In this episode we welcome Dr. Patrick Lynch to the studio. Pat shares about being a child of divorce that included estrangement from his mom and a strained relationship with his dad and step-mom. After some typical GenX childhood antics, Pat was sent to military school at Riverside Preparatory Academy for high school. There he learned to follow a strict regimen where he ultimately thrived and earned the privilege of leading his own platoon of cadets. After graduation he almost immediately moved to Ashland, Oregon to attend Southern Oregon University. During his time in Ashland Pat found a space where he could find and honor his authentic self. Pat’s diverse experience in Ashland included attending classes, making friends of various backgrounds, learning to be a professional painter, immersion in yoga, meditation and breathwork, being a caretaker of a beautiful property and even meeting his future wife. Pat reflects on his reunification with his mom after almost two decades, in addition to reconnecting with other family members from his father’s side while living in Santa Cruz. He also shares when he first realized he was colorblind, and how that has affected his life. We learn about his passion for snowboarding and the exciting experiences surrounding it, including snowboarding in Valdez, Alaska. We are also offered a glimpse into his Ayahuasca experience in Washington state. The birth of his son brought immense joy, purpose and fulfillment. A move to Portland, Oregon to study Chinese medicine was followed by a move to Bend, Oregon where Dr. Lynch opened his current practice. Dr. Lynch serves his patients by focusing on the root of infection in the body that may be the cause of chronic illness, including autoimmune diseases. Dr. Lynch’s protocol has healed many people, including some who have found Dr. Lynch as their “last stop” after seeing numerous doctors and spending hundreds or thousands of dollars. We highly encourage anyone who is suffering from disease or chronic illness to consult with Dr. Lynch about their symptoms, as he is a wealth of knowledge on health and getting to the root of illness. We truly enjoyed Pat’s life story, and plan on having him return as a guest to provide a deeper dive into his knowledge on yoga, meditation, breathwork and healing the root cause of disease.
