I've been thinking a lot about the health care system in America, and I have a few things I need to get off my chest. There's a lot, but I'll take it in small bites, and chew thoroughly, just like I tell my clients to do. Let's start with the big stuff first:

Functional medicine has some big problems. I know more than most, because I’ve been in active practice in the field for two decades.

This really irks me, because even more than me, my clients know, because it caused a lot of suffering for them by reducing the results they could have received from functional medicine.

Sure, lots of people talk up functional medicine. And the truth is, it’s way, way better than mainstream medicine.

The practitioners of functional medicine are generally much more educated, often much more caring, and as a medical art, functional medicine is much more holistic and integrative than mainstream care.

But let’s be honest, if we’re using mainstream medicine as a reference point, functional medicine doesn’t have to clear a very high bar to be much, much better than centralized mainstream medicine.

Yet functional medicine has its issues, which almost no one is talking about. Since I see these issues from the inside out, I have a moral obligation to discuss them, and find solutions.

The first big issue is that functional medicine has a very fractured and siloed method of delivering results.

What do I mean by that? Have you ever left a functional medicine doctor’s office with five to fifteen different supplements in different formats you’re expected to take at different times?

Do bears p**p in the woods? If you haven’t had that experience of having a countertop or cabinet full of various bottles from your functional practitioner, well, you probably haven’t actually been to a functional practitioner.

But most people just accept that, because they don’t know there’s a better way. I know the better way, so I believe I have a moral obligation to talk about this, even though it makes me a little uncomfortable to do so. So here I am, standing up, and talking about the problems in an industry I've been a part of for the majority of my adult life. But I'm going to do it, and keep doing it.

If functional medicine hasn't worked for you, if you need better solutions, watch my free training, it discusses the better alternative, along with four other key ideas that show us how to reverse chronic illness and optimize our health.

Mainstream medicine is not the problem

If you have eyes to see, western medicine’s may problems cannot be ignored.

Mainstream MDs and nurses are burning out, and they’re leaving the profession in droves.

Patients are faring even worse. Specialist visits are often booked months out when people need immediate help.

The US spends more on health care than any other country, but has far worse outcomes.

Yet.. medicine in the US is also home to massive innovation.

How can such a paradox exist?

Just like your gut, it’s the culture.

The culture that has grown up around mainstream medicine is toxic.

Just like gut bacteria, which take nutrients we eat and either make beneficial molecules or toxins.

Mainstream medicine has a bad case of dysbiosis because it overuses its tools.

The analytical and pharmaceutical tools available today can be used with skill, or misused.

What dictates the path?

Culture.

Even functional medicine is not immune—it’s a more refined version of mainstream medicine, but holds the same reductionist views at its core.

How do we create powerful, regenerative, humanistic, sustainable health culture?

One individual at a time.

We train our clients in a new way to look at health. Starting from the ground up, and growing into advanced awareness of the body, its physiological processes, and its relationship to its environment.

We give you the tools you need to perpetuate a beneficial culture, both within your body and everywhere you go.

You’ll be a seed of good health, a starter culture, influencing everyone you meet.

But you need the training first, and access to our one-of-a-kind tools—the most advanced custom apothecary on earth.

If you want to start a health revolution in your community, starting with your own body, your own family and circle of friends, then you need to start with yourself.

You need to be the healthiest, most vital, agile, sharp-minded person in your circle, and that starts with addressing your biggest health problems first.

Get started by watching our training, and when the training ends, book a call to find out change the world with health, starting with you.

To heal from a major chronic illness, you have only one job:

To stay in the present moment while you execute each step in the process.

You must know each step, or be able to discover them.

Your job is not, for example, to heal your gut even though that’s very important for many.

Most cannot consciously heal the gut through a decision alone.

To do that, we must follow a process, starting with a with a decision.

From that decision, focus only on the steps.

Specific foods in right quantities, time of day, and intention.

The right Herbs and supplements, dosages and timing.

The same process applies to any goal.

I love the example of archery because of its history over thousands of years as form of meditation.

We do not approach each shot with the decision to shoot a perfect bull’s-eye.

You can’t will the arrow into the bullseye. Physics doesn’t work that way, and impossible goals clutter the mind.

We clean up the clutter by removing the impossible goal, and instead set an attainable goal:
Decision, then step-by-step, controlling what we can control, moving with presence and intention.

There’s no magic formula, just consistency.

In archery, or healing, we seek guidance of someone who’s done what we want to do, and coached many others through it.

We learn the process, understand the “why," practice each step until it becomes ingrained, automatic, and subconsciously, flawlessly executed.

There’s one deeper procedure that must occur first:
We must know the deeper "why."

Your “why” will be different from mine, and from anyone else's.

For some, it’s because they want to be the healthiest, most capable person in their world at age 80 or 100.

For others, it’s because they have a big mission in the world.

You need a big “why” to accomplish transformational change in your health.

If you don’t have one, you must build it.

No one can do it for you, but we can help you find it.

If you need help finding your why, or with that step-by-step process, we offer a free strategy call.

You must apply, spots are limited.

In order to qualify for the free call, you must watch our training video in its entirety. Link in bio.

We often encounter common questions about chronic illness, like:

Do you achieve results?

Can you help me?

How are you so sure you can help?

We understand the skepticism and fear surrounding chronic disorders.

Transformational results can be elusive, especially in Western medicine, where the root cause is often overlooked. Functional medicine sometimes falls short due to complex protocols and a focus on physiology while missing the psychological aspects.

Chinese medicine, with its precise symptom and physiology mapping, has stood the test of time for 5000 years. But we don't stop there; we integrate modern approaches.

Our unique approach combines functional medicine, Chinese medicine, European biological medicine, evolutionary nutrition, and psychological healing, delivering consistent results. This series showcases real-world client success stories, like Jon's.

Meet Jon, a Midwest professional with three kids who loves sports. After spending thousands with other practitioners and struggling with severe Long COVID and autoimmune issues, he came to us.

In just eight weeks, our multidisciplinary protocols transformed his life. He went from struggling with fatigue and brain fog to competing in the World Series of Poker and enjoying family vacations.

Jon now feels better than he has in years, thanks to our integrative approach inspired by Ken Wilber's consciousness model. This success is a result of our comprehensive approach to autoimmune disorders, Lyme, Long COVID, and chronic illnesses.

If you or someone you love is dealing with these issues, we're here to help. Start by watching our training video linked in our bio, and if our approach resonates with you, reach out through the links provided at the end of the video.
