In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Dr. Geeta Maker-Clark, board-certified family physician and co-director of the Culinary Medicine program at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Dr. Maker-Clark, author of Medicine for All People: Science and Ancient Wisdom for Revolutionary Healing, explains why conventional training alone wasn't enough for the patients she saw, how she helped bring food-as-medicine training into a major medical school curriculum, and why she now defines medicine as anything that actually heals, not only what comes in a capsule.\nThe conversation covers the circadian rhythm reset she calls dusking, why plants deserve a personal relationship rather than just a prescription pad, and why she considers community one of the most powerful medicines we have, backed by research showing chronic loneliness carries health risks on par with smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. If you've ever wondered what a doctor trained in both conventional medicine and ancestral healing actually prescribes for a full life, this episode lays it out.\nKey Takeaways:\n0:00 Introduction1:32 Why food alone wasn't the whole story for her book3:18 Conventional training wasn't enough tools in the toolbox6:48 Bringing culinary medicine into the University of Chicago curriculum11:10 Redefining medicine as what actually heals16:21 Reconnecting to nature and the practice of dusking27:55 Community as medicine and the true cost of loneliness \nSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902\nResources:\nMedicine for All People: Science and Ancient Wisdom for Revolutionary Healing - https://a.co/02lCVyCvDr. Geeta Maker-Clark - https://drgeetamakerclark.com/University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine-Culinary Medicine program - https://pritzker.uchicago.edu/Endeavor Health - https://www.endeavorhealth.org/ ...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Xtux76qDp9ZQM4F5izSiY802yaSPvHgvs-Y_zx-iMSM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNmI1/YzRmNzllOTBhMDJh/MWM0Mjc1M2RjZGRm/MDgyNy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
