Médico Integrativo: Cómo Sanar tu Cuerpo Aprendiendo de tus Ancestros #LFDE
Summary
In this episode, Uri Sabat interviews David Duarte, a doctor trained in modern and ancient Unani medicine, to explore the relationship between the body and mind. They discuss the limitations of the mechanistic medical paradigm, arguing instead for a systemic, evolutionary approach that views the body as having millions of years of biological memory. Duarte explains how modern habits, such as excessive sugar consumption and sedentary lifestyles, disrupt the natural "hunter-gatherer" neuroendocrine states, leading to chronic health issues.
