Show Notes

It’s supposed to be healthcare, not sick care. 

Our healing journey sometimes feels like it's caught in the web of traditional medical practices. You know, the ones that have shaped our thoughts about staying healthy.

But here's the kicker: in our quest for that genuine, lasting healing, we can totally miss the real reasons behind our health bumps and bruises. It's like they're hiding in plain sight as we're living in an age of quick fixes and those temporary 'feel better now' solutions, which often steal the spotlight.
