In the Shadow of Flexner is a groundbreaking documentary film by Justin Smith that exposes a century-old corruption that forever altered the trajectory of healthcare. At the heart of this riveting narrative lies the Flexner Report, a document published in 1910, whose insidious purpose was to eradicate all traces of natural medicine from the educational landscape.

In an era when conventional doctors faced public skepticism, the Flexner Report became the tool of choice for industrial capitalists seeking to monopolise medicine. With an intricate web of influence, orthodox physicians and profit-driven magnates embarked on a mission to discredit any therapeutic approach that did not involve drugs or surgery. The fallout of this Machiavellian maneuver was the sidelining of gentle, nature-aligned treatments in favor of a system that prioritises profit over patients.

While orthodox medicine has undeniably gifted the world with life-saving advancements, the documentary sheds light on the dark underbelly of a system where millions have become collateral damage in the pursuit of financial gain. The film explores the paradox of a medical industry awash with unprecedented funds, yet failing to stem the tide of rising chronic conditions globally.

Through compelling storytelling and jaw-dropping revelations, In the Shadow of Flexner takes audiences on a gripping journey through the annals of medical history. It challenges viewers to question the ethical foundations of a healthcare system that, despite its triumphs, has left countless individuals in the shadows of profit-driven decision-making. As the world grapples with escalating healthcare costs and an alarming surge in chronic illnesses, this documentary serves as a poignant call to reevaluate the priorities that shape the future of global wellness.

During stressful times, adequate sleep can be elusive. Excessive worrying and racing thoughts can lead to difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. In this webinar, you will learn why sufficient sleep is necessary for health and to help cope with stress. Strategies such as using mindfulness techniques that can lead to achieving a restful slumber will be taught.

 

High levels of stress impair sleep by prolonging how long it takes to fall asleep and fragmenting sleep. Sleep loss triggers our body’s stress response system, leading to an elevation in stress hormones, namely cortisol, which further disrupts sleep. Prolonged stress levels, therefore, decrease sleep duration and reduce REM sleep, leading to poorer quality sleep, impaired memory, and poorer mood regulation. The lack of restorative sleep, in turn, leads to more stress.
