Episode notes
In this episode, Matt and Sam catch up with Dr. Nav Persaud - a family physician, researcher, and longtime advocate for health equity - to explore the impact of research and land-based healing.
Through years of connection with Gwekwaadziwin Miikan and its participants, Dr. Persaud reflects on the limitations of western medicine, the importance of humility, and what is means to redefine success in healing.
This conversation is about decolonizing healthcare - not by tweaking the systems, but by listening to those it has long ignored. From walking our remote camp setting with his children to witnessing healing through language, land and reconnection - Dr. Persaud invites us to rethink everything we thought we knew about treatment.
