Kelly challenged me to a "joy and happiness" session, and though I fell asleep the first time, I completed it the second round, feeling a profound sense of joy and peace. The woman next to me may have thought I was a little nutty, but I didn’t mind—it felt amazing!

  • In this episode, I dive deep into a question that’s been on my mind for weeks: “Am I helping?” It’s something I’ve been reflecting on as I consider my experience in the traditional medical community. After 17 years in the field, I’ve seen firsthand how the system often focuses on treating symptoms rather than empowering patients to take control of their health.

    I share my own journey—how I tried to fit in, how it led to frustration, and why I finally decided to break away from the conventional mold. I now prioritize a holistic view that considers diet, lifestyle, thought patterns, and energy as key components to resolving chronic health conditions.

    Key Takeaways:

    The Limitations of Traditional Medicine for Chronic Conditions:

    While traditional medicine is invaluable for acute traumas and emergencies, it often falls short for complex, chronic health issues. My experience revealed that patients are frequently encouraged to seek solutions externally, which can lead to feelings of disempowerment.

    The Power Within You to Heal:

    The biggest lesson I’ve learned: You have everything inside of you to heal chronic conditions. But we've been conditioned to look outside for answers. By shifting the focus inward, we can explore how lifestyle changes, diet, mental frameworks, and energy alignment can bring transformative results.

    My Personal Struggle to “Fit In”:

    I spent a lot of my career trying to fit into the traditional medical framework, but it only led to frustration and feeling disconnected from what I truly saw working for people. Now, I’m choosing to speak my truth and share what I believe works best—even if it means standing out.

    An Invitation to Reflect:

    I invite you to question: What chronic health conditions might you be able to address by looking inward rather than seeking external fixes? Consider how you can shift your focus to holistic, root-cause healing approaches rather than band-aid solutions. Discussion Points: Why do we often default to external solutions for health conditions? The role of mindset, energy, and lifestyle in healing. Real-world examples of people who have healed chronic conditions by taking a more holistic approach. How to start reclaiming your health from the inside out. Actionable Takeaways: Journal Prompt: Reflect on a health issue you’ve been struggling with. What might happen if you started looking inward—considering your diet, mindset, or energy—rather than seeking the next external fix? Experiment: Try making one small shift in your diet or daily routine and observe how it impacts your energy and overall health. Final Thoughts:

    I’m choosing to share my experience openly because I believe in the power of integrative, patient-centered approaches. My hope is that by asking this question, “Am I helping?”, I’m encouraging you to ask yourself the same. How can you start becoming your own best health advocate?

    Tune in, reflect, and let’s embark on this journey together!
