And within about a year or so, I came off everything and it's been decades now. And I, well, not decades, a decade, almost two. And I have never looked back. By cleaning up your diet. Well, that was the primary thing that I did, okay? When I started to apply this to my practice, I recognized that there was like... something bigger at play.

Because I cleaned up my diet, I put this into remission on paper, and then I was given a book called Anatomy of an Epidemic by a colleague. And I read this book because I had already had this experience of dissonance. In medical school, we don't learn about nutrition. It's like, who cares? That's not important. We're here to talk about actual legitimate things.

And because of my experience, I was opened up to consider some of what I hadn't Which is that you could put a condition like this into remission, which is that, you know, nutrition matters. And I read this book and this book was about essentially the ways in which medications and specifically psychiatric medications are driving. disability, like mental health disability.

So it's basically an indictment of psychotropic medications, the same ones that I prescribe. So I say all of this to illustrate that I was at this moment of like a fork in the road of my story as a woman. And I ended up like

starting my activist career on the back of that book, where I was so ignited by this and the simultaneous experience that I was having of healing myself without the system in spite of the system that I took my sword aloft and I dedicated the next, well, I don't know, decade of my life to helping women come off of medications and exposing the dark side of all these medications. So

what was actually going on there, right? Like what actually was being invited through this diagnosis in my life story? Why might I have had to have experienced that? Right. And in your case, I would say like, I'm sure there is some relevance to the timing of your initial diagnosis.

And the moment, if there is one that you decide, I want to, you know, enter through the portal and come out the other side, med free, which again is, There's no better or worse. It's just an adventure, right? Like you might try that adventure at some point. There will be significance to that moment, right? And so for me, this moment was like,

the individuation journey for me, fighting the bad daddy, right? And bad mommy, I call it, you know, mommy medicine, daddy government, right? Like becoming a notorious, internationally notorious, like anti-pharma activist. Like that was my adolescent phase of individuation that was ignited by this very experience that of course manifested in my throat chakra, if you will, right? So it all had to

be this way. Like it literally needed to be exactly, I wrote it this way. That's what I believe anyway. And so when I saw, when I could see and appreciate the significance of it, it helped me to neutralize any poor me, no fair energy that might've been living underneath the the impulse to heal this, right?

Because the victim threads that come through our identification with our diagnoses are very real. They're there for a reason. And alchemizing those into, it had to be this way and I couldn't have designed it better is a part of the narrative evolution of, and reclamation of the diagnosis. So anyway, all that is to say that because I now have this

purpose that had somehow effervesced out of this diagnosis, I developed a protocol to help women move through this experience. And I started to recognize pretty quickly that, yeah, I can prescribe the diet I recommend. I can prescribe the detox I recommend. I can prescribe the like, here's how you send your nervous system a signal of safety, contemplative practice I recommend.

But what really needs to happen here is you need to be defragged in your programming. You need to like have the opportunity to expand the permission field of what you can believe. Okay. And that's where my mentor, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, who came in and divine timing to offer me. And I would even say like anoint me with his belief field and,

And his, if you don't, if anybody listening doesn't know who he was, you know, he was arguably one of, in my opinion, the most important clinicians to exist in our lifetime, where he had 27 years of validated clinical practice putting into remission terminal cancers and neurodegenerative and other degenerative illnesses with long-term remission.

I'm talking stage four pancreatic cancer with 34 years of survival. It's an unmatch in the conventional world. And he did this for decades. And I had the opportunity to be mentored by him in the last year of his life. And he translated to me. this like unshakable alignment with the body. And that the restoration of that is the framework within which all of this healing happens, right?

That's how you get to the place where whatever is going on is not a problem you're eradicating. So. when women come off of these medications, be it thyroid or otherwise, if they do so from the get this thing off me kind of energy, it's like if you leave a toxic relationship with a big fuck you, you know, all y'all know what happens.

You're taking that guy with you sometimes for years of your life, okay? Hating him and wanting him to be punished and hoping he's miserable, like lying in a ditch, right? So when you can, you know, come in peace and go in love from these experiences, you can integrate the memo, right? You can integrate the message. And so the impulse has to be, in my opinion, from that place.

So my specialty became taking women off of medications. And I did that for many years. And it only worked because it was not, these meds are bad, let's get rid of them, right? It was like, I'm actually ready to look at myself now. I'm actually interested in what this is all about. And I'm here for me. I'm here for it. And so usually there's some kind of a ritual.

And again, I have my bias, obviously, because I have my own protocol. But there's some kind of a ritual initiation of the I'm here for me energy, right? Which I would call a masculine energy. You show up, you commit, you choose, you follow through. you exercise that kind of integrity of attention and discipline.

Discipline's got a bad rap, but I, you know, I'm of the, you know, the school of thought. There's an etymological interpretation of discipline that is to say it means, you know, the gaze of the teacher who loves you, right? So how do you show up like that? the good father? How do you show up like the devoted husband? Right.

So I like to invoke these archetypes so that you can almost have this lived like theater inside yourself. And you can feel like what that's like to show up for yourself that way. And it's not self-flagellating. It's not like I better stick to the diet or else I'm a shitty person. Right. It's, it's a different kind of energy. Devotional, more from love. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And a presence.
