I did 37 days in a row of our core session (compression therapy, infrared sauna, and hot/cold therapy that included at least one 5-minute cold plunge per day). Hi, if you don’t know me, my name is Tammie and I’m the owner of Augment! I’m a busy wife, mom of 2 beautiful daughters, friend, lover of many hobbies, 46-year-old who decided to risk it all to add business owner to my resume. This journey of opening up Augment is very much a personal one for me and although it’s a little outside of my comfort zone to share my story; I do feel like it’s important for all of you to know my why and I also know it could help some of you who experience similar stresses in everyday life. Taking you all back to the beginning, I lost my mom to a long and grueling battle with cancer when she was just 44 years old and I was in my early 20s. She was sick with cancer for most of my childhood. That experience deeply affected me on a level that my 21-year-old brain could not comprehend. It also sparked a lifelong interest in what I should be doing to stay healthy and prevent cancer as well as later in life digging deeper into understanding what causes cancer. Fast forward to 2017, my husband, myself and 3 of our friends were at a country music festival in Las Vegas that ended in the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States where we were lucky to have survived. The fear I felt that night and the scene I witnessed will forever live in my head. That experience forever changed my life in a way I neither wanted nor was prepared for. Three years after that experience, my body felt broken, like it was shutting down, and I was riddled with piles of symptoms that kept stacking up. I sought answers from so many different doctors who then referred me to other doctors and specialists. I saw therapists, trainers, and other alternative health clinics and paid thousands of dollars for all the tests, scans, treatments, medicines and supplements only to get misdiagnosed, put on unnecessary medications, told I needed surgeries, and never got any solid answers or to the root of what was causing it all. I’ve always believed in our bodies ability to heal and that kept me going throughout the years and searching for answers. I learned so much along the way, found therapies that did work for me, and made many life changes. But I did not start to fully heal until I started to focus on one thing. No one in my experience ever mentioned to me the correlation between the physical symptoms I was experiencing and the past trauma I had and how it all directly impacted my nervous system. I cannot say this loud enough….that 37 days I did was a complete nervous system RESET that I had been wanting and trying to achieve for years! It brings to surface the question of why our nervous system is never talked about?! It’s the root cause of SO many different symptoms/pains/illnesses/diseases! We live in such a fast-paced, high stress, toxin overloaded world that it’s hard for our nervous systems not to be dysregulated. Before my 37 days, I was doing all the right things but I was doing them with a dysregulated nervous system. And now, everything that I had been doing before is so much more effective. And this is my why that I get asked so often. I choose to see the silver-lining in all my life experiences. I felt like a prisoner in my own body for so many years and it’s so freeing and liberating to take that control back. My PTSD/anxiety/depression is part of my story but it doesn’t define me. It has made me so much more passionate to share what I’ve learned and help others who have gone through similar experiences and don’t know where to start or are feeling stuck in their routine. At Augment, we do not judge. Everyone’s story is different, why you seek us out may be completely different than the person sitting next to you. Some come in for a recovery day after a hard workout, athletes after game day, maybe you have a stressful job, maybe you are a parent in survival mode juggling life balance, or maybe you have gone through or are going through something extremely difficult like cancer, grief, or addiction. Don’t want to be in your swimsuit around other people? I got you! We have a private room where you can do a core session by yourself. We also do not gatekeep at Augment. We tell and share all the secrets that actually work for our bodies. Along with my 37 days of a core session, I also ate a clean, anti-inflammatory diet (I have good, healthy recipes, meal prep ideas, and lots of good tips to share!), I meditated and did breathwork during each of my sessions, I walked outside every day, I worked on resetting my circadian rhythm and balancing cortisol levels, I incorporated our red light therapy and biocharger, I did gentle yoga, and I did lymphatic movements (while in the sauna!); all this and remember what I told you earlier, while being a wife, mom, and new business owner. Everything I did was with intention and purpose. Some days, it wasn’t fun and it wasn’t easy, but by the end, it was totally worth it. Nothing beats the adrenaline rush you get when you can stay calm in the cold plunge for 5-6 minutes! My sleep is better, I have better energy throughout my day, less brain fog, more focus and creativity, mental clarity was huge for me, recovery from workouts is better and I’m stronger, and the list goes on, so many good benefits! The most profound reset I’ve ever done. Do you need to do 37 days in a row….no not at all but my point is that Augment has all of the tools you need to reduce stress and be able to handle it more effectively and become more grounded which in turn, is going make your body more balanced and you will be able to heal more effectively. This isn't about becoming a new person; it's about becoming a better version of yourself! If you are ready to take back control of your health and this sounds like something you need in your life, please reach out to me and we will get you started on a plan that works for you! For all of you who stuck with me this far, thank you for listening!
