When doctors are stymied by a patient\'s case, they often label the patient "difficult." What can you do when that label has been put on you? Dr. Cynthia Li, author of \\u201cBrave New Medicine,\\u201d understands where you\'re coming from. Because it happened to her, too. A functional medicine physician, she once was labeled "difficult" while dealing with a debilitating auto-immune condition.

Today, she describes her own personal journey to health, and how she had to shift her paradigm from one of relying on external authorities and rationality, to moving toward embracing intuition, instinct, and ancestral wisdom. She discusses the importance of \\u201cnot trying harder but trying differently.\\u201d And how, for her, true healing came as she pursued connecting with herself on a profound level.
