Love & Life Elevated

Since I have worked as a doctor in the functional medicine space for over two and a half decades, I am often asked to talk about "diet." Well, that's valid. Today I want to talk to you about primary versus secondary food and what it means to nourish ourselves mindfully and spiritually first.

Surround yourself with authentic, positive people. Life satisfaction is relative to human connection with everyone. It is important to be seen and to see others.

The world needs more compassion, more vulnerability, less judgment, more love, less politicizing. We have an opportunity, as spiritual beings, to be infectious with the idea that we are better together. Enough of the us and them. We are being asked to step up and radiate a higher vibration.

Whether you are feeling "in love" or simply experiencing being in an atmosphere of love, part of your physiology is better for it. Under the influence of love, we are smarter, kinder, less stressed, more perceptive and intuitive, and have less inflammation. We need more love medicine.

What do you need to be seen as? Don't allow your dreams to be overshadowed by shame. Claim your worthiness. Catching our breath has a lot to do with our willingness to be courageous each and every day.

When we lose lean muscle we fast-forward the aging process. Don't assume that muscle loss is a given as you get older. It's not. Sarcopenia (loss of lean muscle) happens, not automatically, because we stop moving our body and challenging our muscles. Here's how to stay strong and live long.

There are opportunities within our cells - to take the good parts and let go of, forgive, or elevate those traits are are no longer serving us. All of our relations are woven into the fabric of our being. We can heal the trauma and the drama.

How do you know when you're making progress? How do you know when you are living on purpose? The answer to both of these questions is that you know when you are bringing forth more kindness. Life is moving fast. It's easy to get lost. Lead with kindness.

One of the greatest ways we can help ourselves heal is to decide to forgive and love ourselves right where we are. You may not have always acted or behaved how your current self wishes you would have; know that that version of yourself believed it was the best you could do in that moment.

The number one biomarker for aging is loss of lean muscle (sarcopenia). This loss of muscle doesn't have to happen. Give your muscles a reason to grow and thrive - as you continue to grown and thrive yourself.
