People say they want to heal, but sometimes healing isn’t about adding more things. Often, it’s about releasing and that can be more difficult, but also much more powerful ✨

You can’t out-supplement your way to health. They are there to support, enhance, balance and replace what you’re not getting from the fundamentals of wellness. The best “supplements” are vitamin J= Joy, Vitamin S = Sleep, Vitamin F = healthy food, Things Like movings your body, connecting and feeling supported by people and choosing your wellbeing over expectations of others are the supplements we need to optimize health with or without medications.

Some days my work with addiction and mental health is unbearably heavy.

I sit with people who have survived things no human should have to survive.

Someone intentionally overdosed more than 30 times and is still here.
A child given he**in by their own parent, then sold for drugs.
Young adults and teenagers pulled out of s*x trafficking.
Someone pulled the trigger and the bullet was redirected away from the brain and now relives that every day.

THIS IS JUST A TUESDAY

yeah, this work is stressful and It’s emotionally expensive. It stays with you long after the day ends. I need to keep up my own self care without guilt.

People still ask why do I do it? I frequently ask too…

Because beneath the chaos, the trauma, the addiction, and the complete wreckage… there is still a human being who didn’t choose any of this.

Because survival is not the same thing as healing and someone has to be willing to sit in that space long enough for healing to even become possible.

Because hope doesn’t always show up loud and shiny. Sometimes it whispers, “What if this time is different?”

Because addiction and a lot of mental health diagnoses are survival strategies that outlived their usefulness. Well, this is my perspective.

Because when someone has been unseen their entire life, being witnessed can be the first crack where healing starts.

I sit with humans whose nervous systems learned chaos before safety. People who were harmed by the very ones who were supposed to protect them. People whose brains adapted to survive things no one should ever endure.

I hold the stories not because I can fix them, but because being witnessed without judgment can change a nervous system, a brain, a life.

This work breaks your heart.
And yet somehow… it keeps it wide open...

In yoga we used to say as you age you get more stiff, but it’s really the lack of movement that makes us stiff. Same with the brain, if you don’t use it, move it and keep the neural connections firing, it’s not going to work as well.

Supporting your brain and body with movement, good blood sugar control, stress reduction, nutritional cofactors for proper neurotransmitter function, adequate hydration and reducing oxidative stress and/or keeping detox pathways moving will help you feel your best!

Medicine doesn’t have to come in a pill and the best type is usually free!

Our bodies do so much for us every day. When we feel sad, anxious, down or frustrated just think of this one piece of your spine just holding you up! He’s so cute!!! Even when we feel our bodies go against us, there is always something behind the scenes trying to help us through

Genes are ONE part of the story. Epigenetics are what we should look at and think about when deciding who gets what. how we talk to patients should be from a place of grounded honest risk mixed with compassionate and positive possibility with a splash of motivational awareness for change. Nocebo is just a powerful as placebo!
