The Original Medicines Podcast explores healing beyond labels through raw conversations about trauma, spirituality, and the wisdom hidden in our most challenging experiences. I'm Anneke Sips, and this podcast is primarily in English with select episodes in Dutch.
Dr. Simone Ardesch is both a dear friend and colleague — a passionate physician specializing in integrative medicine with a focus on mind-body healing. In her practice, she shares her own journey of consciousness development, personal leadership, and growth, alongside her deep love for nature. She believes that connecting with our heart, body, emotions, talents, and inner wisdom forms the essential foundation for physical health and vitality.
In her medical practice, Simone has witnessed how this holistic approach creates the groundwork for true healing. Beyond her clinical work, she serves as director of the Amsterdam School for Integrative Medicine & Health, a continuing education institute for physicians seeking to expand beyond conventional medical paradigms.
This conversation explores unconditional love as medicine - how heart-based healing transforms both practitioners and patients, and what it means to practice medicine from a place of wholeness rather than fragmentation.
