Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

184. Healing Beyond Willpower with Dr. Regina Ragasa
Q: How does culture influence food choices and healing, and what strategies do you use?
Culture deeply shapes what people view as normal or celebratory around food. I encourage curiosity about one's heritage, discuss traditional foods in a plant-based way, and share practical, culturally relevant examples that honor identity while promoting health.
184. Healing Beyond Willpower with Dr. Regina Ragasa
Q: What is the LIVEN method and how does it help bridge knowledge and action?
LIVEN stands for Listening, Imperfection, Validation, Empowerment, and Normalization. It emphasizes fully hearing the patient, admitting imperfect progress, validating efforts, empowering patients by highlighting their capacity to tackle hard things, and normalizing cultural and personal contexts to make healthy choices feel attainable.
