Made Whole Herbs

If you struggle with your mental health or addiction, you are at war for your life.

The fact that you’re still here means you haven’t lost that war. But we all know that every war is made up of battles.

You don’t get to decide many of the battles you fight. If the battles last days, weeks, months, or years. All you get to decide is what you do when the trumpet calls. Fight or forfeit.

Sometimes you forfeit. You know this delays victory, but it happens. You ask why. You forgive yourself. You come back.

And then you fight. When you fight, you put on muscle, shrewdness, and the confidence that you can do it again. The next battle probably won’t be easier, but you will be stronger, and your weapons will feel more familiar in your hands.

I talk a lot about finding healing. In God, flow state, therapy, creativity, nature, nourishing food, wild medicinal herbs, detoxing from the sludge of news and social media. I believe 100% in the power of these things. Not just because of their scientific proof, but because they’re what humans have used forever to heal. I’ve watched them heal 115+ clients…and me. But healing does not mean that you are forevermore exempt from struggles, or that your demons die out.

But here’s what I know. There will be a day when your war ends. You decide whether it’s because YOU win or the darkness wins. I wrote this when I was deep in a battle last year, put it on my bathroom mirror, and recited it to myself everyday. I choose to believe that my ultimate victory is inevitable, and I believe that yours is too. Keep seeking healing. Never stop fighting.

If you’re someone who silently suffers while shouldering everyone else’s burdens, consider this perspective.

This isn’t a “try harder” post. In fact, it’s the opposite. Consider all the ways in which our society’s norm encourages you to muffle your own intuition and biology. What would happen if you opted out?

Your autoimmune condition didn’t just appear out of thin air. It didn’t occur because you have bad genetics. It didn’t happen because you have a pharmaceutical deficiency.

There’s a REASON you got sick. There’s a root cause. And my guess is that other than a comment about the “body attacking itself” and “bad genetics,” your doctor never discussed that with you.

Here’s the thing. Modern medicine is amazing at saving your life, but it cannot and does not address the root cause or boast healing of autoimmune conditions. Instead it is constrained to symptom management with medications that host many side effects…some of them making you feel worse than you did before.

Thankfully, this ISN’T the only option. When you identify the root cause of your autoimmune condition and employ the right nutrition, lifestyle changes and herbal medicines, you can heal not only your symptoms, but YOURSELF.

By now, I’ve helped over 110 people heal their fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal chaos, and inflammation. I’ve worked with dozens of common and uncommon autoimmune conditions, helping people take their lives back and live free of painful symptoms. I’ve had several clients obtain approval from their doctors to reduce or titrate off medication for their autoimmune condition because their symptoms and lab markers normalized.

I’ve been privy to the miracle of people healing themselves with strategic nutrition, lifestyle changes, and natural medicines over and over again, and it never ceases to amaze me.

My clients are incredible and crazy dedicated humans, but they are not the lucky exceptions. Your body is designed to self heal. You can do this too.

If you’re ready, comment ‘remission’ and I’ll message you directly.

As long as we believe that a life spent indoors, in the seated position, endlessly hustling and/or working an unfulfilling job, assigning care of our offspring and elders to complete strangers, having “friends” on social media while entirely isolated, getting two days of barefoot time per year while on beach vacation, and binge watching the news or Netflix or IG reels is “normal”…not only pharmaceuticals but more natural forms of biohacking will remain billion dollar industries.

Don’t get me wrong, biohacking can jumpstart healing by reminding the body what’s normal after decades of an abnormal (see above) existence. I have recommended every single one of the listed practices to a client at one point or another. But these tools CANNOT and were never meant to heal an abnormal existence, disconnected from nature, other humans, and spirit. They should help you along your way to healing, but they should not be your final destination.

Many people fall prey to the belief that it takes extreme and PAINFUL diet and lifestyle changes to heal. This creates an internal resistance to healing, and keeps them stuck and sick. On the contrary, I’ve seen that simple, sustained practices, many of which feel GOOD, are the things that make the greatest difference in moving from chronic illness to vitality. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel so good on vacation at the ocean, it’s not just the temporary stress relief. The ocean ACTUALLY heals your body and mind. Here’s just a few examples ☝🏻
