  • Big Idea: How We Can Start to Heal From Traumatic Childhood Experiences that Shape Our Health with Dr. Gabor Mate
    This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Aqua Tru. If you’ve ever gone to your doctor for pain or discomfort, did they ask you about the pain or trauma you’ve experienced in your life? Western medicine often separates the mind from the body, but in reality, the two are deeply connected. From a young age, many of us face hardships we don’t fully recognize, shaping the lens through which we see the world. Adversity is a part of the collective human experience, but when left unresolved, it can lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices that directly impact our physical well-being. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with  Dr. Gabor Maté about the link between trauma, addiction, and chronic illness. They also discuss how profit-driven culture targets our insecurities and the crisis of separation, disconnection, and loneliness we currently face as a society. Most importantly, they discuss the first steps we can take toward health and healing. Dr. Gabor Maté is a renowned speaker and bestselling author known for his work on addiction, trauma, stress, and childhood development. He’s the author of several acclaimed books, including In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, When the Body Says No, and The Myth of Normal. For his groundbreaking contributions, he’s received the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honor. He also co-developed Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach now used by professionals worldwide. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Maté dive into: The role of genes in human health and behavior (1:34) Gabor’s childhood trauma and its lasting impact (6:10) Understanding trauma and how it shapes the way we live, love, and interpret the world (12:45) What society gains and loses from living in a toxic culture (23:35) Final thoughts (30:25) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Gabor Maté This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Aqua Tru.
