Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the important role of hypercoagulation in chronic illness.  About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Ruth Kriz.  Utilizing her functional medicine background as well as experience in microbiology and teaching pharmacology, Ruth Kriz, MSN, APRN has spent the majority of her professional career as a Nurse Practitioner working with Chronic UTI and Interstitial Cystitis patients; as well as those dealing with hypercoagulation.  Her practice expanded to patients from almost all the states in the US as well as from 35 countries who came to her seeking answers beyond symptom management.  Through molecular testing, an understanding of the genetics common to these patients, and an understanding of how genetics contributes to chronic infection, hypercoagulation, and biofilms, she has been able to very successfully treat this population.  These factors have broad implications for other chronic infections (sinus, prostate, ear infections, wounds, etc.) as well as fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions in which hypercoagulation and biofilms are an important contributor.  She has closed her medical practice, but she reinvented as a consultant to help practitioners learn how to utilize her approach for curing these patients and currently is working with MicroGenDX. Key Takeaways: What are the symptoms and conditions associated with hypercoagulation? Why is the "fibrinolytic pathway" a better term than "hypercoagulation"? What genetic predispositions are involved in coagulation disorders? Can hypercoagulation be treated naturally or are pharmaceutical interventions required? What is the role of vitamin K in coagulation? How might long-term antibiotics for chronic Lyme disease contribute to coagulation issues? What is the difference between fibrin and a biofilm? What are some of they key labs to explore in order to assess for the potential of hypercoagulation? Are statin drugs contraindicated in those with high Lp(a)? What role do platelets play in the coagulation discussion? What is the connection between long COVID and biofilms? How does lumbrokinase compare to nattokinase? Why are D-Dimer and PT/PTT not ideal tests for exploring hypercoagulation?

Gigi Cockell first found me in a space of complete despair. She was bed-bound with chronic pelvic pain which she described as a 15/10. This was after years of different chronic symptoms, both common and bizarre. After doing the work to regulate her nervous system, complete with a robust JournalSpeak practice, Gigi found me and asked to come on the pod to inspire others. Our original conversation is S3 EP33: THE NEUROSCIENCE OF CHRONIC PAIN: POTS, INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS, FIBRO, CFS AND MORE WITH GIGI. More than just a patient of this work, Gigi is a Master's level Biologist and the best in the business in explaining and discussing the brain science behind chronic illness. She is an official member of the BreakAwake team, and teaches with us each year at the OMEGA Institute. Today, we get back together on the pod to discuss her ongoing wellness, and our combined "best practices" for living not only free from chronic pain, illness, symptoms, syndromes and diagnoses, but also your full-on best life.

Recently I've talked a lot about the gut microbiome and endo, but today, I want to do a very short episode on the bladder microbiome, but specifically, a supplement or plant extract that could help us. For those of you who deal with bladder pain or recurrent UTIs, I'm hoping this episode is helpful. Interstitial cystitis has been dubbed as the ‘evil twin' of endometriosis by researchers, and is characterised by bladder pain, increased frequency, pressure, and trouble emptying the bladder to name a few of the key symptoms. Interstitial cystitis doesn't have just one cause; often there are multiple layers ranging from pelvic floor dysfunction, histamine issues, nerve hypersensitivity, chronic embedded UTIs, inflammation and more.

