Episode 8: Does language impact our health?

In this episode I discuss the mind body language connection. Ever thought about how your language contributes to your overall understanding of your health? I recently read Don't Sleep There are Snakes by Daniel Everett where he studied the language and culture of the Piraha tribe in the Amazonian jungle. His findings started to make me reflect on our use of language and how it impacts our views on health and may reflect what matters most to us. It also led me to think about my time in Moldova teaching health and how some of my topics were hard to break down due to our different perspectives on mental health.
