But as long-time listeners know, I’ve had a couple of close calls. A simple twist of fate or freak accident can alter the course of your life. But if you let them, tragedies can set us on a new path that can change us for the better. The reason I disappeared for the past few months isn’t because I took vacation. I was seriously injured in a hit-and-run car wreck. A speeding driver rear-ended me out of nowhere going 80 mph in 35mph zone, hitting so hard it ripped off my rear wheel and ruptured the gas tank. I was knocked unconscious briefly, but somehow managed to get the car off the road instead of being dragged into oncoming traffic (on three wheels). The other driver fled, but good Texans who saw what happened helped me get out of harms way. It only seems appropriate that this week’s guest shares his name with Lazarus, the legendary Biblical figure who was raised from the dead. In this episode, Abel James shares a personal story about his recent near-death experience in a car accident, which left him with a concussion and other injuries. He reflects on the importance of resilience and the ability to recover from setbacks, emphasizing the concept of becoming antifragile. Abel introduces his guest, Dr. Ryan Lazarus, who also faced a life-altering accident at a young age, leading him to a career in functional medicine.

Dr. Lazarus discusses the paradigm shift in healthcare towards a more holistic model, emphasizing the importance of balance, flexibility, and consistency in health practices. He introduces the concept of the \"Lazarus Method,\" which includes seven essential health elem…","meta_description":"Have you ever had a near death experience? I sincerely hope not.
