Paralysis to Purpose: Razi Berry | EP11

Paralysis to Purpose: Razi Berry | EP11

Razi Berry, founder of Naturopathic Doctor News and Review and host of Love is Medicine, shares—for the first time—her personal story of losing nearly everything to a mysterious illness that left her bedridden and partially paralyzed for 5 years.

Razi opens up about the terror of losing her independence, the painful medical uncertainty, and the long, layered road to recovery. Through vulnerability and humor, she reveals how the experience reshaped her understanding of the mind-body connection—and why true healing often begins with compassion for yourself and others.

A story of resilience, faith, and rediscovering joy through unimaginable darkness.

Listen for heartfelt insights on the difference between mindset and biology, the complexity of chronic illness, and how love—expressed in action, not slogans—can be medicine.
