Honestly… I agree with the bigger point you’re getting at. As a functional medicine NP, I see this all the time in practice. Most people assume their body is “the problem” or that they suddenly can’t tolerate an entire food group. But many times it’s not the food itself — it’s what’s been done to the food. Over the past 70–80 years we’ve moved further and further away from traditional food systems and into industrial food production. That doesn’t automatically mean something is dangerous, but it does mean the food our bodies are interacting with is very different than what humans evolved eating. With dairy specifically, I see a huge difference in how patients respond to:• highly processed, mass-produced dairy vs. traditional, minimally processed, or artisan dairy. For some people dairy truly doesn’t work for their body, for sure... But for many others, when we focus on food quality, gut health, and metabolic balance, their tolerance improves dramatically. Sometimes it’s not that the body is “broken.” Sometimes we’re just asking the body to process foods that are very far removed from the way they were originally made, add in the chemicals, microplastics, etc. -- and of course it leads to mass metabolic chaos!

I love that you’re committing 2 hours a day to this program — that level of consistency is inspiring. It’s reminding me how important it is for me to recommit to daily self-prioritization too. This year I’m intentionally carving out 1–2 hours every single day for myself and my vision. That includes my workouts (I’m obsessed with HOTWORX — infrared sauna workouts truly make me a better human even if I only get 15 minutes in ) and building my business in a way that actually supports my life, not drains it. I’ll be honest — I’m feeling pretty burnt out right now. My mini tele-clinic model has been a huge learning experience, but more than anything it’s shown me how I don’t want to run a business. I’ve been giving a lot of time for very little return, and while I deeply love my patients, I’ve noticed that the structure itself isn’t sustainable for me. That realization has been confronting… but also clarifying. I know I can’t show up as my best self — or serve anyone well — if I’m operating from depletion. So this season is about recalibrating, protecting my energy, and building something that honors both my patients and me.

I am looking over it and answering it again for myself without reading my previous response... What do you REALLY want? I want to make a minimum of 300K NET I want to quit my full time I want to be my own boss I want MY OWN HOUSE (I currently live in multi-generational situation)(This is a BIG WANT for me) I want to be MOM and be present, and cook dinner more consistently, and do laundry more consistently, and pack them better lunches, and help teach them how to take control of their own health by making healthy choices around food and physical movement and mental/spiritual wellness. STOP living Penny to Penny! Savings, investments, retirement I want to help my husband reach his dreams, and finances have been the biggest challenge I want my husband to be able to quit his travel job and come home and I can fund him focusing on completing his commercial pilots license and flying hours to get him in big planes (his DREAM DREAM). Why do you want your own functional med business/practice? I want to practice healing and provide deep dive evaluation and guidance to my patients on MY TERMS. I do not want to be micromanaged and medically dictated by insurance constraints. I want the time, space and connection with my patient - and to actually stick with them close enough to actually help! Why do you want to stay committed to yourself to make this happen? I am sick of hitting my head against the wall within the constraints of mainstream medicine and the minimal paycheck to paycheck life. I MUST not transmit the scarcity mindset I was raised with to my kids. It is already there due to their experience this far to some degree, but there is still time to unravel it. What AHA moments have you had in the past that you are letting slip away into the background? Or recent ones you've had that you don't want to slip away? I have what it takes, I just have to stop falling into the all or nothing mind trap that has me in the quick sand, and take baby steps of real action - that is focused. I must stop getting busy being busy, and build my empire!!!

@Amoret Nyce I would like to know if the recordings are posted to review as well. :)

Amazing, well done. !!!!!

@Carrisa Patrick 100% my everyday struggle and so so frustrating and defeating! A major motivator for me !!!!!
