58 分钟And a doctor saying, well, there's no science behind it.
And you say, I'm not going crazy.
I put needles in that person and their headaches have gone, or I took gluten out of their diet and they feel better.
Why should I be waiting for science to prove something that I'm seeing all the time?
So if you tuned in recently, you have heard me talking about how I did a seven day fast.
And you may remember me mentioning somebody who I consulted with sort of helped set that up.
And his name is Doctor Frank Lippmann.
He is a friend of mine and also a physician who is trained in both eastern and western medicine with a really unique lens on what it means and takes to be healthy.
We have recorded a prior podcast that goes deep into his fascinating story.
Growing up in South Africa, being trained in medicine, working in Soweto, coming to the Bronx, the South Bronx in New York City, at a time where that was not a very safe or fun place to be.
I asked him to come back because he has a new book out now called how to be well, where he takes a bit of a contrarian view on what it actually takes.
Now, there's some stuff that we sort of all know, but there's some kind of different provocative ideas.
I also was fascinated by his concept of putting together the six different pillars of health or well being in sort of the structure of a mandala, which is this ancient format for organizing sacred wisdom.
And I wanted to talk with him about that as well.
Hope you enjoy this conversation.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
So for those joining us, we sitting across from a friend and somebody who I trust, you know, in health, medical wellness world, doctor Frank Lippmann.
And we have a prior podcast that we will link to in our show notes.
Kind of gone deep into your backstory, your journey.
Being raised in kind of an activist family in South America, being trained as a physician there, South Africa, sorry, very different.
