Heal It Naturally? Let’s Talk.

February 16, 2026

And why the answer ain’t as complicated as we make it.

The Top 9 of 10 Dis-eases are FTD's - Food Transmitted Dis-eases.

Everyone wants to heal X naturally.

Heal the inflammation.
Heal the weight gain.
Heal the fibroids.
Heal the high blood pressure.
Heal the fatigue.
Heal the gut.

Naturally.

But here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud:

You cannot heal from something while continuing to consume what’s causing it.

Let that sit.

Back already? Ok.
If certain foods are driving inflammation…
If sugar spikes are exhausting your kidneys and pancreas…
If dairy is triggering mucus and congestion…
If ultra-processed foods are stressing your nervous system…

Healing doesn’t begin with adding more supplements.

It begins with subtracting what’s harming you.

And that’s where it gets uncomfortable.

Because this isn’t just about food.

It’s about attachment.

Food Is Often a Long-Term Relationship

How do you end a toxic relationship you’ve been entangled with for years?

Not overnight.

Slowly and intentionally.
With awareness.
With boundaries.
With replacement behaviors.
With support.

You don’t wake up one day and feel nothing.
You create distance.
You reduce exposure.
You stop romanticizing what hurts you.
You remember why you’re leaving.

Healing food patterns works the same way.

The Hard Truth

You don’t “heal naturally” by:
--taking pills for every ill
--taking herbs while eating the same inflammatory triggers
--detoxing for 7 days and then going right back

That’s not healing.

That’s bargaining.

Healing is:
--removing the trigger
--regulating the nervous system
--stabilizing blood sugar
--creating new rituals
--tolerating discomfort long enough for the body to recalibrate

That part takes maturity.

And repetition.

So What Do You Do?

You don’t quit everything at once.
You don’t shame yourself.
You don’t swing extreme.

You:

1. Identify the biggest trigger.
2. Reduce frequency.
3. Replace strategically.
4. Repeat consistently.
5. Track how your body responds.

Distance creates clarity.

Clarity creates strength.

Strength makes letting go easier.

I came up with today's topic while I was trying to figure out my new home innanet service. It had been over an hour and I was still in the same spot. I paused and thought, I'll come back to this later. All of a sudden, I got hungry (which I already know, cravings are all of a suddent, true hunger is gradually), so I would've grabbed the chips....had I had any but instead I made a salad. Now, don't scoff at a salad....especially mine cause it's all about the dressing (homemade). While cutting the veggies, it gave me time to cool down. I naturally began thinking about something else more positive and was no longer hungry. However, I finished making the salad, went back to work, and I'll enjoy the salad when I'm truly hungry.

This kind of work don't just happen. It's from yeeeaaarrrssss of work....trial and error, but after a near 8 year journey getting my doctorate, I have the cheat code and I packaged it in a simple 13-week, step-by-step system for others.

The Top 9 of 10 Dis-eases are FTD's - Food Transmitted Dis-eases.

Snack on THIS

If you say you want to heal X naturally…

Are you willing to stop feeding what’s causing it?

Because you can’t build health and protect the habit at the same time.

We’re going deeper into this, on Wednesday and Thursday, where I teach you. Bring your notebook/journal. We're about less consumption, more DOing.

See you there.
