    What's Your Medicine?

    We are at a time when people are asking, "what are my options?" because the old way of doing things isn't working anymore. We are conditioned to think "medicine" in the conventional way, although medicine is all around us, medicine is what lights us up, medicine is is what heals and helps us grow through our mind, our body, our emotions, energies, and more

    Nothing Is Absolute!

    Probably one of the key "universal principles" to ones health...Nothing Is Absolute This is a mantra I use with my professional clients and my patients to help empower them in their own health, or uncovering blockages in their patients. Tune in while I share examples such as: Their story is not your story A lab test is a view in to uncover something not seen, or confirm something believed to be seen A diagnosis is only to get us to hopefully look in the right direction The body has an inherent ability to heal when we provide it with the right environment A genetic trait or mutation is not a guarantee of disease Pharmacogenomics are only one piece of the puzzle Why you need to know about NNT (number needed to treat) in relation to medical interventions
