The Split: Healing Relationships and Reconnecting
By Dr. Shiv Kumar Goel, MD · Medically Reviewed & Updated 2026-07-15
At Prime Vitality Care in San Antonio, Texas, we look at the body as an interconnected system where biology and biography are deeply linked. In his upcoming book, Healing the Split: When Your Biology Is Fighting Your Biography, Mount Sinai-trained physician Dr. Shiv Goel, MD explore how unresolved emotional, social, and life stress shapes measurable biological dysfunction.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Dr. Goel’s functional medicine approach traces illnesses to their roots. This perspective aligns with clinical studies regarding the mind-body connection published in journals like the National Institutes of Health (PubMed), proving that chronic stress directly triggers hormonal and metabolic imbalances.
