The Archetypal Wound of Shame, It's Antidote and the Immune System with Dr. Mario Martinez
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Mario Martinez, best-selling author of The Mind-Body Code, and one of the greatest health trailblazers of our time, about the cultural and emotional determinants of physical health.... psychoneuroimmunology.
Dr. Mario uses anthropology and neuroscience to add to the conversation about keeping the brain, nervous system, and immune system healthy. We discussed how shame impacts the body, what it does to the immune system, and how and why it specifically targets women.
We talk about some other fascinating things such as:
The surprising characteristics people living to 100+ years old share
Why you really need to be better about accepting a compliment
How "narcissism" becomes a health behavior when it's inclusive
The way cultural traumas show up in our cells generations later
The ways all members of a tribe are culturally wounded, and what determines whether they thrive or self-destruct
The mental health explanations of the real problem with the pandemic…pandemic panic…and how it harms the immune system
Why boosters are a terrible health strategy for a long-term healthy thriving immune system, but a great strategy for pharmaceutical profits
How to heal from the three main cultural wounds: shame, abandonment, and betrayal... all by yourself, and by enlisting "co-authors" of your healing field.
