This is so frustrating!😕

As a health-wellness coach, I often reach out to a client's primary care provider:

🔹️To review an herbal protocol or bioidenticals
🔹️To discuss protocol

Rarely do I get a return call.

Our goal as practitioners is to build a team of devoted members who serve the patient-client.

A team could consist of:

1. Primary Dr./NP/PA
2.Health coach
3. Chiropractic care/massage therapy and other body treatments
4. Nutritionist

Who is on your dream team?

Experience any stress this week?

The weekend is the time to allow your body to recover from stress.

It's important to be intentional about weaving in ways to disengage from the fast pace and stress of the week.

Keeping your body in a constant state of stress will incite inflammation, affect gut health and adrenals, evoke anxiety, cause brain fog...do I need to list more ?

Tips to mindfully recharge:

1️⃣ Eat nutritious foods rather than binge eat

2️⃣ Get outside in nature🌲🌳

3️⃣ Engage in movement (garden, bike, walk, sketch, etc.)🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚵🚵‍♀️

4️⃣ Connect with your favorite humans, your people💕

5️⃣ Journal--- reflect on the week and ask yourself what worked? What didn't work? What will you keep, improve, start, stop doing to minimize stress?

6️⃣ Explore something new or revisit someplace familiar

Are you using this word incorrectly?🗣

We've morphed the word "diet" into an action rather than its original form as a noun to describe your eating plan.

When you say "diet" it triggers layers of emotion for people that involves problematic eating behaviors.🤦‍♀️

So in my practice as a health-wellness coach, I make it a point NOT to use the word diet.🚫

Many of you require a disease-specific eating plan that will help restore your health and well-being.

🔑 So I call that an "eating life." After all, you want to cultivate a sustainable eating life that nourishes and nurtures your body back to health.

🔑 Once you reach the level of managing your chronic dusease or health crisis, an eating plan can then be modified to optimize your overall health.

🔑 Dieting is not sustainable and too often produces short-term results. Diets do not offer lifestyle and habit change.

If you need an eating plan, I design client-centered and disease-specific or health-need specific meal plans.

Is your connection bad?

Are you engaging in selective listening?

Western medicine treats the symptoms without investigating the cause or challenging you to change eating or lifestyle habits.

Are you clinging to a problematic health habit hoping that a prescription will bide you some time before you really have to make a change?

Often we forget the impact lifestyle choices and habits have on our bodies.

Tips:

1. Get help with making long-term lifestyle change
2. Find an herbal protocol for your chronic disease
3. Take a whole-body approach to healing and restoring health.
4. Keep a food or wellness journal

It's essential...

for your health-wellness protocol to evolve as you progress in your recovery journey.

Staying informed about the latest research and treatments regarding your disease equips you to make informed decisions.

One way to stay informed is to attend seminars, webinars, and worships offered by professionals who are literate about chronic disease.

💣 Truth bomb

A prescription typically (I believe in miracles) do not eradicate chronic disease, especially a stealth disease like Lyme.

To effectively restore and optimize your health, it requires a multi-level, multi-faceted approach (whole-body).

🔹️Food/eating life (the greatest obstacle for most people)
🔹️Supplements and bio-identicals based upon the needs of your body.
🔹️Spiritual/faith studies show that people who have a deep faith are more resilient
🔹️ Body therapies
🔹️ Detoxification
🔹️Community/Support
🔹️Stress Management
🔹️Sleep hygiene
🔹️Exercise/movement

If you are diagnosed with a chronic disease and your healthcare provider's only solution is a prescription...

BREAK UP/DIVORCE THE PRACTICE then find a practitioner who embraces a holistic approach (for health insurance purposes many nurse practitioners support a whole body approach).

You may need to find an alternative or integrative practice.

Relapse in your health or problematic health habit?

It happens.

Reflect on the circumstances prior to your relapse:

1.What was different?
2. What needs to change?
3. What worked?

Maintain a journal to record symptoms and circumstances.

Keep going... in spite of an obstacle. 💕

Life is like that. We do our best to provide 100%, but somedays we can only offer 90% or 80%.

Here's the deal...

You are the customer PAYING for a service who happens to be a doctor/NP/PA.

If you request a blood test for, oh say, Lyme disease, and there is ANY resistance THEN it is time to get assertive (not aggressive).

Most of the time, your insurance company will pay for the ELISA and the Western Blot which is a basic baseline. These two tests aren't totally reliable, but it starts the conversation. Gets the ball rolling.

The CDC recommends that doctors first order an ELISA to screen for Lyme disease and then confirm Lyme disease with a Western blot @lymedisease.org

So the CDC recommends...which means your healthcare provider should comply.

