Dr. Sharon Stills interviews Executive Director of BRMI, Dr. James Odell about the “state of the union” concerning our world currently, and the state of medicine. In particular, Dr. Stills and Dr. Odell discuss the state of medical freedom, the importance of tuning into one’s gut-knowing, and educating oneself on a variety of perspectives and evidenced-based research. Dr. James Odell, ND, OMD, L.Ac. has been practicing BioRegulatory medicine in the United States for over two decades. With a degree in naturopathy, a license in acupuncture, a post-doctorate in TCM obtained in China, and several European BioRegulatory internships under his belt, Dr. Odell is truly an expert in the field of BioRegulatory Medicine. In addition to his medical expertise, James also has over a decade of education experience, having been the education director for the Biological Medicine Network for over 10 years, and finally, is the author of a 700+ page ground-breaking book on breast cancer called “Breast Cancer: The Rest of the Story,” which you can find more information about on our 50th episode. We are always blessed to have Dr. Odell’s steady wisdom grace our podcast. This conversation is no exception. Dr. Odell gives an honest and frank assessment of what we are facing as a collective, but also offers the hope that we are encouraged to remember: Health is not left up to chance – it is within the grasp of everyone who is still breathing. To that end, we greet 2022 with a sense of renewed vigor and readiness to practice radical self-care, from a place of love for self, and for the world. Join us for yet another inspiring episode, and Happy New Year from all of us at BRMI!
