Global impact alert! 🌍💔
Benzodiazepines and Z-drug damage is not limited to the U.S. They played a significant role in 4 out of the top 9 medication serious adverse events reported in Australia between 2004 and 2017. Let's raise awareness and prioritize safer medication practices worldwide. 🙏

Let’s don’t forget these things! Worth all the expensive “biohacking” in the world.

I never did. Never will.

I spoke out strongly from day one.

Think of it this way....
If you eat something spoiled, within a few hours your body will go into hyper-discharge mode to rid itself of the toxins. Vomiting, diarrhea, fever. 🥴
It's the same with ALL toxins. Your body has amazing mechanisms for ridding itself of them on a continual basis, without much fanfare, as long as the burden doesn't become too great. 🪨🏋️‍♂️
When it does, we experience a great deal of unpleasantness. (vomiting, sweating, body aches, fatigue, fever, chills, rashes, etc.).
This also includes our emotions. Unresolved or unexpressed/stuffed emotions create panic attacks, depression, memory problems AND physical discomfort. 😊😭😡😱
So, the point to ponder is this:
How can we expect to achieve a pleasant state of health whilst continuing to be bombarded with poisons? ❓
Assisting your body by reducing (where possible) the things making you sick AND using regular detox strategies to keep your amazing human-suit thriving! 💪
Some of my favorites are:
Near infrared sauna
Ionic foot detox
Castor oil packs
Detox supplements
Detox baths
Lymph massage/drainage
Colon hydrotherapy
Counseling services
EVOX
Reverse osmosis or distilled water
Pick one or all! Happy healing! ❤️

Fake food. Don’t buy it. Don’t consume it. Haven’t eaten margarine in over 40 years. Learned it was plastic during my CN training.

I have always corrected one of the brands with a tag line “I can’t believe it’s not butter.” My correction is “I CAN believe it’s not butter….because it’s plastic.” 💥

Although it should come as no surprise to me at this point, I’m still blown away be the lack of knowledge displayed by many doctors and psychiatrists when it comes to the topic of prescription drug withdrawal.

In this post, I outline a few things about benzodiazepine withdrawal and antidepressant withdrawal that you might not hear from your doctor (but that you need to hear if you are in the process of getting off medications).

I think it’s great that therapy and mental wellness are part of the mainstream conversation. The more information we share and the more knowledge that is out there, the better.

It’s important to understand that therapy is a tool. Like all things, it’s *how* you use the tool that determines the outcome. Not everyone is going to therapy to self reflect, to own their role, or to gain more emotional tools. Some people are looking to be validated that others are the issue. Or, to just declare that they’re in therapy.

It is not a magic fix. No therapist can make someone change their patterns— or even see them. The habits and patterns that happen every week outside of that hour are equally important. Without true dedication to doing the work, change doesn’t happen.

Ideally, a person comes ready to learn new tools and break generational patterns. They’re ready to face the discomfort, the shame, and they have the humility to be introspective. This takes courage and radical transformation happens.

Have you noticed this?

Doing nothing is actually doing something. 💥
That’s what I’m doing today. Resting, reading, praying, feeding myself healthfully and building strength. 🏋️‍♂️

I’ve done some heavy lifting that didn’t let up. And yes, heavy emotions can really weigh you down and push you towards burn out.

You cannot drink from an empty cup. And you cannot fill anyone else up if you are empty.

Take time for yourself today. And if it’s not possible you will need to make it happen.

This statement is 100% true! 🎯
When I hear (name the disease here) "runs in my family", I know that person has been conditioned to BELIEVE that (name the disease here) will happen to them. Nothing could be further from the truth!

When we are young and being raised, we learn to live and have the beliefs that those closest to us exhibit. We develop habits and make choices based on what we learned from the people closest to us. This is ingrained at a very young age. 👶

If mom was overweight and has type 2 diabetes, the child will develop habits that contribute to an overweight condition, and, eventually type 2 diabetes. The child watches what mom eats and drinks so the child, growing into adulthood, makes the associated food choices, and lives a sedentary lifestyle because that's what's "normal" to him/her. 🍞🍟🍕🍨🥤
This applies to ALL dis-ease states!
The good news is: YOU can change the outcome! 🤩
How? First by recognizing the harmful belief(s) and behavior(s) and second, by making different choices!
Sometimes a little help is needed in order to identify where the changes need to happen.
Just know, you are NOT sentenced to a life of poor health! YOU have the POWER to CHANGE! 💪

Never knew. Learned something new.
Looks like multiple funnel clouds.

These are scud clouds captured in South Carolina!

SCUD clouds may look like funnel clouds, but they actually form much differently. They form in areas of increased relative humidity as air rises in a thunderstorm. The term SCUD is actually an acronym standing for “Scattered Cumulus Under Deck”.

While they look ominous, SCUD clouds are harmless and do not produce severe weather.
