I catch up with Preventative Medicine Pioneer - Dr. Russell Jaffe or Dr. J as he's more affectionately known.
We cover a range of topics such as:
- Thriving in the 21st century
- Green Light Meditation - https://youtu.be/lw3d5zXMSRs
- What we've missed about Inflammation - https://youtu.be/pAMnrP-BXKk
- How to asses our own health right now
For half a century, Dr. Jaffe has been investigating, researching, and communicating. As a physician and scientist, he aspired to be comprehensive, objective, empiric, and experiential. Dr. Jaffe started his career that included a passion for deeper understanding, wisdom, evidence, and insight into mechanisms of good and ill health. Starting from intense curiosity and learned scepticism, Dr. Jaffe sought to debunk the best-known advocates of a variety of traditional health promotion and healing systems. What started as a journey to disprove holistic forms of care became a rich educational experience that transformed Dr. Jaffe into a student and then researcher in such areas as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, active meditation, systems biology, and manipulative arts.
Dr. Jaffe came to stunning realizations. The Western model of healthcare he studied, trained in, and researched was fundamentally flawed. He learned that symptom suppression is not the same as personalized health promotion; sick care is not the same as healthful caring; abstract information is not the same as relevant wisdom. He rediscovered that treating disease is not the same as helping whole people heal.
