🚨 Our Medical System is built for Crisis, Not Complexity.....
Modern medicine excels at saving lives in emergencies. Break bones, have a stroke, appendicitis, infection, it’s fast, efficient, life-saving. Fabulous yes, were grateful.
Why? Because the system was designed around wars, trauma, and infectious disease outbreaks. It’s built on, standard protocols, Drugs and surgeries, fast diagnosis & treatment & being discharged.
This works brilliantly for acute conditions. But it breaks down when it comes to chronic illness like migraines, autoimmune, IBS, arthritis, fatigue, anxiety, these don’t follow simple patterns. These are rooted in stress & nervous system dysregulation, diet & gut health, unprocessed trauma/grief, genetics + environment, poor sleep, burnout, & lack of support.
The system approach is “Here’s a pill.”, “Let’s run a blood test.” or worse, “It’s all in your head.” The “one-size-fits-all doctor” model doesn't work here. GP doctors are trained in Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals, & symptom management.
They are NOT trained in Root-cause investigation, Trauma-informed care, Nutrition or lifestyles or Nervous system regulation.
You get 10–15 minutes, you're given a label, a script (maybe referred to someone else at your additional cost & time), no time for your story, & no time to connect the dots. The result?
Misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, Dr to Dr, long-term suffering with no clear answers, symptom-chasing instead of true healing & burnout for doctors, closed books long wait times to see someone initially not to mention frustrated patients
🌱 The future of chronic care should integrate holistic, personalized, and root-cause thinking. It asks What’s this body trying to say?, what patterns are driving this illness? & what support, not just treatment does this person need?
It may include Functional medicine, Somatic + trauma-informed therapy, nervous system regulation, Breathwork, movement, nutrition & lifestyle changes.
Because chronic illness is systemic, not just symptomatic & healing isn't a transaction. Let’s stop forcing complex conditions into an emergency-care mold.
Let’s build a system where healing is possible — not just “managed.” 🌴💫
