Healing and awakening do not move in straight lines.

They move in spirals 🌀

What looks like a setback is often a return
to the same lesson,
the same pattern,
the same truth,
but with more awareness than before.

This is not failure.
It is depth.

This is a guided journey where functional medicine, nervous system science, and soul-level remembrance come together. We work with the body, the mind, the emotions, and the deeper wisdom beneath symptoms so healing becomes integrated, embodied, and lasting.

If you feel like your body is asking you to slow down, listen, and remember who you are beneath the patterns, this space is for you ✨

Every year ends with a kind of exhale.

This one, I’m letting go of the belief that I have to “earn” rest to deserve it.

Real detox isn’t physical… it’s the quiet undoing of beliefs that keep the body in tension.

What belief are you ready to detox before you step into the new year? 💛

🧠 Forgiveness lowers stress chemistry.

In a 5-week NIH-funded study, increases in forgiveness were directly linked to decreased stress and improved mental health (Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 2016).

That’s not just mindset — that’s measurable biology.

When you forgive, your cortisol, inflammation, and vagal tone all shift toward healing.

🌿 Forgiveness is the most powerful detox you’ll ever do.

Forgiveness changes biology.

Studies show it lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammatory cytokines, and increases vagal tone — markers of safety and parasympathetic healing.

Chronic resentment keeps the body in stress mode; forgiveness moves it back into repair.

You can’t detox your way to health if your nervous system still feels under attack.

🌿 Release the chemistry of anger.

Make space for repair.

You don’t detox to become pure.
You detox to help your body remember how to heal. 🌿

Your liver, gut, lymph, kidneys, and skin are already working for you every day.

Healing isn’t about punishment, restriction, or “cleansing” yourself of something bad.

It’s about removing what overwhelms your system and restoring the conditions that allow your biology to do what it was designed to do.

When detox feels harsh, forceful, or fear driven, the nervous system tightens and healing slows.

When detox feels supportive, safe, and respectful, the body responds.
This is root cause medicine.
This is nervous system aware healing.
This is remembering, not fixing. ✨

Save this if detox has ever felt confusing or heavy.

Share it with someone who’s tired of extreme protocols.

Your body is always detoxing — that’s biology.

But healing happens on more than one layer.

➡️ Physical: Your liver, kidneys, lymph, gut, and skin clear what doesn’t serve you.
➡️ Emotional: Stress chemistry, grief, and repressed feelings shift hormones and inflammation.
➡️ Energetic: The patterns, identities, and environments you’ve outgrown start to fall away.

When you support all three layers — biochemistry, nervous system, and energy — the process stops feeling like “detox” and starts feeling like release.

🌿 You’re not cleansing to become pure. You’re remembering that your body already knows how to heal.

In The Unforgetting Project, this is where functional medicine meets remembrance — the science of the body woven with the wisdom of the soul.

💫 Save this for when healing feels messy. You might just be clearing space for who you’re becoming.

Grateful for this team and the care they bring every day.

Medicine is never a solo act. It happens through trust, commitment, and people who genuinely show up for one another.

Feeling thankful as we close out the year. 🎄

If you feel worse before you feel better, your body isn’t failing — it’s recalibrating.

When you start a detox, new supplement, or deeper healing work, your body begins to mobilize what’s been stored — toxins, stress chemistry, even emotions.

That release can feel messy:
🧠Headaches or fatigue
😤 Brain fog or irritability
🤝 Skin flares or digestive shifts

It’s not regression — it’s movement.

In functional and environmental medicine, we call this a healing reaction — the moment your system begins clearing faster than it can eliminate.

Support your drainage pathways: hydrate, rest, sweat, and nourish.

Calm your nervous system: breathe, ground, and soften.

💫 Healing isn’t linear.
It’s cyclical.

You’re not breaking down — you’re breaking open.

Feeling worse before you feel better isn’t failure — it’s physiology.

When you start a detox, mold protocol, new supplement, or deeper healing work, your body finally begins to mobilize what’s been stored — toxins, stress hormones, even old emotions.

Those chemicals and metabolites have to move through your liver, lymph, kidneys, gut, and skin before they can leave.

If those pathways are backed up or your nervous system is still in fight-or-flight, you may feel:
➡️ Headaches or fatigue
➡️ Skin breakouts
➡️ Brain fog or mood shifts
➡️ Temporary flares of old symptoms

It’s not regression — it’s recalibration.

In environmental and functional medicine, we see this as a healing reaction: the moment your body stops storing and starts releasing.

And in The Unforgetting Project, we recognize that release for what it truly is — the body remembering its natural rhythm.

Healing isn’t linear. It’s a spiral of remembering, repairing, and rebalancing.

💫 Save this for the next time your progress feels messy.

You’re not going backward — your body is catching up with your truth.
