In this culture of dieting, hunger is upheld as virtuous. You are sent the message that you are somehow doing it “right” if you are hungry. It deems hunger as acceptable, even virtuous. But feeling full, that’s a different story. ⁣ ⁠
⁠
Feeling full and allowing yourself to eat to satisfaction is demonized. Instead, you are encouraged to follow external food guidelines that restrict your intake to avoid feeling full (the internet is full of them- no pun intended 😉) ⁣ ⁠
⁠
And what nonsense! In the absence of diet culture, both feelings would be considered neutral. You are hungry, and then you eat, and then you are full. Sometimes more than others. That’s it. ⁠
⁠
So why does this matter? Because knowing this can help you be kind to yourself as you learn to experience fullness in all its capacities. To finally invite that feeling in and allow yourself to feel it, which I know can be really tough. ⁠
⁠
So today, I want you to notice what your judgments are around being full. Do you have any fears? Are the fears things that have been told to you and you have internalized? Is there anything you would like to stop saying to yourself about fullness? How about anything kind?⁠

Let’s be honest: the tissue-based model of manual therapy is not just inaccurate. It’s boring. It’s a dry story. A story about tight muscles, stuck fascia, knots, and misalignments. A story where the practitioner “fixes” the passive client, and where therapeutic success is measured in inch...

"Nothing works better for nerves than warm, kind, slow, clean hands, attached to a focused human brain, so that two nervous systems can communicate with each other kinesthetically, haptically." Diane Jacobs

Got back pain?
Consider...The cluneal nerves are a group of pure sensory nerves (superior, medial or middle, and inferior) that provide sensory supply to the buttocks. This article deals with superior cluneal nerve entrapment. It is contentious whether cluneal nerve entrapment is an important cause of chronic low back pain. See also the less common middle cluneal nerve entrapment and inferior cluneal nerve entrapment.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services was narrowly confirmed by the Senate on Thursday.

The final vote was 52 to 48.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, who overcame polio at a young age, was the sole Republican to oppose Kennedy and vote no. Democrats were unanimous in their opposition to Kennedy.

As an alternative wellness practitioner I believe it is important to make it very clear that I am not a supporter of MAHA (Make American Healthy Again).

I have grave, grave concerns about RFK and his plan as secretary of health and human services. Hold each other mutually aid close folks. It's going to get harder and harder for us all (and it has already been very hard for a lot of folks)
