After retiring from the Army after 30 years. I have served as an enlisted and officer, up to a Battalion Commander. I started my medical journey at 17 as a Medic, a Respiratory Therapist, an EMT among other things. I am also a Published Author of over 14 books and Journals.
I hold a number of advanced degrees in holistic and naturopathic medicine, including nutrition and counseling. I am board certified through AANP, AANWP, AFPA, AHHA, AADP, IPHM, and PMA/PWA.
I’m a Naturopathic and Holistic Practitioner who makes house calls when necessary and gives each person who comes for help a plan created for them based on their individual needs, no matter how “generic” the label of their issues.
My teaching is that the healing of any injury, whether it be physical or mental/emotional has to begin at the foundation. We all know that it has to happen from the inside out to be sustainable. I don’t believe in masking the injury, smothering the pain or slapping a bandaid on an arterial wound.
For any of us to heal ourselves of any injury we have to give our bodies the tools it needs to heal itself. Eating to balance our pH and lower our acidity gives our bodies what we need to have the Serotonin required for clearer more balanced thinking while we address the injuries or issues we’ve sustained physically and mentally.
If we don’t properly supplement our bodies (put oil in the car), we toss in some cheap fuel and wonder why we barely make it as we spit and sputter along. If we get to where we’re going, which is doubtful, it certainly won’t be an enjoyable stress free ride now, will it? Lack of common sense and self-care handicaps not just our progress, but our desire to try to progress at all.
We set ourselves up for a lack of energy, deepening depression and weaken our immune system to welcome additional issues. Clouded minds make poor decisions that feed the self-defeating downward spiral we appear to be trapped in…
We do too much to mask the symptoms and nowhere near enough to cure the problems. Our bodies need 40 essential nutrients daily, and we’re lucky if we get three of them. We eat too many processed, nutrient poor foods. We take in too much sugar and too little water. Our meals lack the fresh fruits and vegetables our bodies need to heal and fuel us through our days.
After a horrible injury left me wheel chair bound, in the space of one heart-breaking week I went blind from side effects of the pain medication that I was given and lost my father.
My weight sky-rocketed to 405lbs and introduced further health challenges. I know from personal experience that a nutritionally sound body gives you the clarity of mind to overcome obstacles that would permanently cripple those of us not so well prepared for life. Some of us may have considered tossing in the towel after such devastating life blows.
Just to show a piece of a small personal journey. Here’s a picture of me at my heaviest at 405lbs shortly after my last knee surgery.
Here’s today at 273…still have a mighty long way to go. But we’ll just call it a “Road Trip!”
For those struggling. I can PROMISE you there’s no bigger struggler than me.
I’d say if I can, you can. But I won’t. I’ll say instead you have two choices.
“Choose to or choose not to”
We cannot let this continue to be our truth. We owe it to ourselves and each other to stop hiding and heal ourselves properly. Not just to enjoy the lives we’ve been given, but to help others achieve the same for themselves.
Talking about living a life of excellence is easy and sounds impressive. Taking action and saving a life is impressive and an example for others to follow, but…
The first life you save has to be your own.
