Sometimes we don’t stay stuck because change is hard.
We stay stuck because what’s unhealthy is familiar.

You can get used to being tired.
You can normalize stress.
You can adapt to inflammation.

But surviving isn’t thriving.

The first step toward real health isn’t just a new supplement or workout plan... it’s releasing the old identity that made those patterns normal.

Growth feels awkward at first.

That’s not a warning sign.
That’s a signal you’re expanding.

Don’t run from it.
Lean in.

Pursue Health Always.

We obsess over protein and calories…
But minerals are what make your biology run.

They regulate nerve signaling.
They balance fluid.
They activate enzymes.
They literally allow your chemistry to happen.

Low energy. Slow recovery. Brain fog. Mood shifts.
Sometimes it’s not about more effort... it’s about missing raw materials.

If you want to understand minerals in a clear, practical way, join me Tuesday, March 3rd at 6:30 pm at Rainbow Blossom in the Highlands for a free talk:
Minerals 101 – What You Need To Know To Supplement & Thrive

You’ll leave with real clarity on what your body actually needs.

Tag someone who needs this.

If you feel doubt right now… that’s not a sign to stop.
It’s a sign that you care.

Confidence isn’t something you wake up with.
It’s something you build.

You build it by acting when you’re unsure.
By following through when it’s inconvenient.
By choosing growth over comfort.

Every time you push through resistance, you collect evidence.
And evidence builds belief.

You don’t need to eliminate doubt.
You need to move with it.

That’s how self-trust is built.

Stay curious. Stay empowered.

We move from the year of the snake, shedding old skin, into the year of the fire horse.

The snake teaches release.
The horse teaches momentum.

But here’s the deeper health truth: You cannot move forward while protecting an identity that keeps you stuck.

If something in your health isn’t working for you... your habits, your routines, your mindset, then this is your moment to shed it.

Transformation doesn’t happen when you tweak the old version of you. It happens when you move like the person you’re becoming.

If this resonates, share it with someone who’s ready to run forward this year.

Stay curious. Stay empowered. Pursue health.

Most people think confidence is something you “work on” mentally.
But in practice, it often starts in the body.

Better sleep.
Consistent movement.
Steadier blood sugar.
Calmer stress response.

When physiology improves, energy improves.
When energy improves, mood stabilizes.
When mood stabilizes, decision-making sharpens.

Confidence isn’t just mindset.
It’s biology.

If you’re working on your health this year, don’t underestimate the power of the basics.

Small, repeatable habits change more than motivation ever will.

I’ve been noticing something more and more in my work and in conversations with patients.

There are two very different philosophies of healthcare operating in America today.

One is rooted in centralized authority and intervention-driven care.

The other emphasizes autonomy, prevention, resilience, and working with the body as an intelligent system.

This isn’t about left or right.
It isn’t generational.
It’s philosophical.

We didn’t eliminate illness in the conventional model.
We changed its shape.

From acute death… to chronic disease.

From short lives… to longer, but often sicker ones.

My work isn’t about rejecting modern medicine.
It’s about re-humanizing it.

Healthcare should invite curiosity, informed consent, and humility.

If you value curiosity over certainty, and responsibility over blind trust... then you're a vital force person!

You may have seen headlines claiming that drinking more than one diet soda per day is linked to a fourfold increase in dementia risk.

That number gets attention. But context matters.

In this study, only 2.3% of participants were in the “more than one per day” group. When individuals with obesity or diabetes were excluded, the association disappeared.

That raises the possibility of reverse causation, where underlying metabolic dysfunction may influence both beverage choices and dementia risk.

Important distinction: This study does not prove diet soda causes dementia.

It does reinforce something simpler.

Diet soda offers no meaningful health benefit. It doesn’t nourish the brain or support metabolic resilience.

Water, mineral water, herbal tea... those are your hydration upgrades.

The link to the study is in the comments for anyone who wants to read it directly.

Curiosity over panic. Always.

A simple reminder from Vital Force Naturopathy and Dr. Swanz.

If you’re feeling tired, foggy, or irritable, start with water.

So many people push through low energy with caffeine or grit, when the body is simply under-hydrated. Hydration supports your brain, digestion, circulation, and nervous system.

Sometimes the most powerful changes come from the basics done consistently.

Stay curious. Stay empowered. Pursue health always!

This Is Your Reminder to Soften...

So many people think that if they want to change habits then the answer is simply more discipline.

But if your nervous system is fried, no amount of pushing will fix it.

Start with regulation: slow your breathing, drop your shoulders, give your body a signal that it’s safe.

Your nervous system sets the tone for your energy, focus, digestion, and sleep.

Health gets easier when you start there.

So much of healthcare is focused on naming the problem…

But real healing often comes from supporting the foundations underneath it.

Holistic medicine doesn’t ignore labs or diagnoses.
It simply asks a bigger question:

What does your body need to function well again?

Lifestyle, stress, sleep, digestion, nourishment, movement...
that’s where sustainable healing begins.

Stay curious. Stay empowered. Pursue health.

02/07/2026

This is your gentle reminder that movement doesn’t have to be complicated.

Even 10 minutes counts.
A walk after dinner.
A stretch before bed.
A few lifts to wake the body up.

Health is built through small, repeatable choices, not an all-or-nothing plan.

Do something tonight that your future body will quietly thank you for.
