The Body as Teacher with Giulia Enders, MD
Dr. Giulia Enders—physician, gastroenterologist, and bestselling author of Gut—joins us to discuss her new book, Organ Speak. She invites us to see the body not as a machine in need of repair, but as a living source of intelligence, metaphor, and meaning. Reflecting on her early fascination with the gut and her years treating patients with complex gastrointestinal conditions, Giulia explores how language shapes our experience of illness. The conversation ranges across the skin, grief, immunity, and sleep, revealing how a sense of wonder can emerge when we stop viewing the body solely as a problem to be solved.
