Healthcare for Humans: Illness, Disease and the Whole Person (Part 1)
0:00

On this episode host Raj Sundar explores the limitations of mechanistic models in medicine and emphasize the importance of seeing patients as whole beings shaped by history, context, land, and community. Through candid conversation among clinicians trained in somatic experiencing, compassionate inquiry, and research with Indigenous communities, he reflects on how social determinants, trauma, and systemic violence contribute to disease and impact the patient experience. We discuss the value and complexity of diagnosis—how it can be both validating and reductive—and address how healing is fostered through relationship, safety, and the recognition of environmental, emotional, and intergenerational influences on health. By sharing personal stories and practical challenges, he highlights the need for culturally responsive, holistic care and the ongoing journey to create safer, more healing spaces within healthcare.
