True healing begins when we reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with deeper wisdom within. Dr. Karyn Shanks shares how her four-decade journey as a physician led her to reimagine medicine through compassion, connection, and personal agency. From her own experience navigating chronic illness to helping others reclaim their energy and wholeness, she reveals why the best medicine starts from within. Through her grounded insights and gentle guidance, Dr. Shanks reminds us that healing is not about fixing what's broken, it's about remembering that we were never broken in the first place. 

Key Takeaways:  

• Healing starts when we feel safe, seen, and supported. 

• The best medicine combines science, compassion, and human connection. 

• Our bodies are designed to heal when we give them the right environment and care. 

• Personal transformation begins with small, intentional choices each day. 

• Hope and healing live within all of us—we just have to remember how to access them.
