Stop Compartmentalising Your Health: A H...

Simon Mundie
About this episode

Ever feel like your health is treated as a checklist of symptoms rather than a complete picture? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Erica Matluck to explore what it really means to heal the whole person – body, mind, heart, and spirit. Dr. Matluck shares her Four Quadrants model of health and explains why true wellness means looking beyond the physical. We discuss how ancient wisdom (like Ayurveda’s focus on balance) meets modern life, and why your consciousness and spiritual well-being are just as crucial as your diet and exercise. (Spoiler: even hardcore materialists have their own “beliefs” they might not realize.)

Dr. Matluck also reveals the often-overlooked power of community and human connection in healing. She guides us through ways to regulate our nervous systems and truly embody wellness, so we’re not just thinking about health – we’re feeling it. We even dive into the impact of technology on our attention and well-being, and how to find balance in a hyper-connected world.


Topics Covered


  • The Four Quadrants of Health – Understanding Dr. Matluck’s holistic model addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being (and why each one matters).
  • Ayurvedic Balance – How ancient Ayurveda influences Dr. Matluck’s view on finding balance in our bodies and minds, and what we can learn from this time-tested approach.
  • Consciousness & Spirituality – The role of meaning, purpose, and spiritual well-being in healing, and why spirituality isn’t as “silly” or “woo-woo” as skeptics might think (hint: materialism is a belief system, too!).
  • Connection & Community – Why healing isn’t a solo journey. We talk about the importance of connection, community support, and relationships in achieving and maintaining health.
  • Nervous System & Embodiment – Tips on regulating your nervous system and practicing embodiment, so you can calm stress responses and fully inhabit your body for deeper healing.
  • Tech & Well-Being – The impact of our tech-driven lifestyles on attention and mental health. Dr. Matluck offers insight on navigating smartphones and social media mindfully to protect your well-being.
