If you feel like leaving last year behind you and stepping into a whole new world of health, then today's guest is a perfect person to listen to as she chats with Philly through all the wonderful, predominantly free things that you can do for your health. Dr. Catherine Clinton is a licensed naturopathic physician with a focus on gut autoimmunity and she is a psychoneuroimmunologist. She's here to advise on all things germs and microbes to the best time to expose yourself to the sun.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Catherine is passionate about the connections we have with the world around us and how these connections can regenerate our health and the health of the planet. She sees an urgent need for healing our internal terrain. As well as healing the terrain of the world we live in.
The Germ theory camp led by Louis Pasteur ascribed to the belief that each germ causes one disease, one germ causes one disease. The biologists and physiologists looking at Terrain theory are talking about how the environment around the cell or organism or microbe dictates what that organism is going to do.
We live in fear of these germs and bacteria and fungi, but we're made up of them. That's what we are. We are actually nature. We've separated ourselves from that connection to nature and are being taught to fear it and that it’s the cause of our illnesses.
We have reconfigured the natural ecosystem around us into this hierarchy with us on top. Hands on our hips and microscope in hand. This is probably why our energy in the world is quite low at the moment. We are seeing sickness and disease run rampant.
Sunlight is an energy source for our bodies but we’re taught that it is dangerous for our skin. Sunlight is so essential for our mental health and well-being but we’re being brainwashed to cover our skin with toxic sunscreens. The skin is the biggest organ of the body and absorbs everything you put on it.

 
BEST MOMENTS

‘Western science has really taken over the stage when it comes to science globally, and the way that they do it is really by removing and elevating the human above all else’
‘The sun is forming our biology, it's boosting our mitochondrial function’
