“If you have the emotion of worry, it causes disease in the upper GI - that’s a fact. The emotion of fear affects your adrenals, kidney, and bladder, grief and depression affect the immune system, and the emotion of anxiety affects the heart,” reveals Dr. Josh Axe.




The bestselling author and functional health superstar brings energy and enthusiasm to this wide-ranging interview on all matters of healthy living, especially the insights in his new book, Ancient Remedies: Secrets to Healing with Herbs, Essential Oils, CBD, and the Most Powerful Natural Medicine in History.




Dr. Axe starts off by describing how his mother’s cancer diagnosis led him down the path of functional medicine. You’ll learn the importance of mindset and diet for healing and wellness, and we’ll also explore the divergent approaches of western and eastern medicine, and how we can better integrate a holistic approach to healthy eating, healing from disease and dysfunction, and experiencing vibrant health. 




Dr. Axe discusses the “like supports like” concept, extending beyond the familiar idea of consuming organ meats to nurture the function of the corresponding organ in your body to describe how numerous plant foods resemble organs in appearance (carrot looks like eye; walnut looks like brain) and can provide accordant nutritional benefits. 




This fast moving show contains tons of takeaway tips for healing herbs like astragalus (overall immune boosting) and tumeric (not just anti-inflammatory but also helps getting blood moving - nourishing your “Chi” energy in Chinese medicine). Dr. Axe brings a lot of spirituality to his health insights, and you’ll appreciate his emphasis on living in gratitude. One of his final takeaway insights is to perform a “spiritual triathlon” every morning, such as a gratitude exercise.  

Here are some of the most important points Josh makes in the show that pertain to his book, Ancient Remedies:



Heal your body using food as medicine
Mindset is so important for healing
Just how many of our common ailments are caused by the foods we eat



One topic we spend a good amount of time on is the idea that Like Supports Like. Meaning, consuming foods that look like organs actually supports those organs. Some examples include:



Tomatoes look like heart chambers – and guess what? They’re cardio-protective. Studies show that eating tomatoes reduces blood pressure, and protects the heart from damage during a heart attack.
Reishi mushrooms resemble kidneys and adrenals – and boost energy and stamina, even in people with conditions like fibromyalgia.
Coconuts look like heads – and coconut oil is good for brain health.
Carrots resemble eyes – and are good for vision. 
Walnuts look like mini brains – and are the best nut for brain health. Studies show that eating walnuts improves cognitive processing speed and memory.
Celery stalks look like bones – and protect bone health. 
Ginger looks like a stomach – and is an antidote for nausea.




And what about like supports like when it comes to organs themselves? And what about the carnivore rationale? Here’s a quick list of the colors and tastes of foods that activate and support specific organs:



Green – detoxification
Orange – digestion
Yellow – immune
Blue - hormonal/endocrine
Red - heart
Sour – liver
Sweet – pancreas
Bitter – heart
Umami – lungs
Salty – adrenal




Dr. Axe also brings up the importance of eating right for your element. By that, he is referring to how there are 5 elements in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda (the Doshas). Think of it like an ancient personalized health plan; similar to enneagram tests, but for diet.
