Episode 2: Science Meets Soul

In this episode of Bridging Science and Soul, Dr. Stephen Brewer, a physician, and Dr. Elizabeth Brewer, a psychotherapist, explore what it really means to heal from both scientific and soulful perspectives. Stephen shares how he approaches patient care by blending medical science with an understanding of stress, environment, and psychology. Elizabeth reflects on how displacement, belonging, and the body’s search for “home” shape our well-being. Together, they reveal how physical and emotional health are deeply intertwined. The conversation journeys through epigenetics, intergenerational trauma, and the ways our bodies “remember” experiences. Elizabeth describes poetry as the language of the soul, while Stephen offers a more analytical view, creating a dynamic balance between intuition and science. We also hear about Stephen’s unique method for patient communication, inspired by aviation checklists, and Elizabeth’s approach to deep listening and storytelling as medicine. This episode invites you to consider: How do science and soul meet in the act of healing? And what happens when we listen — not just to our symptoms, but to our stories?