Episode 72: Chronic Conditions, Pain & Positivity with Julie Taylor I am so honored to introduce Julie Taylor. Julie is an Endo and IC Warrior who's passionate about mindset as medicine. Endo is an abbreviation for endometriosis and IC stands for Interstitial Cystitis (a painful bladder syndrome). While healing with these chronic conditions, she learned the power of crystals and energy to heal and how using a positive mindset as a tool to help manage her moods and emotions helped her body build resilience. Julie's formal degrees are in writing and early childhood ed, though the innate cheerleader at home in her heart drives her to write words, she hopes will spark a mood or mindset that might brighten things for others. Julie is the author of a children's book, Blue Hissy Highness and the Shiny Stones (you can buy that here). The book focuses on how a positive mindset can reframe and heal. It also reminds children that we can move toward mutual acceptance and forgiveness, but also the very adult reminder that acceptance isn't a one-and-done ideal—a lesson we need to revisit as we age. Julie also tends a website and an online space called Stone Spelling & Witchery, which is also the name of her private Facebook group Stone Spelling & Witchery to connect and share the metaphysical and mystical, celebrate earth and moon cycles, share spells, post favorite crystals, chat about witchiness, and ask questions. Julie curates a beautiful community that serves as a magical hub for joy and positivity. In this episode, Julie and I talk about living with chronic conditions and chronic pain, how we manage our spirit during times of flares. We talk about positivity, staying positive, toxic positivity or not toxic positivity, the benefits and downfalls of emotional bypassing, and what Julie has terms LoMo—or how to manage Low Moods and shift them to help with chronic conditions. Honestly, this is such an awesome, refreshing conversation. As someone who has to manage many chronic autoimmune conditions, I find simply speaking my truth about living with pain and fatigue can be important.

I discuss my confusing bloodwork results from my last appointment with Shoemaker Protocol Dr. Peg; why I'm back to exploring MAST Cell or MCAS issues; the unusual reason the Interstitial Cystitis with which I was diagnosed in 2003 has returned; and my latest in the MARCoNS soap opera! ‼️ I am not a doctor or health professional.

Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) If you haven't ever heard of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) aka Bladder Pain Syndrome, you're not alone -- but it's actually a lot more common than you may think. IC might look like all the symptoms of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI's) though it lacks the bacteria that cause those infections. But because it's exceedingly common to not test for bacteria before prescribing antibiotics for a UTI, it can often go under the radar for years (yes years) without a correct diagnosis. For some, interstitial cystitis can be debilitating, and there aren't a ton of clear answers on what the causes are or how to effectively treat it. So I'm excited to bring you today's guest herbalist and nutritionist Jillian Bar-av who has both experienced this condition herself and specializes in working clinically with folks who have bladder conditions like IC.She shares about the physiology of interstitial cystitis, and also some of the research around what differentiates IC from things like UTI's and pelvic floor dysfunction (and how commonly these show up together).She also gives insight into some key nutritional strategies and essential herbal allies to consider depending on the specific presentation in your body (or your client's body).Like so many chronic conditions, a one-size-fits-all approach is likely not going to be as effective as an individualized integrative therapeutic approach like Jillian shares about.Quite often, IC requires tending to various systems of the body, including not only the genito-urinary tract but also digestive system, nervous system and overall pelvic health.Listen to learn:what interstitial cystitis is, and how to differentiate it from recurrent UTI'ssome simple dietary strategies to reduce IC symptomshow the nerve bundles are different in the bladders of IC patientssome key herbs to consider for bladder pain, spasms, inflammation, etcwhy including nervines and adaptogens may be essential for this condition as wellResources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Jillian's articles and offerings!Jillian's article: 5 Top Herbs for Interstitial CystitisEpisode 19: The importance of softening (pelvic health) with Chaya Leia AronsonEpisode 86: Herbal spotlight on ashwagandhaEpisode 106: How to restore your core + pelvic floor with Mary VidalEpisode 110: Healing chronic pelvic pain with Julia DyerIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Hey Friend!   Having a UTI can be so uncomfortable with all the urinary urgency, frequency, burning and bladder/pelvic pain! It is especially frustrating when you go to the Doctor and get a urine dipstick test and it comes out negative. After frequent episodes like this you might get a diagnosis like Interstitial Cystitis, which is essentially bladder inflammation in a chronic state.  Women that I work with feel lost and stuck with this painful condition and stuck on medications or painful bladder injections, and that does not have to be the case! Lately I have been seeing an influx of women coming to me with these symptoms and feeling hopeless.   So inside this week's episode I am diving deep into bladder pain, frequent “UTIs”, and Interstitial Cystitis or IC and what are some of the many holistic and whole body factors that can be causing or contributing to your symptoms and a few of the many tips and tools that I teach my patients as a pelvic floor physical therapist! Listen and learn about bladder irritants, breathwork, reducing urgency with urge suppression techniques and how to analyze our foundational health (sleep, stress, diet, etc).    As always, if you are experiencing any pelvic floor/women's health issue like urinary incontinence/leaking, pelvic pain, pain with sex, urgency, heaviness/prolapse or any other back/hip/joint pain let's get you booked for a virtual coaching session or in person physical therapy session for a more individualized plan and one-on-one instructions so you can feel confident in your body and start healing today!!    Make Sure to reach out to> PTDes@balancedmomtality.com  AND/OR Join my FREE Facebook community for ACCOUNTABILITY and a safe and supportive place to share and support each other!> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1696216757461633/    Join my VIP Insider group and receive my Newsletter full of great tips and tricks and upcoming resources! > https://newsletter.balancedmomtality.com/   Follow and get tips/tricks on:  Facebook> @thebalancedmomtality Instagram> @the_balanced_momtality   Learn > www.balancedmomtality.com  

