How a Doctor Cured Her Own Autoimmune Disease with Dr. Cynthia Li

Dr. Cynthia Li had it all — a thriving medical career, a loving
marriage, and children. But everything came crashing down when
she was hit with a disabling autoimmune thyroid condition.
Strange symptoms took over her life and, despite numerous tests,
the results always came back "normal". It was a puzzle that left
both Dr. Li and her doctors scratching their heads, which led her
to embark on an unconventional journey of self-discovery and
healing.


 


In this episode you’ll learn: 


* How fear makes autoimmunity worse


* A journaling exercise for deep self inquiry


* What your dreams can reveal about your subconscious  


* The healing potential of qigong


Cynthia Li, MD, is a medical doctor and author whose personal
journey through a complex autoimmune condition took her from
public health in underserved communities to integrative medicine
and intuitive healing. She has studied with functional medicine
experts, environmental health scientists, alternative healers,
and qigong masters. She has served as faculty for Dr. Rachel
Remen's Healer's Art program at the University of California San
Francisco School of Medicine, and written a bestselling memoir
called Brave New Medicine: A Doctor's Unconventional Journey to
Healing Her Autoimmune Illness. What is most alive for her right
now is coaching groups, where she integrates the powerful energy
healing modality of qigong with clinical medicine. She also
serves as co-anchor for Awakin Calls, a project of
