What do you do when you have a debilitating chronic illness and the medical system you've dedicated your life to has no answers?

For many, this leads to a feeling of learned helplessness, being punted from one doctor to the next only to be told your tests are "normal."

In this powerful and personal conversation, Dr. Mark Hyman talks with Dr. Cynthia Li, a conventionally trained internist who found herself on the other side of the stethoscope. After the birth of her first child, she developed an autoimmune thyroid condition that spiraled into a mysterious, multi-system illness, leaving her housebound for two years and feeling completely hopeless.

Dr. Li shares her incredible journey from "Hopeless to Healed," detailing the hidden solution she discovered when conventional medicine failed her. Her path to recovery didn't come from a pill, but from a complete paradigm shift—seeing the body as an interconnected system, healing her gut, adopting an ancestral diet, and embracing unconventional tools like intuition and emotional healing to find the root causes of her illness.

This conversation is a roadmap for anyone feeling lost, offering a brave new perspective on what it truly means to heal.
