Dr. Sam Slattery

Dr Sam has been practising medicine for over forty years, and during this time, he has perfected the art of explaining a broad range of difficult medical concepts and ideas to anyone. He is not a famous doctor in a world-renowned medical centre, which is important because he is a real-world doctor with experience from all over the planet. His hallmark is that he treats people, not diseases; as he will explain, this is critical to being a good physician. Illness and disease occur because the ecosystem that is our body is thrown out of balance. To return to health, or even improve your health, you need to restore balance to the system, which means both body and mind. This approach is not some fanciful idea or even some odd philosophy; it is based on hard science that has yet to permeate into modern medical practice. This is the world of psychoneuroimmunology and biopsychosocial medicine. When not seeing patients he will most likely be in Malawi Africa working with local communities, walking up a mountain, on a boat or in a plane which is his me-time.
