The Body Has An Amazing Ability To Heal If You Do This...

"The healer's job has always been to release something not understood, to remove obstructions (demons, germs, despair) between the sick patient and the force of life driving obscurely toward wholeness...

The more I consider the origins of medicine, the more I'm convinced all true physicians seek the same thing."

- Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD - The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and The Foundation of Life

One core belief I adopted that changed the way I approach health...

In medical school I was taught the principle of "the body has an amazing ability to heal when you remove the obstacle to cure."

Ok...what does that mean?

This stems from the inherent understanding that the technology inside each of our cells evolved over millions of years.

Everything our bodies do is a response to a PERCEIVED threat or change in our internal or external environment.

There's a lot of wisdom in each of us!

Illness, weight gain, high blood sugar, fatigue, inflammation, heart disease, mental health challenges...

These are all ways our body uses to protect itself...in the short term.

The problem is when the responses become chronic and creates collateral damage.

This is what we call disease.

Therefore, our job as our own healer is to start by removing the obstacle that is getting in the way of being healthy.

In practical terms we have to...

- Get our internal clocks aligned with the cycles of night and day

- Eat nutrient dense REAL food, not ultra-processed food-like calories

- Remove toxins in our food, water, and air

- Address stressors head-on

- Find meaningful work

- Have a solid set of values and empowering belief systems

- Feel a sense of belonging and community

In other words, stop getting in the way of how nature and our bodies are designed to work!
