Namaste, soul family. This is Jewels with Cosmic Consciousness, Coding the New Human for the New Earth. I am so excited about our guest today, Elizabeth Hughes. Elizabeth received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and her medical degree from the University of Virginia. She did Advanced Medical training at the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University. After completing your residency, she joined the Stanford faculty where she taught for eight years. She also practiced at several large medical groups, as well as being in a private practice.
As she progressed through her career, Elizabeth became frustrated at the promises of medical science that didn’t translate to the cures for most common diseases and the patients still struggled with illnesses despite receiving state of the art medical care. After witnessing the nearly spontaneous resolution of an incurable disease, Elizabeth became obsessed with finding out why mainstream medicine fails so many people, and that is what we’re going to start with. Welcome to the show, Elizabeth.
Thank you. It’s good to be here.
Oh my gosh. I’m so excited about this. So I know this is a really intense question. So why does mainstream medicine fail so many people? Let’s just move right into that.
Great. So here’s the thing. Mainstream medicine comes from the sort of a root belief, like if you could peel back everything that medicine believes, you would get down to this point where you’d realize all doctors basically believe people are broken, they’re sick, their bodies are frail, fragile, they’re going to fall apart, and this underlies everything that medicine does and that fundamental belief, that’s the problem. I mean, when we really, really look at how we shape our bodies and our lives, and our lives or our bodies are the thing that responds most to our subconscious beliefs.
We have this really deeply unexamined belief that we’re falling apart and nothing can be farther from the truth, and so that’s why, I have gotten some bad flak from people who know me personally, who’ve been to medical school and I put on Facebook one time something along the lines of everybody has the potential for good health, and I got several personal messages from people who know me that says, “No, how can you talk about this garbage?” I’m like, “I do not want to see you as a doctor.” Most people don’t do this, that the doctor who sees you assumes you’re ill, takes that as the assumption.
I’m going to say something not so great, but it’s true. So I don’t want to say anything bad about naturopaths or chiropractors or anyone else, but anyone involved in any sort of physical medicine is coming from the same place. Really, most of them are looking at the body as something that’s broken, then you are broken and that’s not true. The machine, I mean, just scientifically, the machinery of your own wellness is in you and active all the time. Personally, I believe if we all really understood that, like 90% of illness would go away, at least. We might get injured, but we repair ourselves faster. That’s my vision. That’s what I see in the world. Not more technology, less illness.
Beautiful. I’m so on board with you. It’s interesting because as you were saying that doctors come to you as if you are broken and, well, I wouldn’t want to be treated by a doctor like that. But if you’re actually meeting that frequency in that moment when you’re looking to be healed and it’s coming in a frequency match that you’re broken, you can only imagine what that’s actually in the environment if your body is shifting into. I love that you are saying that we are built to repair because I believe that as well. Let’s just go back into that place of the belief, because I know for our environment of our body is created by our beliefs, but I know that there’s a lot of people out there that may be would question, first of all, even what do I believe, and if I do believe that, how do I actually see that in my reality, or see the results of that within my body? So I’d love for you to talk a little on that.
Okay, so I’m going to answer backwards. I’m going to answer it like how you see the results in your body. Okay. So whenever you are feeling something along the lines of fear, you can call it worry, you can call it anxiety, you can call it stress, but any of those fear type emotions, and true for any emotion, but anything like fear is actually a biochemical response within your body, and it literally changes how your body functions. It changes how your heart beat, it changes how you exchange oxygen.
It changes how you digest food, how your hormones work, how your immune system works, how you make new blood cells. There’s no part of your body that isn’t affected by that fear chemical cocktail that your body releases. Even if you say something like, “I hope I get better,” but underneath that I hope, there’s the assumption, “But I don’t think I am,” and that triggers that fear response, just low grade, smoldering all the time. That’s why we get poor results even when we’re being given good medicine and good treatment, is that our bodies are working against ourselves and we’re hormonally hijacking our healing process. That’s really what’s happening.
People, how do you know what you believe? That was your first question. Well, I think if you’re alive and human, at some point, you are going to have this belief that you’re falling apart. The best way to look at this is usually just to think about what you say about your body all the time, or about your health. Things like it’s normal to feel ill when I’m tired, when I’m getting old. Everybody in my family has cancer so I’m going to as well. These ideas are just woven into your own thoughts in such a way that you don’t have an ability to separate it necessarily, because it feels normal. Yeah, everybody in my family dies of a heart attack. So, well, no. When you believe it’s true, it’s going to feel true.
It’s just like you just painted the perfect picture of collective consciousness. We don’t even necessarily go in and ask, is this true for me? What I love about when I purposely ask that question about results, because that’s one thing that I love to practice for myself, and of course, practice with the people that I work with is if you’re looking for results, you’re coming from the wrong frequency. Because it’s the opposite of divine trust, and I know that that’s a big part of what you like to teach. So we’re going to go on a quick break, Elizabeth, but before we do, I know people are going to want to be able to find more about you. So how would they find you?
So my website is my name, elizabethhughesmd.com. So find me there.
Beautiful, and we’ll be right back.Â
