Guest: Samara Mahindra (Founder, CARER Program | Integrative Oncology Expert)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>And episode 2 confirms it. If you have ever mistaken sickness as purely physical, this conversation will punch you in the gut\u2014in a good way.<\/span><\/p>\n Meet Samara Mahindra.<\/span><\/p>\n Not only is she an <\/span>integrative oncology<\/b> expert, but a rebel who had the audacity to say: “Care is more than chemo.” Her work with <\/span>CARER Integrative Cancer Care<\/b> is changing how we think about healing; emotionally, psychologically, socially. Basically, everything our conventional healthcare system conveniently forgets.<\/span><\/p>\n Emotional trauma<\/b> = physical trauma. Not voodoo. That’s biology. And it’s not an option.<\/span><\/p>\n Mental Health in Healthcare<\/b> \u2260 Weakness. But good luck telling that to a country that believes therapy is only for “the mad.”<\/span><\/p>\n Support beyond survival<\/b>. Healing is about dignity, awareness, and agency. When you only look back to the scans and statistics you lose sight of the healing!<\/span><\/p>\n The caregiver mental health matters too<\/b>. Forgotten warriors. Burnt. Unseen. Still standing.<\/span><\/p>\n Samara also opened up a huge gap between how we think about people in healthcare. We consider the disease. Ignore the human. And if that doesn’t make your blood boil\u2014take a minute, check your pulse.<\/span><\/p>\n The medical world might offer a discharge summary, but healing starts after the discharge from the hospital. This episode isn’t the sympathy tour; this is about systems\u2014and how we NEED new systems now.<\/span><\/p>\n You should watch this video if you have ever dealt with illness (you or a loved one). If you do, it may be the most authentic discussion you listen to all year.<\/span><\/p>\n Holistic cancer care <\/b>isn’t an idea for the future. It’s happening now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Truth Shots Season 4 was never intended to be courteous.
