Truth! We were never meant to see or hear about ALL of the awful things happening in our world. At one point in time, we only knew what was happening in our villages, in our neighborhoods. Our nervous system can’t handle the overflow of non-stop (often negative) information we now have access to. Put your phone down, shut off the tv, get outside and hug someone real, you’ll feel better!

What you feed your body with nutrition matters, but what are your serving your head and your heart on a daily basis?  
 
If you want to learn more about the science and practical application of this, this is something I talk about at length on my on my podcast, in articles on Drwillcole.com and with telehealth patients to improve their labs.

I don’t care what example was taught in childhood, it’s not “manly” or “tough” to suppress or avoid your feelings. Your friends, coworkers, spouse, children and family can tell when there is something wrong.

I said what I said!

Speak Up, Reach Out

🧠💙 June is Men’s Mental Health Month 💙🧠

Every 60 seconds, we lose a man to su***de.
That’s 525,000 men every year — husbands, brothers, fathers, friends.

🚫 It’s not weak to feel.
🚫 It’s not weak to speak.
🚫 It’s not weak to ask for help.

👨‍⚕️ Men are less likely to seek support, yet struggle deeply.
Let’s break the stigma. Let’s change the narrative.

❌ MAN UP
✅ SPEAK UP

You matter. Your mental health matters. 💚

Don’t second guess it. Send the text, make the call, check on people you love.

Ooooof. A good (and spicy!) reminder for all my big-hearted friends!! Especially as we approach a season that it is SUPER easy to ignore our boundaries!

“Unconditional love does not mean unconditional tolerance.”

Don’t forget to take care of yourself this season, too!!

So true! When I work with couples, one of the first things we talk about is how love isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice.

Relationships are hard sometimes, and messy, and truly connecting with our partner requires vulnerability. Being vulnerable is hard, especially in the world we live in today.
