You might be trying to “optimize” your health and resolve your physical symptoms in some capacity right now – experimenting with nutrition/food, supplements, antibiotics, hormonal contraception, powders, gummies, drink mixes, capsules, pills, injections, peptides, treatments, lasers, among many other things.
You name it.
Yet, you still feel off.
Completely off.
You’re not alone.
If I’m being honest, I sometimes feel like “functional medicine” is morphing into pharma 2.0.
In recent months, I have had so many potential clients have come to me prescribed 10-20 different supplements by “functional medicine” practitioners–yet their root issues remain completely unaddressed.
They’re not receiving meaningful guidance on diet, stress management, movement, or sleep, and cleansing modalities aren’t even mentioned.
Unsurprisingly, they continue to experience significant health issues and remain stuck, frustrated, and in pain.
Isn’t “functional medicine” supposed to be about finding the root cause rather than simply treating symptoms with a different set of pills?
If you’re currently dealing with gut issues, hormonal and thyroid imbalances, energy problems, and/or skin flare-ups, then:
your bucket is overflowing with toxins, like food and drink waste, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, antibiotics, environmental toxins, microplastics, and many substances that continuously flood our mainstream diet and lifestyle,
your system and internal terrain have both been weakened and obstructed,
your organs are not working properly,
basic functions within your body are significantly impaired,
and you are now experiencing cellular congestion and breakdown.
In this case, literally no amount of “optimization” – or some missing miracle ingredient – will work.
I understand how frustrating and disheartening this can be, especially when you’ve already tried so many solutions, but continue to hit dead ends and haven’t found any lasting relief.
What you need to do instead is
empty your bucket and do so correctly with the right cleansing modalities/protocols,
regenerate your organs and systems and build an entirely new foundation
BEFORE you can even think about optimizing anything.
Only then can optimization become effective.
So, if you don't remember anything else, remember this:
You need to focus on detoxification before you focus on optimization.
That means considering modalities like:
colon cleansing
liver cleansing
parasite cleansing
mold detoxification
heavy metal detoxification
radiation detoxification
candida/yeast detoxification
metabolic support
mitochondrial support
juicing
intermittent fasting
water fasting
deep sweating
cold immersion
inversion
lymphatic drainage
among others
While the inputs are important, the outputs are equally as (if not way more) important.
If a fish is sick, you need to clean the fish tank, not the fish.
If a flower doesn’t bloom, you need to fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
If you deep clean your house, you need to take the garbage bags out for the house to be clean.
The same thing applies to your body.
