Hosts are the heart of every podcast, and to honor this fact, we’re bringing you special story episodes featuring each host individually. Today’s episode features Dr. DeWitt Wilkerson’s personal story about how he became a leader in the field of integrative health care, and focuses on the question: Why is it important that our health model takes an integrative approach?
Growing up, Dr. Wilkerson was introduced to holistic practices through his mother, who is currently 98 years old. She studied nutrition, starting as a young adult, as a means of keeping herself and her family healthy, implementing juicing, vitamin therapy, exercise, and elimination of sugar into their lifestyle. This model of proactive healthcare has been a big factor in Dr. Wilkerson’s life and career.
The current philosophy of conventional medicine is that genetic predisposition cannot be altered. However, now we are learning that lifestyle choices can make an impact on how these genetic factors play out in our health. An anti-inflammatory lifestyle can in fact reduce insults to our health.
