13. The Art of Recovery and The Power of Convalescence with Dr. Gavin Francis

Ever thought lying in bed could be revolutionary? Dr. Gavin Francis is here to spill the tea on why your grandma's advice to "rest up" might be more profound than you think. Author of Recovery: The Lost Art of Convalescence, Dr. Francis takes us on a journey from mind-bending placebo effects to the game-changing power of a proper nap. Whether you're bouncing back from a sneeze or a surgery, this conversation can help you to better appreciate the beauty of hitting the pause button.

Dr. Francis is a general physician with more than 30 years of training and practice in medicine. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners. He is also an award-winning author of eight books and a contributor to the Guardian, Times, New York Review of Books, Granta, and the London Review of Books.

(CRAPPY AUDIO ALERT: apologies for the intermittently audible noise from the surprise construction project that took place on my end of the audio).

Dr. Francis discusses:

  • The active role patients should take in their own recovery journey.
  • The societal and psychological aspects of illness.
  • The importance of developing a trusting relationship with healthcare providers.
  • Personal experiences highlighting the highs and lows of medical recoveries.
  • Developing a more compassionate economy
  • His book, "Recovery, the Lost Art of Convalescence" and the messages it conveys about healing and wellness.
