-given birthright, our natural set point and that we are designed to thrive and heal, and are given everything in nature to do so.

This journey of Love is Medicine will help you get back to who you really are so that through accepting the love around you, though practicing the self-love of self-care and self-accountability, you will heal all areas of your life.”
