Whenever I deliver the Whole Body Reset masterclass, there is one part where most of you lean in. And what suprises many of you, and I know from the comments, is this... The standard blood panel was designed to detect disease. Not dysfunction. Not the space between sick and thriving. When your doctor reads your results, they are comparing each number to a reference range built from a population that includes a lot of people who are themselves unwell. Normal becomes the average of everyone. Not a marker of how well you could actually feel. The fatigue, the brain fog, the gut issues, the weight that will not shift - those are data. They are your body flagging something the standard panel was not designed to see. You were not imagining it. You were just in the wrong system. Drop a 🙋🏾‍♀️ if 'your labs are normal' is the sentence you have heard before.

We ask because we have heard a lot in this community. And some of it deserves to be said out loud. "Your labs are normal." "It's probably just stress." "This is what happens at your age." "Have you tried eating less?" "Have you considered that it might be anxiety?" We hear these from women who are clinically literate, who have done their research, who have been demonstrating careers and households while feeling like a diminished version of themselves. You were not wrong to push back. You were not being difficult. You were right that something was being missed. And the fact that you are in this community means part of you never stopped looking for the right answer. Drop yours below. One sentence. What is the thing that was said to you that you knew was not the full story?

Hi! I’m Karyn Collins from San Antonio, TX. I’ll be turning 70 this summer and am currently enjoying retirement after a wonderful career as a pediatric OT. Am also mom to an amazing young man and “theatre mom” to a bunch of (now grown) theatre kids. I’m hoping to, finally, get to the root causes of a number of frustrating health issues: IBS-C & Fibro, (Here, take this pill), inability to lose weight without heroic effort (eat less/exercise more/here, take this pill) and the ever popular, “you’re fine, it’s just part of getting older”. Looking forward to connecting with others experiencing much of the same.

I plan to start my digital detox tonight at 9pm.

Flipping the switch to off before I eat. 🧘🏽‍♀️
