Health information from a functional medicine doctor

02/19/2026

What if your prescriptions were only part of the healing equation?

This week, I sat down with integrative pharmacist, TEDx speaker, and wellness educator Dr. Emlah Tubuo for a powerful conversation about whole-person health, intentional living, and how modern healthcare often treats symptoms while missing the deeper story.

Together, we explore how common medications can quietly deplete essential nutrients, why chronic disease often develops silently, and how education and prevention can change long-term outcomes.

What if all of our pharmacists and doctors had the time and energy to PROTECT and PREVENT the progression of disease?

When I was in the thick of reversing my autoimmune condition, I needed something that didn't exist yet.

A place where someone just got it. The exhaustion, the overwhelm, the frustration of doing everything right and still not feeling well.

A place with honest conversations, fresh perspectives, and a voice that put me back in the driver's seat of my own healing.

So I built it.

The Push Pause to Heal Podcast is officially here. We're talking real root causes, lifestyle over protocols, and learning to trust what your body is trying to tell you — with incredible guests who bring new ways of thinking about healing.

Healthcare in America has become unrecognizable.

I say this as someone who spent 15 years inside the system as a family physician, and 30 years as a patient with an autoimmune disease.

There are brilliant, caring doctors out there. Nurses who show up every day. Researchers doing incredible work.

But the system?

It's not built for your healing. It's built for profit.

The focus now is on AI diagnostics, wearables, advanced testing, biohacking... all things you have to pay for, all directing you to look outside yourself for answers.

(And yes, some of these tools can be very helpful. But they've been piled on as the starting point instead of utilized judiciously after we get the basics dialed in.)

Here's what gets lost:

Most of your healing doesn't require expensive technology.

It requires you to slow down:

To check in with your body instead of overriding it.
To treat yourself with kindness and care.
To prioritize sleep, real food, time outside, joyful movement.
To reconnect with nature and your loved ones.

These are the foundations of health. The things that create the environment for your body to actually heal.

But you'll rarely hear about them in a standard healthcare visit.

Because there's no billing code for "rest more." No prescription for "be kinder to yourself."

Yet that's exactly where transformation begins.

Health Begins Here. 🎙️

When you look in the mirror and think “who is this” or “how did I get here?”...that’s not just a cue to practice more affirmations.

It’s a signal that something deeper needs attention.

The person staring back at you isn’t joyful. She’s running on fumes.

Her spark is gone.

She’s doing everything “right” but still feels wrong.

Here’s the truth: the most radical act of self-love isn’t accepting this as your new normal. 👋

Just because exhaustion is “common” for moms or working women doesn’t mean it is normal!

Self-love doesn’t mean settling. It means listening.

I’ve always loved this quote by Nayyirah Waheed:
“And I said to my body, softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.’”

Your body isn’t asking you to love your symptoms unconditionally.

It’s asking you to finally pay attention.

So this weekend, for Valentine’s Day, do something truly loving:

Push pause. Ask your body what it needs. Then listen.

Because the woman you’re searching for in the mirror? She’s still in there.

She’s just waiting for you to create the space for her to come back.

The conversations I’ve had behind closed doors with clients, with colleagues, with women who are desperate for answers, have been the most transformative part of my work.

So I’m bringing those conversations to you.

A new podcast where we talk about the things no one else is saying:

Why your stress is invisible (and how to finally see it)
What’s really driving your chronic symptoms
How to heal without expensive testing or endless protocols
The lifestyle foundations that actually move the needle
How to take YOUR health back into YOUR hands – not the hands of another expert or specialist

This isn’t another health podcast telling you what to eat or what supplements to take.

This is about slowing down long enough to understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Stay tuned! 🔥

This would've wrecked me 10 years ago.

Back when I was managing RA with meds but still exhausted, inflamed, and running on fumes...shoveling snow would've meant pain for days. I probably wouldn't have tried and thought, "that's for someone with a healthy body."

Now? My body works WITH me, not against me. I know I'm healthy.

That's what happens when you stop covering up symptoms and start addressing root causes.

Your body has an incredible capacity to heal when you give it what it needs: real food, restorative sleep, stress management, and movement that supports (not drains) you.

If you're doing "all the things" but still feel like you're dragging through life, you're not broken. You just haven't been shown how to build your foundation yet.

(Also yes, Ohio winter is relentless this year. Send help. ❄️)

Most people come to functional medicine believing healing comes from outside of themselves via the right test, the right supplement, the right protocol.

We do things differently. We start by creating the conditions where your body can actually heal.

Through small, doable changes, education, and consistent support, we help you reconnect with your body, shift your identity from ‘patient’ to ‘participant,’ and build a foundation that lasts.

When you feel seen, heard, and supported, health stops feeling hard. It becomes natural.

This is a new way of thinking. A return instead of an upgrade. If you’re ready to stop searching outside yourself and start building health from the foundation up, from the inside out, we’d be honored to walk with you.

Health begins here.

This month, I wrote about practicing and strengthening Joy because even in the depths of a winter storm, on a Monday, and in February, cultivating joy is important (perhaps arguably MOST important).

I dive into all things Joy, why we need it, how it benefits our health, and how to start a practice of your own.

Time isn’t actually a busy woman’s most valuable resource.

Sure, it’s up there!

But the most valuable resource is her health. Here’s why:

When we’re run down, anxious, fatigued, or in pain, our time is usually spent just scraping by: Resting our heads on the desk, scrolling for a mental escape, or running to prepare for the next thing.

No matter how much free time we have, it never feels like enough. It’s constantly slipping through our fingers.

But when our health is optimized, like when we have steady energy and fewer symptoms, our time feels different.

We’re more creative, more present, and more engaged in the things that truly matter. Maybe we’re daydreaming instead of scrolling! Free time starts to feel like actual free time, not just a quick break from burnout.

This is what life is all about. ✨

Our health determines how we get to experience the time we have.

How would you like to experience your time?

We help clients reclaim their time, energy, and vitality. Ready for a change?
