70. Kelly Gores: Why Most People Stay Sick (And How to Finally Shift It)

Most people focus on physical health. But after years of practicing medicine, I've seen this truth again and again: you can't heal your body if your mind and nervous system are stuck in survival mode. In this episode of Extend, I sat down with Kelly Gores, creator of HEAL and founder of WellSet, to explore how trauma, stress, and emotional blocks drive chronic disease—and what it really takes to heal. We dive into the science behind the placebo effect, how intuition works, why regulating your nervous system is foundational for longevity, and the simple daily practices that can completely shift your biology. Kelly Gores is the writer, director, and producer of HEAL Documentary, and the founder of WellSet, a platform bringing holistic healing practices to a wider audience.
