from Calm, Clear & Helpful · host Mariette Snyman

Instead of losing all hope when faced with a debilitating eye condition, stroke and acute depression, Dr Arien van der Merwe found ways to grow into a more perceptive, empathic healer. She explains how neuroplasticity helped her recover from paralysis, discusses the placebo versus the nocebo effect and metabolic syndrome, and lists her personal tips for self-care. www.mariettesnyman.co.za · This episode's podcast notes and photograph · arianihealth.com · www.facebook.com · www.instagram.com · www.linkedin.com
