Healing wasn't a part of my plan. My goal in nutrition was to prevent anything that would require healing by preventing disease and injury. I believed I could control myself from needing to heal by living healthy forever, not knowing that health is a daily healing, not the prevention of it.

When I crashed, I was forced into healing. The only other option was to live stuck in my illness.

Before getting sick, I had spent so much time trying to prevent health problems by securing the arrival at a destination I thought would bring me permanent health that I completely misunderstood what it meant to live healthy. Health is not the absence of disease or injury (although limiting this is ideal). It's not the prevention of a place that requires healing.

Health is learning how to heal.

It's daily action that supports healing. And when you learn to heal and practice healing, your body will become far healthier.

But getting there means changing your view of what healing means. It's changing your view of what health means. Moving away from the external chase and into the internal healing by building a new story of health that leans into daily healing.

Inside the first podcast in this eight-part series called How You Heal, I help you understand the story your current life revolves around and how that is changing your biology. In the process, you will learn to shift that story, opening up to an internal approach to healing.
