We all know the saying, “the body keeps the score,” and this week’s guest, Dr. Tila Kansagra, has lived it — and now helps others heal from it.
A UK-based general practitioner and lifestyle medicine physician, Dr. Kansagra brings compassion, lived experience, and evidence-based practice together to help her patients move beyond symptoms and toward true wellness.
In this conversation, we dive into her personal journey with familial trauma, her passion for plant-based nutrition, and how the six pillars of lifestyle medicine — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, connection, and avoidance of risky substances — can transform lives.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, burnout, or just want to live stronger and more intentionally, Dr. Kansagra’s story will remind you that healing starts when you care for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.
Key Takeaways:
- How trauma and lived experience shaped Dr. Kansagra’s approach to medicine
- Why empathy and connection are essential tools for healing
- The definitions and diagnosis of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- The role of plant-based nutrition in helping to reverse chronic fatigue and restore energy
- How lifestyle medicine empowers patients to take control of their health
- Practical steps to build resilience and vitality
