Episode 37: Truth Is the Medicine: Identity, Health & Reclaiming Responsibility
Description
In this powerful episode of The Life Dojo, Michael David Climmer explores truth as a form of healing — from the stories that shape our identity to the systems that influence our wellbeing. We begin by unpacking myths and cultural narratives, including a deeper look at the legend of St. George and how heritage, upbringing, and immigrant backgrounds shape who we become.
The conversation then shifts toward health, where Michael and guest Marcus Edwards share personal experiences within the NHS — both moments of excellent care and situations that revealed limitations within the system. This episode does not claim that medicine is harmful; rather, it highlights how complex healthcare can be and why patients often feel unsupported when it comes to long-term wellbeing.
In addition, we discuss the gaps many men experience around lifestyle guidance, nutrition, and stress management — areas where personal responsibility, intuition, and informed decision-making play a powerful role in long-term health.
As a result, this episode becomes a call for self-awareness, honest reflection, and taking ownership of your life. True strength comes from learning, questioning, and making choices that support your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
