The Truth About Healing: What I’ve Been Getting All Wrong.
My new realizations...
For years, I’ve worked with clients, helping them optimize their health. I’ve seen incredible transformations, but deep down, I always had this nagging question—are we truly healing, or are we just managing symptoms?
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into a certification course on Functional Nutrition, and I’ll be honest: it has completely shattered the way I used to think about disease.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that if we suppress a symptom, we’ve fixed the problem.
But what if that’s not true?
What if our symptoms are just warning signals—the body’s way of waving a red flag, desperately trying to get our attention?
Here’s what I mean:
🔹 Depression—A traditional approach might involve prescribing an antidepressant. But what if the real issue is something deeper? Low serotonin due to poor gut health, a vitamin D deficiency, or a thyroid imbalance? All of these can cause depression. An anti-depressant will not cure any of the above.
🔹 Acid reflux—Millions rely on antacids to stop heartburn, assuming their stomach produces too much acid. However, my course has taught me that too little stomach acid is often the real issue, leading to improper digestion, bacterial overgrowth, and long-term gut damage. Interestingly, past- trauma can also lead to reflux!
🔹 Chronic fatigue—It’s easy to chalk it up to a "busy lifestyle" or "aging," but the deeper truth could be mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, or heavy metal toxicity. No amount of caffeine or extra sleep will fix that.
This course has completely transformed the way I look at health. Instead of just asking "What’s wrong?" I’ve started asking "Why is this happening?"
Because true healing isn’t about silencing symptoms—it’s about addressing why they appeared in the first place.
And now, I want to ask you:
❓ Are you treating your symptoms, or are you uncovering their root cause?
❓ Have you been told your condition is "just genetic" or "something you have to live with"?
❓ What if healing isn’t about finding the right pill, but about giving your body the right tools to restore balance?
This shift in perspective has changed everything for me—and I hope it sparks something in you too. If you’re struggling with chronic symptoms, don’t settle for surface-level solutions. Dig deeper. Ask better questions. Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating.
The question is: are you listening?
