Dr. Hira Singh is a dear family friend and pioneer of integrative medicine, with more than 45 years of experience working with patients in Singapore and Australia.
After graduating from RI and NUS Medical School, Dr. Singh took a different route from his peers, deciding to move to Kalgoorlie, a small mining town in Australia, and started his journey from mainstream medicine to integrative health.
He believes that Western medicine is not the only available path to better health care, but that we also need complementary care for our mind, emotions, body and spirit.
In this fascinating episode, we talk about his views as a trusted advisor to patients, on how we can empower ourselves on our health management, rather than be passive recipients of a paternalistic medical culture, and change our lifestyle to make simple and healthy choices with a huge multiplier effect on our happiness and wellbeing.
