Welcome everybody to another episode of You're the Cure. Dr. Ben Edwards here. Veritas Medical is our clinic.

Veritas Medical.com, is a website.

We've got a great interview lined up today.

I'm super excited.

As many of you know, when I transitioned

into more of the integrative functional medicine family practitioner

and as opposed to a conventionally trained family practitioner.

When I made the transition, first of all it was a very eye-opening experience to understand that the body can't fix itself.

Most of these chronic diseases have root causes and the root causes are really if you drill down far enough or based in diet and lifestyle

choices that we make and really the four pillars we call them nutrition hydrationration, movement, and peace.

And I've often said, really, it's three pillars

with a foundation, and the foundation is the piece.

If you can eat right, exercise right and hydrate well,

but if you're in fight or flight

mode all day long and stressed then your body's the physiology of the human body

just wasn't designed to function long-term chronically in fight or flight mode.

And that is, in my opinion, we've talked to Dr. Caroline Lee

to give all the science behind how thoughts drive a lot of this fight or flight mode and thoughts that aren't based on the truth.

And so the further we dive and drill down, drill down,

into health, what's real health,

and where's this disease coming from, it really kind of goes

back down to this foundational thing of peace and the lack of peace.
