She developed the YES, AND method, where we listen to the medical recommendation and then find out what else can we do. She says we have think differently about where we are taking our own care in addition to medical interventions.We use the body and treatment of it in the analogy of a tree with dying or sick branches, but instead of just cutting off the branches (the symptoms), we must find out what is happening at the soil level to improve the whole tree.In this episode we delve into many topics: 1.
