How To Stick With Your Long Term Health Goals, Even When It Sucks

    I just finished with a wonderful medical conference in which I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Terry Wahls speak. She so impressive, with the amount of medical experience, knowledge and wisdom she possesses… particularly in the field of autoimmune disorders and how diet impacts our body’s health. Visit her website here if you are interested in learning more about that. That’s not what I loved most, however. The part I loved most was when she talked about helping patients get clear on why they even want to do the work of healing in the first place. She […]

Sudden Loss and Unexpected Grief… Holistic Ways To Help Your Body Find Relief

  I recently became a Death Doula. You would think as a physician we would be taught in detail about the death and dying process in medical school, but we weren’t. Not at all. We were taught how to pronounce someone dead, how to preform advanced life support to try to stave off death, how to sign a death certificate… but never about the intricacies of it: what the body feels and experiences as the soul prepares to leave it, what the dying process looks like, what order the organ systems shut down in and how that looks and feels,

8 Unusual But Highly Effective Ways To Release Unwanted Weight

      Last week I shared with you a few tips on how to release weight that accumulates during times of stress.
