Why Are We Okay With This?

Every once in a while, I need to zoom out with you.
Most days, I focus on helping you understand your body in real-time—how to read its signals, how to respond with care. But today, I want to pull back and name the larger patterns I’m seeing. Because what’s happening inside you is also happening everywhere.
And if we don’t name what’s broken, we can’t begin to fix it.

We’ve Normalized Numb

How did we get here?
To a place where kids are handed serious diagnoses…
Where adults are pushing past exhaustion daily…
Where feeling “off” is just something we quietly accept?
Our bodies didn’t come with an owner’s manual. And because of that, most of us were never taught how to understand symptoms as signals. So we override. We guess. We wait until things get bad enough to need help.
This is the cycle I see every week inside my clinic—and it’s heartbreaking.

A Culture That Doesn’t Make Space for Healing

Recently, I met with a middle schooler who’d already been given an autoimmune diagnosis. He’d seen a slew of specialists. He was on multiple medications. But no one had talked to him about food. Or rest. Or stress. Or nervous system support.
He was still playing sports at a high level. Still pushing, still performing—like nothing was happening inside his body.
We walked through the framework I teach—how to track his energy, how to make sense of his symptoms. He understood it. But when it came time to make changes?
He looked at me and said, “I don’t want to stand out.” 
He didn’t want people to think something was wrong with him. He didn’t want to lose his place.
And my heart sank. Because I get it.
No one wants to be the one who slows down.

These Aren’t Just Stories—They’re Warnings

Both of these clients—young, capable, and disconnected—are now working with me to slowly rebuild their relationship with their body.We’re not chasing perfection.
We’re practicing awareness.
We’re asking new questions:
What do I need today? What’s my body telling me right now?
Because here’s what I need you to hear:
Your body isn’t failing you.
It’s adapting.
It’s doing everything it can with what it’s been given.
But when the inputs are off—when stress is chronic, when beauty standards are punishing, when toxic load is high and nutrients are low—something breaks.

Maybe You’re Not “Sick”… But You’re Not Well Either

• We’re absorbing chemicals from our skin care.
• Breathing in fragrance sprays and candles.
• Reheating food in plastic.
• Plugged into Bluetooth and screens.
• Managing stress like it’s a normal accessory.

The Body Is the Way Back

The nutrients your body needs?
The rest it’s craving?
The slower pace that allows healing?
They’re not part of our normal rhythm anymore.
But your body hasn’t given up.It’s still speaking.
Still signaling.
Still whispering, Please notice me.
It’s not punishing you—it’s protecting you.
And it’s waiting for you to listen.

This Doesn’t Have to Be Your Normal

You don’t have to live in survival mode.
You don’t have to keep overriding your needs.
You don’t have to accept “fine” as the best it gets.
You can learn to understand your energy.
You can create rhythms that restore you.
You can shift your entire trajectory—not with perfection, but with presence.
