Dr. Chris Ellis argues that measuring your body's resilience, or ability to adapt to stress, can fix existing health problems and prevent new ones. He criticizes healthcare's fragmented approach of separate specialists and pushes for treating the body as one integrated system instead.
Hey, what's going on? Dr. Chris here. And today I'm talking about resilience. Once again, I've been talking about resilience for years, but more specifically how to measure it. Because I think that if you go after your body's capacity or its resilience or becoming antifragile, you become, um, you can fix a lot of problems and you can even prevent a lot of problems through that. Too many of our healthcare providers are stuck in their silo. You got a heart guy, you got a lung guy, you got a hip guy, a knee guy. And that's all well and good. But if you have to, if you take a step back and look at the body as a whole, I think you can really solve a lot of problems. And I think it's kind of funny that the word holistic, which just means like to look at the whole body, has become like associated with like fringe healthcare or something like that. It's so strange to me. What's wrong with looking at the whole body?