“My passion is to be able to change things for women. No one should be dismissed; no one should be told it's all in their head. We have so much catching up to do in women's health care.” - Heather FlorioWhen we work with complex chronic conditions, we have to become very integrative. In our practice, we take a multidisciplinary approach to helping women with bladder pain heal from the root causes by starting with a whole-system assessment.When it comes to treatment, many of these cases cross systems and require us as practitioners to have a deep and well-understood toolbox to be able to work with these clients who have been struggling for years, if not decades. That toolbox will often include high-quality supplements, which, in many cases, can be safer and more effective than pharmaceuticals.As practitioners, we need to ensure that the products we recommend to our clients are of good quality and efficacy and of high value for the cost. Today, I'm excited to explore this topic deeper with Heather Florio of Desert Harvest, who has been on the cutting edge of using aloe vera and other natural products for over 30 years.In this conversation, Heather and I discuss the complexities of bladder pain, the use of aloe vera for managing conditions like interstitial cystitis, challenges with the diagnosis and treatment of complex bladder conditions, the role of diet and supplements in bladder health, the safety of long-term use of natural products, potential autoimmune aspects of bladder conditions, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/how-to-heal-bladder-pain-syndrome-and-interstitial-cystitis-with-top-quality-aloe-as-part-of-the-protocol-with-heather-florio-ceo-of-desert-harvest/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

You may remember back in late August I was promoting an event I was speaking at; the wonderful IC Retreat, a virtual 3 day event hosted by Joana Bartlett - all about empowering IC patients with tools, knowledge and support. My presentation was a deep dive into the connection between interstitial cystitis, endometriosis and SIBO and how to manage these conditions together. I was so proud of this presentation and felt so passionately that everyone should have this info, that I asked Joana if I could share it all with you… So, here it is! In this presentation I discuss: The prevalence of endo in the IC and SIBO community and the current research and statistics. The definitions of endo and SIBO, the theories behind endo development and the two key causes of SIBO. How endometriosis can lead to interstitial cystitis or bladder related conditions - and how endometriosis can lead to SIBO! How SIBO can contribute to the development of endo and interstitial cystitis, and the complexity of the chicken or the egg scenario with endo and SIBO. The co-conditions of endo, IC and SIBO: PoTs, h-EDS and MCAS and the key thread connecting them all (ahem: histamine!) and the symptoms to look out for. How endo and SIBO are diagnosed, and how to treat both conditions in context of interstitial cystitis. If you'd rather watch the presentation, you can do so here! More show notes.

Many people with interstitial cystitis think they have a bladder problem and place a lot of the blame on the food they eat, but today Nicole Cozean debunks these common myths. As a pelvic floor therapist with almost 20 years of experience in the field, she takes an orthopedic approach to treating the pelvic floor. The most effective treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction is physical therapy, which has been proven time and time again. We also dive into the misconception that the IC diet is the way to recovery, when in reality most people with interstitial cystitis aren't diet sensitive or only have a few diet triggers. Nicole shares how you can reach recovery and how to create a healthy environment along your journey.  Links:  Connect with Nicole Cozean Instagram: @nicolecozeandpt Pelvic Sanity Instagram: @pelvicsanity  Podcast for Patients: Finding Pelvic Sanity Facebook Group: Finding Pelvic Sanity Work with me: Take my FREE QUIZ to learn what's holding you back from relief from IC!

