EP 106 Creativity as Medicine with Dr. Lara Salyer
Episode 106
Monday, 9 February, 2026
What if creativity isn’t something you do, but something you live? In this episode, Dr. Judith Borger and Dr. Lara Salyer explore creativity as a state of being rather than a talent or task. They discuss how creativity supports the nervous system, restores vitality, and acts as a powerful antidote to burnout—especially in high-achieving, high-responsibility lives. Blending science, lived experience, and practical insight, this conversation reframes creativity as essential medicine. You’ll learn why small, everyday creative acts matter, how creativity reconnects us to meaning and joy, and simple ways to access creative energy in your daily life—no artistic identity required. Dr. Lara Salyer, DO, IFMCP, is a functional medicine physician, author, and creativity catalyst who helps high-achieving women reconnect with their bodies, intuition, and creative power. After experiencing burnout in conventional medicine, she reimagined healing through the lens of flow neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and creative expression. She received additional training from the Flow Research Collective and is a student of core shamanism. She is the author of Right Brain Rescue, a memoir exploring how creativity and self-permission can transform burnout into vitality. Today, Dr. Lara runs a holistic membership practice, mentors women clinicians, and speaks internationally on creativity as a vital, teachable state of wellbeing. She is faculty at School of Applied Functional Medicine. Her work blends science, somatics, and soulful play—reminding people that regulation doesn’t have to be rigid, and healing doesn’t have to be heavy.
