John Stracks, MD - Learning to Listen, A New Frontier in Mind Body Entrepreneurship, Painful Lessons, Gratitude, and A Life of Miracles

I first met Dr. John Stracks early in my own pain journey while he was hosting mind body groups and patient recovery seminars out of Northwestern hospital. As a grad student, I stated my intention for joining was for graduate “research,” though my soul knew this was a deeply personal journey and one that would lead to the highest expansion of my personal and professional self. Dr. Stracks has continued to support me both personally and professionally in charting my own life path as he charts his in service to the world. Dr. John Stracks is an integrative physician who specializes in chronic health conditions that have not been helped through conventional Western medicine. He is particularly interested in helping people make the mind-body connection--the connection between what is going on in their lives and what is going on in their bodies--as a way to heal chronic pain. He left his hospital practice in 2017 to co-found what is now Cormendi Health with his wife, Lisa, and an evolving integrative staff of clinicians and healers. His practice, which functions both in-person and virtually, works with clients all over the globe through individual sessions, classes, and discussion groups to help them find healing. You can learn more about his practice at  https://cormendihealth.com.I am grateful to John for his continued support and for being the bridge between traditional Western medicine and the daily miracles taking place outside its walls, on the front lines of the bodymind experience. May this episode be an invitation, a medicine, and a bridge to your most expansive and miraculous self.  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/be-the-vessel-podcast/donations
