#166 The Terrain Theory of Healing | Nicholas Leach

What does that mean for those listening, maybe for the first time, and then give us a quick little snapshot of you and how you came into this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good, good introduction.

Um, So we're used to fighting symptoms, you know, when you get a headache or you have high blood pressure.

Typically, the model that we grew up in was, okay, we need to take something to suppress the symptom.

We need to make the symptom go away.

So inherently to that approach, you're teaching people to fear symptoms, to see them as the enemies.

But fundamental to the terrain healing is this understanding that symptoms are the body trying to return back to balance, to return to homeostasis.

So the body was... uh, intelligently designed beyond our comprehension.

We did not design the body.

Um, we get to inhabit it and we, we get to, uh, cherish it and, and learn about it, but it, it operates through an intelligence and through purpose.

So every symptom is really a language that the body's expressing its feedback.

It's saying, you know, there's, there's something that's a the pharmaceutical allopathic model has taught us to see it as an enemy.

The terrain-based healing is this understanding that you're not fighting symptoms.

That's like putting a Band-Aid on the thing.

You're going to look at the conditions that allowed for those symptoms to rise in the first place.

It's taking you to the root cause.

You're looking at the The terrain of the body, which also includes the mind, very important, the mind and body, right, are one thing.

They're interconnected.

And so terrain-based healing is really not getting distracted by the outer expression of the symptoms and instead healing.

reading the signal and understanding what could be causing it and going, you know, kind of tracing it back, following those breadcrumbs back to what those root causes might be.

And again, terrain also means that we're not afraid of germs.

We're not afraid of fungi.

We know that those aren't causing the symptoms that they have a role to play in the process that the body goes through when it's healing, but we're not fighting them.
