Once you own and accept that you must be an active and willing participant on your health journey you will be free. Free to own your health and find true healing.

For some silly reason, we’ve evolved to a place of outsourcing our health. We go to the doctors office and get told what’s wrong with us, we get prescribed drugs to take, and we aren’t empowered or educated on what WE can do to shift the tide. This experience is all to common place and it’s funny… because what coming back to health means to you and to your doctor are most likely two completely different things.

Doctors are trained to prevent death.
They are not trained to promote life.

Living in health means a lot more than the absence of disease. It means more than a number on a blood panel. Living in health is having the light, energy, and vitality to show up in this world how you want to show up. It means having the space to live, laugh, learn and grow because you’re not bogged down with bodily health woes. Living in health means feeling GOOD. Something your doctor isn’t necessarily concerned about.

Today I invite you to a new paradigm. One where YOU, yes YOU stand at the helm of your healing journey and OWN YOUR HEALTH.

Our current health woes might not be our fault, but I’d be damned if I didn’t tell you, they are your responsibility.  And that doesn’t mean you have to row up the health river without a paddle, it simply means what you do matters, and you must be an active participant in your healing journey.

We have been sold a lie. One where we’ve been taught what we do doesn’t matter. That we don’t influence our health but instead it’s something we inherit from our parents. The science is now catching up to what ancient medicine has been preaching for thousands of years, WHAT WE DO MATTERS.

• What we eat (or don’t eat)

• The Sleep We Get (or don’t get)
• The exercise we do
  
  
• Healthy and fulfilling relationships
  
  
• Hydration
  
  
• Stress Management
  
  
• Your Mindset

It all matters. And that’s beautiful and empowering because it means WE INFLUENCE OUR HEALTH AND HEALTH OUTCOMES. We have power and sway. We sit in a position no one else can ever sit in for us. 

What It Means To Own Your Health

There are many pieces to this conversation but what I want you to know now is this:

1. Your choices directly impact your health
2. No one knows your body as well as you do
3. Your body provides feedback and wisdom
4. You must advocate for your own health
5. You must work in concert, in partnership with your health team (and hopefully that health team has some herbalist, nutritionist, and other holistic minded practitioners on it!)

You have the power to influence your health and you must stand at the front lines of your healing journey, becoming an active participant in achieving your healing destination.

Outsourcing isn’t working.

And that doesn’t mean you go it alone…

It means you work with people who honor and respect you in this role. At the end of the day, there are no healers out there. You do the healing. Your body does the healing. You are the one making the choices, thinking the thoughts, choking down the medicine. You deserve to work with someone who honors this truth. Who supports, empowers and educates you to be in this role.

May you carry on with empowerment and education to truly find the healing you seek. 

Namaste,