Continuing our conversation with warrior, Michelle Milheiras. Michelle began experiencing vulva pain after a tailbone injury at only eight years old. Heavy periods, chronic UTI symptoms and yeast infections followed. Doctors dismissed and misdiagnosed her for over a decade, common for pelvic issues. Her pain and symptoms became so severe she had to leave her job. She was at last diagnosed accurately with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Lupus, Anxiety and Depression. Michelle now wishes to educate, uplift, and destigmatize these conditions by creating The Happy Pelvis website. Listen as in Part Two Michelle discusses interesting Endometriosis facts, her trauma from experiencing pelvic pain at a young age, and her tips for going to the doctor.

With recent evidence Elmiron can cause long-term eye damage, many people with IC are reconsidering their use of the drug.  In this ‘sode we dive into the evidence for Elmiron's efficacy and safety to help you make an informed decision.Elmiron remains the only FDA-approved oral medication specifically for IC and many urologists prescribe it automatically because of this.However, it's unclear how much of a positive effect Elmiron has.  There have been five randomized, controlled trials with Elmiron.Two showed a slight benefit (a 25% improvement) for a small percentage of patients (between 15-16% compared to placebo)Three showed no benefit at all compared to a placebo and the largest trial wsa stopped early because the drug wasn't shown to be effective.From the data, we have to conclude either Elmiron has no benefit at all, or at best has a slight benefit from about 15% of people.  And we are left to weigh whether that upside is worth the risk.Researchers have discovered Elmiron use is linked to eye damage (though it doesn't happen for everyone on the drug).  This link gets stronger the longer you've taken the drug and the more of it you've taken.  The FDA has put a warning label on the drug and the company is being sued over it.  If you are on Elmiron, make sure to be getting your eyes examined by a retinal specialist.Other side effects of Elmiron have been called ‘mild', but for many patients are anything but.  Significant hair loss is common, as is GI upset and other issues.  With questionable efficacy in question and significant safety concerns, it would be hard to recommend anyone starting Elmiron with what we know today.  If you have been on the drug and find it helpful it's often a more difficult decision and one to make in consultation with your physician.  As with any change in medication, always make sure you discuss thoroughly with your physician.Remote ConsultationIf you're struggling to get answers from your local practitioners or aren't sure what's next, PelvicSanity offers remote consultations to give you a concrete action plan going forward.  Our expert team will evaluate your entire case and give you our honest, clear recommendations going forward.  Check out our Remote Consultation program (www.pelvicsanity.com/remote) for all the details!About UsDr. Nicole and Jesse Cozean are the founders of PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) in Southern California.

One of the most common questions we get asked is whether your symptoms are truly IC or are they pelvic floor dysfunction.  It's important to know that ‘IC' is a description of symptoms.  It just means you're experiencing pain you perceive to be coming from the bladder and urinary urgency/frequency.  But it tells us nothing about the ‘why' of your symptoms or what treatments to try.It's also important to realize that IC is not a bladder condition.  It's a pelvic pain condition.  More than 90% of people diagnosed with IC have no discernable problem with their bladder.  Even those who do have Hunner's lesions are not ‘cured' when those are removed.  Among those diagnosed with IC, nearly 90% have confirmed pelvic floor dysfunction.  And at PelvicSanity, we've literally never seen someone with IC symptoms who didn't have a pelvic floor component.It's often down to your physician whether you get an IC diagnosis.  Some urologists don't like saying ‘IC' to patients because it leads them down the bladder-centric road of Elmiron, instillations and focusing on the ‘IC diet'.  Others are more liberal with the diagnosis and use it for any patient who has the symptoms that qualify.Ultimately, if you're diagnosed with IC many - if not all - of your symptoms are likely coming from the pelvic floor.  So there's a huge overlap between these terms.  It makes sense to focus less on the label and more on finding the practitioners who can help!IC Roadmap CourseIf you've been diagnosed with IC (or suspect you may have it), we have a full-length online course with all of the information you need to understand the diagnosis and formulate your plan for recovery.  You can find The IC Roadmap course here (www.pelvicsanity.com/icroadmap)!And if you haven't already, make sure you join the Finding Pelvic Sanity online community!About UsDr. Nicole and Jesse Cozean are the founders of PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) in Southern California.

