Terrain Work: Why Your Body's Story Matters More Than Your Symptoms

After 11 years of tissue mineral analysis and 44 personal tests, I've learned that sustainable healing isn't about chasing symptoms or following one-size-fits-all protocols. It's about understanding your unique terrain - your genetics, constitution, life story, and the environmental factors that shaped your health journey.

In this vulnerable birthday episode, I share the biggest insights from my decade-plus healing journey, including how I finally moved from survival mode to true optimization. I dive into why personalized medicine must go beyond lab results to include your genetic bottlenecks, astrological constitution, and shadow work - elements completely missing from traditional clinical approaches.

What you'll discover: 

• Why genetics "load the gun" but environment "pulls the trigger" - and what this means for your healing • How sulfur pathway challenges can sabotage even the best protocols (and which popular supplements made my gut worse) • The astrology-mineral connection that revolutionized my approach to supplementation • Why I was stuck in cell danger response for years and how getting out changed everything • The shadow work piece that clinical medicine ignores - but tribes understood intuitively • How understanding your metabolic type and constitutional needs prevents healing plateaus

This isn't just another HTMA episode - it's an invitation to see your body as an integrated system with its own unique story, patterns, and needs. Real terrain work addresses your whole self: your environment, your history, your emotional landscape, and your constitutional blueprint.

If you're tired of protocols that work for everyone else but not you, this episode will shift how you think about personalized healing forever.
