Essential Alchemy

In this episode of Essential Alchemy, Jodi Cohen interviews Dr. Neil Nathan, a board-certified doctor who has been treating chronically complex medical illnesses for over 30 years. Dr. Nathan discusses his upcoming book, "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide," which addresses the increasing number of patients who have become unusually sensitive to normal stimuli such as light, sound, touch, food, chemicals, and EMFs. He attributes this sensitivity to the toxicity of our modern world and the fear perpetuated by media, especially in relation to COVID-19. Dr. Nathan explains how the limbic and vagal systems in the body monitor safety and how they can become hypervigilant, leading to a heightened sensitivity to stimuli.