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a scary and incredibly misunderstood diagnosis.  You may have also heard terms like ‘painful bladder syndrome' or ‘bladder pain syndrome' as well.  We want to shed some light on what IC is, how it's diagnosed and what you can do about it!Definition of IC:  Interstitial cystitis is defined by the presence of two symptoms in the absence of any other explanation (like a UTI or bladder cancer).  It's:Pain or pressure we perceive to be related to the bladder, and Urinary urgency or frequencySymptoms of IC:  In addition to the hallmark symptoms of bladder pain and urinary urgency/frequency, people often have other related issues.  These can include painful intercourse, low back pain, having to go to the bathroom at night (nocturia), pain with sitting or exercise, constipation and other pelvic health symptoms. Do I really have interstitial cystitis?  IC is a diagnosis of exclusion, which means it's only diagnosed by ruling out other things (like bladder cancer or a UTI).  There's no test that can confirm you have IC (including a cystoscopy).  If you have the symptoms above - pelvic pain perceived to be related to the bladder and urinary urgency/frequency - you can be diagnosed with IC just by the symptoms.Importantly, the IC diagnosis doesn't tell you anything about WHY you have the symptoms or WHAT the best treatment option will be for you!Physical Therapy for Interstitial Cystitis.  The muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor can be responsible for every symptom of IC.  They can cause the bladder pain and urinary symptoms.  They are also the cause of seemingly unrelated symptoms like painful intercourse, low back pain, hip pain or constipation.  It's the reason symptoms are often worse when sitting or after strenuous exercise, and why they can get better after gentle stretching or a warm bath.Physical therapy is the highest recommended treatment (Grade ‘A') by the American Urological Association.  It's literally the first recommendation you should get from a urologist when IC is suspected.  We hope this gives you a good overview of the condition, and we want to leave you with the first lines of The IC Solution (link): “Thousands of people with IC live healthy, happy and pain-free lives - and so can you!”About UsDr. Nicole and Jesse Cozean are the founders of PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) in Southern California.

Emily Ullrich is a former professor of Communication Arts and Founder of Nairobi Film Institute, a nonprofit organization she created and where she taught filmmaking to college aged youth in Nairobi, Kenya for free. She was sick for many years before she was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, Endometriosis, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in 2015, and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome in 2019, and has had to adapt her lifestyle according to her medical issues. According to a study published in 2019, roughly 70% of patients diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos are women. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6858200/#:~:text=We%20found%206021%20individuals%20(men,a%20practice%20of%205000%20patients.

In this episode, we discuss how important our pelvic floor is to our overall health with guest Ingrid Harm-Ernandes. Many women experience symptoms in the pelvic region during menopause. These are known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and are often not discussed with women as they transition through menopause.Ms. Harm-Ernandes is a physical therapist, board certified in Women's Health (WCS) and Pelvic Floor Biofeedback who has been specializing in women's health for 27 years. During her 20-year tenure at Duke University Health System, she treated a wide variety of pelvic patients in the Urogynecology and Physical Therapy (PT) clinics. In addition to her role as the Co-Director and a mentor for new Pelvic PTs in the Duke Women's Health Physical Therapy Residency Program, she was also responsible for the Women's Health team program development and participated in Pelvic Floor Disorder Network (PFDN) research projects.One of the frustrating things Ingrid encountered during her practice was how it would take patients experiencing symptoms decades before they would see her and get the help they needed. As a pelvic health PT specialist, she has addressed a myriad of pelvic health conditions that dramatically impact women's lives. She realized that there is a lack of education in pelvic health on both the practitioner's and patient's side.

