This booklet explores a broader approach. It looks at how nutrition, resistance training, gut health, inflammation, and hormone signaling all work together. The focus is not just on weight loss, but on restoring metabolic regulation and strengthening the systems that support long-term health.

My goal is simple: help people understand how to integrate modern therapies with clinical nutrition and herbal medicine.

Metabolic health is not just about eating less. It’s about rebuilding the body’s regulatory capacity.

More to come. The booklet is a free download at this link:

Master Class
> Unlocking the Rib Cage: Mobilization and Medical Massage Techniques for Respiratory Health and Injury Rehabilitation
> This Workshop is for Licensed Massage Therapists and all Healthcare Professionals

Are you ready to enhance your skills in treating respiratory conditions through targeted mobilization, medical massage, and holistic therapy techniques? Join us for this comprehensive workshop designed to address a range of respiratory issues, including COPD, asthma, restricted breathing in chronic smokers and va**rs, and the lingering effects of long COVID.

This hands-on workshop focuses on unlocking the potential of the thoracic and rib cage regions to improve respiratory function and overall lung capacity. Participants will learn specific mobilization techniques, medical massage protocols, and therapeutic interventions aimed at relieving tension and restoring freedom of movement in the rib cage, diaphragm, and thoracic spine.

Additionally, we will explore the use of castor oil packs, herbal-infused oils, and essential oils to support respiratory health and relaxation. These natural therapies are known to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease breathing, making them valuable tools in respiratory rehabilitation and wellness routines.

Through expert guidance and practice, attendees will gain the tools to effectively address breathing restrictions, improve air flow, and support patients in regaining optimal respiratory health. Whether you're a massage therapist, physical therapist, or healthcare provider, this workshop provides practical skills for working with a wide range of respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions.

At American Health Source, our workshops are about more than learning techniques. They are about people coming together to learn, to grow, and to serve.

Through our Building a Healing Community programs, we bring practitioners together who care deeply about their work, their patients, and the communities they serve. Each workshop is an opportunity to deepen understanding, refine hands-on skills, and reconnect with the purpose that first drew many of us to the healing arts.

Whether you are seeking continuing education, professional renewal, or simply a supportive learning environment, you are welcome here.
