Behavioral Health Today

About

Forget everything you’ve been told about resting and icing your injuries. True recovery isn't a passive waiting game or a one-size-fits-all formula, it is an active, dynamic process rooted in intuition, genetics, and smart, whole-body strategy. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Victoria Maizes, an internationally recognized leader in integrative medicine, founding executive director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, professor, and host of the Body of Wonder podcast. Together, they dive into Dr. Maizes’ groundbreaking book, “Heal Faster: Unlock Your Body's Rapid Recovery Reflex”, to dismantle long-held recovery myths like R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and reveal why traditional treatments like ice and NSAIDs might actually be delaying your healing. Tune in to discover evidence-based, integrative strategies across nutrition, mindset, and nervous system regulation designed to activate your body’s innate healing power, break the cycle of chronic pain, and maintain peak physical vitality.
