    🎧 Being in Medicine – The Ultimate Experience

    “There’s a place where healing begins not with doing, but with being.”

    What happens when the clinical meets the cosmic? When presence matters more than performance? Welcome to Being in Medicine, where we step beyond symptoms, science, and systems — and into the radical art of becoming whole.

    In this soul-expanding podcast, hosts Dr Jeff Marrs and Dr. Corey Anderson takes listeners on a journey through the hidden dimensions of healing — where grief, silence, joy, and surrender all hold medicinal power. Blending emotional vulnerability with spiritual insight, each episode becomes a ceremony of remembering: that we are not broken to be fixed, but beings to be felt.

    This special arc — The Ultimate Experience — chronicles a transformative encounter in Arizona, where medicine isn’t a prescription — it’s a presence. Guided by the work of The Ultimate Coach and surrounded by a community of courageous hearts, Jeff shares a visceral unfolding of identity, purpose, and sacred pause. This isn’t just a story of healing — it’s a dismantling of illusion, a devotion to truth, and a call to return home to yourself.

    Whether you're a clinician questioning the system, a soul navigating grief, or a seeker ready to let go of old stories — Being in Medicine invites you into something deeper.

    This is the medicine of now.
    This is the medicine of being.
    This is The Ultimate Experience.
