Dr. Christiane Northrup: Why Culture, Not Your Body, Is Making Women Sick

Ian Clark sits down with Dr. Christiane Northrup, pioneering OB/GYN, women's health advocate, and bestselling author, for a conversation exploring the roots of true wellness, longevity, and what modern culture has misunderstood about women's health. Dr. Northrup shares her journey from a nutritionally minded upbringing to founding Women to Women in 1985, one of the first women-centered medical practices in the United States. Together, Ian and Christiane discuss why so many chronic health challenges may reflect cultural imbalance rather than personal failure, and how reclaiming responsibility for our health begins with changing the way we think about the body. The conversation also explores Dr. Mario Martinez's research on healthy centenarians, aging with vitality, the role of nutrition, protecting your energy, and surrounding yourself with people who support your well-being.
