This should be required listening for every doctor. It’s so frustrating when doctors lable people with mental illness or being a “difficult patient.” The exact same thing happened (is happening) to me. Everyone including my own wife thinks it’s all in my head.
The arrogance/ignorance of so many doctors is just tragic.
A terrific example of doctors that are allowing themselves to learn so they can truly become healers.
“Nothing opens up your mind like desperation.” LOL. Great interview. So down to earth and informative. Thank you Dr. Hyman and Dr. Li!
To watch this is realizing our medical industry is a scam at the same time trying to make us sick amd crazy all for profit and protecting pharma vaccines and toxins.

Think about how different our medical system would be if all doctors were required to have an extreme health crisis before practicing medicine. It’s through those toughest times with our own health that many of us turn to Functional Medicine, as we realize conventional care isn’t getting us what we need. But sometimes, being so involved in treating others’ diseases makes it difficult for doctors to even see our own symptoms for what they really are. This week’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Cynthia Li, is here to share her personal journey through autoimmunity and realizing her symptoms had deeper meaning.
Dr. Li received her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She’s practiced as an internist in many settings, including Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and St. Anthony Medical Clinic serving the homeless. She currently has a private practice in Berkeley, CA and recently published her first book which I highly recommend, Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness.
