Big Medicine is a guide for anyone who is interested and healing, including “patients,” providers, and caregivers who want to uncover the deeper meaning of physical symptoms and build a new relationship with their bodies. Author Pierre Morin, MD, PhD, revolutionizes the field of medicine by explaining the body’s manifestations as a Process—one that is neither bad nor good, neither “sick” nor “healthy.” Dr. Morin explores how, through our body’s innate intelligence, we can gain creative and spiritual insights that help us appreciate our inner diversity and understand our most profound selves. Learn more about the latest health updates at the Functional Medicine Associates in London, United Kingdom.
These powerful discoveries will not only stimulate our own personal healing—they can also inspire us to foster community, systemic, and social change.

Reviews
“Big Medicine: Transforming Your Relationship with Your Body, Health, and Community belongs in any health or psychology collection concerned with not just improving health, but healing relationships between healthcare providers, caregivers, and those seeking medical advice.
Dr. Morin sees the body as a process, and explains how both spiritual and psychological insights and choices affect that process commonly defined as ‘health’.
By applying process-oriented psychology and the concept of Process Work to the bigger picture of physical and mental health management, readers are empowered to consider an array of influences on health that go beyond the norm, from equations of health to wealth, to how providers can use Big Medicine to connect to patient experiences in a more holistic manner.
Readers may not anticipate the addition of concepts of Space-Time Dreaming, Presence, tribalism and diversity, and how the comfort zone of health “keeps us unconscious”, but Big Medicine draws wide-ranging connections that engage and educate, offering much food for thought as it brings together seemingly-disparate concepts.