Then while you are asking for the Lyme test, which EVERYONE should get annually (seriously), ask for labs in any or every area that might indicate a deficiency or red flag.

If your healthcare provider doesn't comply with your request, FIRE HIM!

Move on. Before you make an appointment at a new practice, ask if Lyme disease testing is available.

I know what you're thinking...

Is this supplement, tincture, new habit, body therapy, routine, etc. going to work this time?

You probably have a drawer and cabinet crammed with bottles of bio-identicals and supplements that you never finished.

It can be frustrating. I know.

Restoring your health will take time, holistic detective work, and goal setting.

Be kind to yourself. Don't give up and celebrate EVERY victory---no matter how small.

Will you ever recover?

Yep, you will. Trust me, you will get better.

It may not be on YOUR time frame but when you follow an evidence-based protocol, eradicate problematic health behaviors, and allow your body time to heal,

You will see results...they may come slowly but small steps lead to transformation.

One of the MOST effective practices is to chronical your journey. Write it down.

Everything.

➡️ How your body responds to YOUR protocol
➡️ How being ill makes you feel
➡️ List your side effects/symptoms
➡️ Name your fears
➡️ Describe how you want to feel against the backdrop of how you feel
➡️ Record information you gather about the disease
➡️ Write about your where you see yourself 1️⃣month, 3️⃣ months, 6️⃣ months, and a year from now. Dream and plan for the healthy YOU.

To battle Lyme/chronic disease STRATEGICALLY...you need BOAF!

And in some cases, you will need a team of practitioners to effectively restore your health.

Once you have a diagnosis, getting a protocol is the next step.

Then, formulate a health plan designed for your specific needs.

Maybe you need to break a problematic health habit before you will begin to see progress?

Perhaps you have other side effects that need to be addressed.

Recovery is so much more than a prescription.

Book a Discovery call to discuss your specific chronic health needs.

It would be nice if my health insurance covered holistic treatments.

Sadly, certain chronic disease like Lyme respond favorably to holistic treatments. But you have to.pay out of pocket. And treatments are expensive 💰💰💰

Lyme disease skeptic: respond kindly, confidently, and assertively not aggressively.

Evidence-based research is on your side. Herbal protocols have been used effectively for centuries.

Herbs, phytochemical superheroes, contain unique and beneficial compounds:

Anti-inflammatory properties

Antibacterial

Antimicrobial

Antioxidant

Digestion and gut health

Hormone Regulating

Immune Boosting

Stress-reducing and resistance

You may need to combine a carefully crafted antibiotic protocol with your herbal protocol.

Know which antibiotic works best with your diagnosis.

The Western medicine mentality conditions you to rely on a prescription to heal you body. That is only a fraction of the solution (if at all). Combating a chronic disease like Lyme requires a lifestyle change that includes a multi-faceted approach to recovery. And it will take TIME. It's not an instantaneous process.

It's simple but necessary. Take a quick 15-20 minute walk in nature to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

Chronic stress adversely affects your immune system, gut health, adrenals and other body systems.

If you combat chronic disease or manage a health crisis, it is ESSENTIAL to devise a stress management plan.

While you are walking:

🚶‍♀️Take deep breaths
🚶‍♀️ Engage your sense of hearing, sight, and smell. OBSERVE what is in bloom, what the current season showcases, what captivates your attention.
🚶‍♀️Pray a prayer of gratitude
🚶‍♀️During your walk, leave behind the issue that evokes stress

After 15-20 minutes you will feel relaxed and ready to re-engage with your day🌻

Here's what to do to help restore your health.

Pick 1️⃣ bad habit to change.

Spend 90 days transforming the problematic health habit into a new healthy practice.

Don't try to change more than one bad habit at a time.

When you have cultivated a rhythm then move to the next habit.

What bad habit do you want to change?

I've heard it so MANY times from the medical community...

That chronic disease, Lyme disease for example, and chronic illnesses can't be overcome with a holistic or integrative approach.

The science supports integrative and holistic approaches...just not the CDC or FDA.🙄

Herbs and food have been around for how long? We need to maximize there value and gifts.

There is a time and duration for pharmaceuticals but first we have to engage with the PATIENT/CLIENT and determine what works best for her health situation.

Patients/Clients are humans NOT statistics, numbers, or studies who deserve our attention (eye contact, empathy, kindness) and time (more than 15 or 30 minutes).

Yes , with lifestyle changes, a disease-specific protocol, and holistic approach YOU can feel whole again❤

You have to do YOUR part by committing to a plan and protocol, which may require you to give up problematic health habits in exchange for healthier ones.

You can do hard things. And you are not doing them alone.
