Unlocking the Body's Innate Capacity for Healing: From Colds and Injuries to Anxiety and Heart Health | Dr. Victoria Maizes

Our bodies are brilliant at healing. An integrative doctor on how to tap that resource.

Victoria Maizes, MD, is the founding executive director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Her new book is Heal Faster: Unlock Your Body's Rapid Recovery Reflex to Feel Better—Quicker.

• What the Rapid Recovery Reflex is and why the body wants to heal
• The biggest things that block recovery in modern life
• Practical ways to improve our health, ranging from sleep to stress
• Why patients have more power than they think
• How AI can help people ask better questions and work smarter with doctors
• Why what and when you eat matters
• How environmental toxins and social connection quietly shape our health more than we realize
• Tips for handling colds and flu more effectively
• Smarter ways to recover from pain and injuries
• Practical tools for reducing stress and anxiety without immediately turning to medication
