Looking forward to sharing and connecting with mental health colleagues this month at the New Frontiers Summit! With so many threats to health and wellbeing on the horizon, now is the time to come together for our patients and for our communities 🙌❤️

Today I was honored to present alongside my big brother, Matt Smith, M.D. on a topic so close to our hearts! Huge thanks to the California Psychological Association for having us here in Long Beach, CA!

Excited to be featured in The California Psychologist magazine summer edition! Looking forward to sharing more on this important topic at Convention this September in Long Beach!

For some reason health gurus often talk more about some endangered berry from the Amazon as a cure for all that ails us rather than the common sense remedies that are available right in front of us. (Maybe that’s because there isn’t any 💰 in recommending hugs, but I’m probably just cynical 👀) The bottom line is you don’t need to do anything fancy to lower your cortisol and end the stress cycle. Lots of things you have available to you RIGHT NOW can do it. They aren’t glamorous, they don’t cost money, and your body will use them even better.

We are born to love and taught to hate. Most of us have been using words of shame for our bodies since we can remember. Using words of love, acceptance, or appreciation can feel strange at first. The more we practice, the easier it gets. Your body is worthy. You are worthy.

There’s a lot of good waiting for you on the other side of hard relationship work. Even incredibly healthy relationships and healthy people hurt each other from time to time and have to work hard to grow together. The ability to do that mutual healing, in fact, is often what makes couples healthy to begin with. Now, that does NOT mean staying in relationships with partners who are abusive, controlling, manipulative, etc. That might feel like doing hard work at first, but when you’re the ONLY one doing the work, that’s not a good sign. Learning the difference can be a huge benefit of getting support.

Most of us agree that it makes sense to take the direct path to our goals rather than going through a middle man. Yet, we often still struggle to cut out the belief that we need to lose weight as the middle man between ourselves and our health goals. It is not true that weight loss is the only, best, or even a safe path to take to get to your health goals. Pursuing health habits themselves, including things like movement and developing a comfortable relationship with food, is often the best, regardless of your weight.

Saying “yes!” to living your best life doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll lose weight. IT’S STILL WORTH IT.

If you have had a complicated relationship with food and your body, figuring out what, when, and how much to eat is HARD. Even in recovery sometimes we can get stuck into rigid diet culture thinking that things SHOULD be a certain way. Sometimes it’s honestly just too much on your own. That is where I come in.
If you are ready to find more joy in your relationship with food without sacrificing anything you love or setting yourself for more years of out of control eating… Intuitive Eating & Body Confidence might be for you!

Would you be surprised to find that gender affirming care is a part of daily life for most of us? I know it surprised me when I was hit with that truth! I was also struck by how connecting it feels. We are ALL out here doing our best to live our truths. I hope this PRIDE we all have the opportunity to grow in our connectedness and allyship. Sending love to all of you! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍❤️‍🔥