Life is chock full of ups and downs, and I've realized that sometimes, our worst day is meant for the greatest good. This was the case for my guests, Sheri Geoffreys and Gina Gallagher, co-founders of Yonder, a visionary brand dedicated to clean collagen products. Sheri's resilience after battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma led her to discover the power of natural healing, emphasizing the role of whole foods and pure, clean collagen peptides. Meanwhile, Gina's fight against Interstitial Cystitis and subsequent gut damage fueled her passion for nutrition and wellness. Their experiences became a catalyst for Yonder, a brand born from personal healing journeys and out of God's goodness and redemption. Sheri and Gina's experiences drove them to create a company not just about the products but a vibrant community fostering healthier, happier lives that are committed to quality and purity when others in the marketplace choose a different route. Their story is more than business—it's about integrity, personal connection, and glorifying God. So listen in as Sheri and Gina discuss how they've navigated their journey, guided by faith and integrity while empowering others towards vibrant and nourishing lifestyles.

A Million Little Things star Allison Miller shares with Lola & Meagan how she was once a client of a culty alternative medicine clinic run by a couple who claimed to know how to heal her chronic bladder condition, Interstitial Cystitis (also known as Painful Bladder Syndrome). They dig into the societal reason why women have to resort to these measures to begin with, the extremely controlled diet and lifestyle she was told to adhere to—even when she began feeling worse, and how she became severely orthorexic, terrified of most foods, chemicals, and places. Plus, how she eventually stepped away from the group. Trust Me is brought to you by BetterHelp! Visit BetterHelp.com/trust to get 10% off your first month!

On this week's episode of Food Freedom and Fertility we are going to discuss Interstitial Cystitis and Fertility with Callie Krajcir, RDN, Nutrition Coach. Callie has lived with IC since she was very young.  Elementary through college her symptoms would cause her pain and put her on a rollercoaster of emotions as she continued to see a variety of doctors who did not know what was wrong with her. During college she tried a variety of treatment methods and learned to advocate for herself because doctors would eventually give up. She felt isolated and learned how to alleviate a lot of her symptoms through her diet. She entered the field of nutrition in hopes of being able to help others suffering from the same condition. Today, Callie shares with us her story and her symptoms, which started with burning while urinating. She also helps provide insight to what a flare up could look and feel like and how it affects her personal life and how to be a supportive partner/friend to someone who maybe suffering with IC. She also shares how her journey about how nutrition helps keep her symptoms minimal and exactly what foods and other triggers that can be bothersome for IC. IC is somewhat of a taboo topic because some people feel awkward with the discussion but 4-8 million women and 1-3 million men have IC in the US. There are subtypes of IC and Callie helps break down the differences.  The onset of IC is more common around the age of 30-40. Callie shares a quick list of foods that may cause a flare up and also supplements that can support IC patients, along with suggestions of what type of treatment team would be helpful. She also shares strategies that can be put into place to help with sex. If you or someone you may know maybe suffering from IC, please visit Callie's website: https://www.callieknutrition.com to learn more. Callie has a signature program that is called Road to Remission, which she teaches about IC and nutrition After the 6 months of the program (Identifying diet triggers, elimination diets, etc.) the client gets a lifetime membership to the program. IC is a condition that requires a lot of community and support. When in Callie's program people feel as if a 50lb weight have fallen off their shoulders which helps them in the mental health arena as well as reducing the stress response in their bodies associated with that stress.

Gigi is a brilliant TMS mind who lived through 10 years of chronic illness with no idea what was wrong with her. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at the age of 14, it never made sense to Gigi that her myriad symptoms were always being blamed on this one genetic anomaly. As she grew, so did her symptoms. She was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, POTS, and others. Her worst symptoms of all were bladder pain and urgency, leading to a diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis and eventually leaving her bedridden at the age of 21. Luckily, Gigi's mother and best advocate found my podcast in a late night desperate search, and that's where the magic begins! Gigi has her Master's in Biology from Oxford, and we do a wonderful deep dive into what it means to struggle against new ideas when we are so imbued in the Western Medical Model and what it means to heal incredibly once those new ideas are embraced.
