Episode 48: The Power Is Within
“Spirit is part of us in my belief. We can’t box it up and put it aside. We can’t separate that from ourselves. Because if we do so, we’re actually taking away our highest self and our highest knowledge and our highest ability to comprehend and heal,” explains Dr. Regan Tilley. Dr. Regan has been working in healthcare since 1996. She always knew she wanted to be a doctor, but her family’s traditional values initially held her back from pursuing that dream. After returning to nursing from maternity leave, Dr. Regan experienced a catalytic moment when caring for a cancer patient and realized that she could handle being a doctor after all. She now has a membership-based functional medicine practice where she helps patients with complex medical needs.
A good provider is one who will listen to you with an open heart and accept you as you are.
They will be your teammate and guide you along your path, but will not make all your decisions for you. Dr. Regan helps her patients in their healing journey by incorporating spirituality. As she explains, spirituality is not religion, but rather it is a part of our highest self. By tapping into the spiritual energy that is already within you, you can begin to heal and pursue your life’s purpose.
The spirit inside you already has the power to help you heal, you just need to know how to access it. The universe tried to nudge Dr. Regan toward being a doctor for decades before she actually listened. When you learn to recognize those nudges and reconnect with your spirituality, you will not only be able to heal, but also have an easier time determining your purpose.
About Regan Tilley, DO:
Dr. Regan Tilley is a wife, mother and passionate healthcare advocate. She has been teaching her patients to speak up for themselves and take control of their health in order to become the most optimized version of themselves.
She has been in healthcare since 1996, and has worked her way up from Patient Care Tech to Osteopathic Physician. She has been a lifelong observer and always known she was unique. She knew at 6 years old she would be a physician. When the family friend asked her why and how she knew that, her answer was “because that is what I’m supposed to do.”
She has experienced several personal health crises that might lead one to despair and to question “why is this happening to me?” She has always taken these as opportunities to learn and knows someday it will help someone else, and she has a deep sense of empathy for what they are going through. In addition to her own personal experiences, she has discovered that some of the issues she had in her younger years as a nurse were not her actual experiences. She discovered that she would feel the pain and discomfort of the patients she was working with in her own body. It took many years for her to understand that, something she learned while on an Integrative Medicine Clerkship in Medical School. This month-long experience opened her eyes to an entirely new understanding of health and wellness, and brought the healing of the energetic body home for her.

Quotes:
- “The universal nudges get really big sometimes. They’re not usually a gentle tap on the shoulder, and if they are you don’t listen. It has to come a little bit harder before we pay attention.” (9:10-9:20 | Dr. Regan)
- “You have to find a provider that listens to you. You have to have someone who will listen to you with an open heart and mind, and accept you as you are and then join you as a team member for you. They’re not going to dictate your path, they’re going to participate with you, and they’re going to guide you on your journey to healing.” (26:00-26:22 | Dr. Regan)
- “What are you here to do on this planet and what are you not able to do because of how you feel right now?” (37:26-37:30 | Dr. Regan)
- “Spirit is part of us in my belief. We can’t box it up and put it aside. We can’t separate that from ourselves. Because if we do so, we’re actually taking away our highest self and our highest knowledge and our highest ability to comprehend and heal. So we have to unlock that box and bring it back into full awareness.” (38:34-38:55 | Dr. Regan)

About The Catalyst Host, Dr. Lara Salyer:
I worked as a family physician for 15 years until burnout changed the trajectory of my career. I realized I wanted to start a holistic functional medicine practice in my rural hometown and made it happen. In addition to practicing functional medicine, I now mentor practitioners who are looking to change their paths in healthcare by using what I refer to as the “Catalyst Roadmap”. I share each step of this framework with listeners so that they may apply it to their careers, relationships, personal goals, and projects.
