Summary

We are excited to welcome back Dr. Michelle Choi! Michelle practiced internal medicine in hospitals and primary care before transitioning to podcasting. Her very popular podcast, Lost or Found, is a deep dive into true health and wellness.

Michelle is forthright, honest and vulnerable as she shares throughout this book the reality of working in corporate medicine, how generational trauma and adverse childhood experiences are evident in the mind body connection. Michelle also shares the realities of enmeshed family dynamics and how to break free and find freedom for yourself so you can live the life you came here to experience and enjoy. This book is an insightful read interspersed with humor and down to earth wisdom.
