Interview with Ruediger Dahlke, MD on Psychosomatic Medicine, Veganism and Illness as a Tool for Transformation

This week on "Rebel Hearts": Kristie talks with Dr Ruediger Dahlke, physician, psychotherapist, speaker and author of more than 60 books on psychosomatic medicine, veganism and mindful living. Dr Dahlke has been one of the leading proponents of the idea that disease is an opportunity to become more conscious, and he trains people all around the world in his revolutionary theories and practices. In this interview we discuss the interconnectedness of illness and our emotions. What if we saw every illness as a chance to transform our life? What if we saw illness as a way of your body sending us a message? And what if we started listening to these messages? Western medicine has been looking at illness from the physical point of view only, but psychosomatic medicine teaches us differently. Dr Dahlke discusses how in his findings he realized that we need to look at the patient's environment and start including the emotional component in order to create lasting health. Learn how we can see every illness as a wake up call and thus as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Learn how to look at what the symptoms are showing you, and then use that knowledge to create change in your life. No matter if it is high blood pressure, heart disease or cancer, every illness has a meaning that needs to be looked at, expressed and transformed. We will also be talking about the impact that meat has on our psyche. Humans and the animals they eat have the same neurotransmitters and hormones. Find out about the connection between anxiety, depression, even panic attacks and meat, and how a plant based diet has the ability to elevate and change our consciousness and therefore change the world. Our body, mind, spirit and soul are connected. Our body is the mirror of our soul and every illness is the soul's call asking you to listen!
