A bit about me… I absolutely insist I spent a former life as the weird lady with a house full of jars in backwater Scotland. You know, the old lady that all the villagers simultaneously feared yet came to with all their health problems. But I digress.
In this life, to be quite blunt, I understand better than most what doctors do and do not know. I spent nearly two decades in healthcare. I started with my first aid and lifeguarding certifications at the tender age of 15, then went on to earn my EMT certification at age 19. By age 22, I had graduated a healthcare trade school program. By 30, I got my first set of letters after my name professionally. At age 32, I got the second set of letters after my name professionally, and at age 35, I published my first novel- on how modern healthcare is killing people. And even though I was a living dumpster fire at the time that book was published and many of my previously held medical opinions have now changed, even THEN I knew something was very wrong with our society.
In total, I spent roughly half my adult life auditing medical records for a living, and I can promise you, 99% of medical doctors have no idea how to cure what’s wrong with you. In fact, getting killed by a medical error is the third most likely way to die in this country.
I repeat. Doctors do not know how to cure disease. They know how to prescribe pills, and that’s about it.
Dis-ease is exactly that- your body not being at ease. A lot of our physical conditions are caused by spiritual and emotional health problems, and doctors know next to nothing about this. Sadly, most physicians don’t even get more than a couple hours of training on nutrition. It seems to be all about what pill to fix what ailment, when that pill will cause three other ailments. All you’re doing in modern medicine is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and some people’s bodies, well… the check is coming due all at once.
Doctors are great when you shatter a kneecap or get into a car wreck, but regular visits to doctors will make you sicker. You can take that to the bank. Goldman Sachs once published an article that queried if curing patients was a sustainable business model, which tells you everything you need to know about the medical industry and their shareholder overlords. Go ahead. Google it. Recoil in disgust, then return to me.
I am also in the process of earning my Functional Nutrition Counselor certificate, so I’m not just some crazy lady on the internet.
Well, not just.
Through my life travels, I have delved deeply into the link between what we eat and our quality of life. If you really think about it, this makes sense, however people rarely put two and two together. The most malnourished people you will ever meet in your life are also some of the most overweight. Their body is literally starving for nutrients, yet their body carries so much excess. Part of that weight we carry is why we are eating. What are you carrying, friends? What are you ready to put down so that you don’t have to lug it around anymore? Have you ever even heard of generational trauma and how to put down the things we didn’t even know we carry?
Of course, some people have chronic pain due to injuries, and some have autoimmune diseases that eat up their lives. I see you, and I sympathize. Trust me, I’m hurting with you.
There is hope, though. The human body is stellar at healing itself with the proper guidance, and if my instructor Andrea Nakayama (who lives with an autoimmune disorder) has managed to live a healthy life despite Hashimotos, purely through food medicine, I’d say there’s hope for everyone!
Drop me a line and say hi! If you want to know more about me, read on, the blog publishes every Sunday evening. I will be sharing things I’ve learned in my studies about how to transform your health through food, and I will be a CFNC in roughly ten months. Then the real magic happens.
If you REALLY want to know more about me, my life story memoir will be available soon. Stay tuned.
