It’s easy to believe we aren’t being ruled by ego when our thoughts about ourselves are overly critical - we mainly hear about ego in the context of arrogance or hubris, but the truth is that the ego is responsible for our sense of identity, and whether that is excessively positive or negative, the result is the same: imbalance. When we’re plagued by insecurities around our worth or value, doubting our skills or contributions, or fixated on the embarrassing thing we said or d...id, we’re vibrating in lower ego frequencies and causing harm to not only ourselves, but to others as well. This is still self obsession, and it means that we’re not able to be fully present with others, and often (usually without even realizing it), we end up projecting our fears and doubts onto them as well. It’s important to remember that ego is not the enemy - in fact, it’s necessary for survival and self preservation. However, we need to be aware of the degree of attachment we carry to the ways in which we view ourselves and our place in the world. Finding balance here can be challenging, but a really good place to start is with compassion; replacing fear with love has a tremendously powerful way of creating more balance. Does this resonate? Can you identity within observing yourself in a state of ego imbalance in either direction?

Sometimes the most potent healing potential can be found by simply immersing yourself in nature. There are a lot of ways to heal, but nature is one of the most accessible options and will always be there when you need it. Give yourself some love by giving the earth some love. Spend some time sitting by the water and listening to the rhythm of the waves, or hiking into the mountains and feeling the calm but powerful energy there. Listen to the birds chirping their joyful songs. Notice the way the sun feels on your skin. Close your eyes and listen to the gentle sound of rain hitting the windowpane. Go outside and put your toes in the grass. Hug a tree (yes, literally!). It doesn’t matter how you choose to connect with nature, just that you do.

In person monthly workshops are now going on line!! Join Dr Sonya on Sunday, December 6th for a Women’s Workshop to learn tools to manage stress, have healthier hormones, and better relationships. What defines us as Women? Is it the roles we choose, the masks we wear, the resilience we are forced to tap into to help navigate through our lives? In the desire to keep up, we lose our sense of self and our grounding. We look for distractions, vices, and anything that will gi...ve us any sense of security and steadiness. In all that the world is going through today, women all over are not only dealing with their own emotions but that of their families and communities. So, Woman, you are important. It is a need not a want when it comes to self care, because if you fall so does everything else. Join us online on December 6th and lets learn how we can shift our story, how we can anchor back into ourselves, and how we can be there for ourselves so we can be there for others. What you will need: a comfy cozy space in your home a yoga mat if you have one something to write on an openness to receive support December 6th, 2020 @1pm. We got this!!

Words cannot describe the gratitude for the people we work with. Reminders like this gift from a patient help me to understand the impact that can happen when ...people step into their innate healing. We have the privilege to be in witness to someone taking back their health. Removing the veil of toxicity, medication overwhelm, head injuries and emotional trauma allows us the opportunity to truly "see" ourselves and the blessings available. This is a collage of healing gifted to us that has so much meaning to us, the clinic and the important relationships that we have as doctors with our patients. #grateful #lovemywork #recovery #braininjury #healingthebrain #cellularhealing #cellularfitness #mitochondrialhealth #detox #detoxification

Short answer = YEEES EMFs disrupt our circadian rhythms which in turn affects our levels of : 1. Dopamine (feel good neurotransmitter)... 2. Melatonin (needed for good sleep) 3. Serotonin (feel good neurotransmitter) When there’s low melatonin our estrogen levels go up and that affects our other hormones like testosterone and progesterone needed for libido, mood and menstrual cycle. How to support our body: - Vitamin E: great antioxidant, will give us more tolerance to EMFs... found in - Fennel : helps prevent toxins from going into the colon and increases hormone synthesis.

Upping my Vit C game after the Dr Levy MD interview on @thedoctordads podcast! He taught that "chronic inflammation is Vit C deficiency and Vit C deficiency is inflammation". BOOM! What is chronic inflammation? I see it as an area of tissue change. Where there is a healing crisis happening. When chronic we will find hypoxia, increased toxicity, tightened tissue, restricted blood flow, poor lymphatic clearance, nerve irritation, nutrient depletion, oxidative damage, poor elect...rical conductivity in the cell membranes, and massively depleted energy! I don't want that going on! I don't see Vit C as the be all and end all, but essentially what this is describing is a focal are of scurvy as hypothesized by Dr Levy. We all have blind spots and areas needing increased healing, not to mention a prevention focused system! So, I'm upping my Vitamin C game with @pureintegrativepharmacy My go to Compounder! https://thedoctordads.podbean.com/e/root-cause-oral-health/ #vitaminc #vitamincdeficiency #inflammation #chronicinflammation #cellularhealing #nutritionupgrade #cellularfitness #detox #immunehealth #bulletproof

I’m sure we’ve all played seesaw at some point in our lives! When it comes to carbohydrates and fats this is the game we play... when we increase our carbohydrate intake we should decrease our fat intake and the other way around! When we increase both macronutrients (carbohydrates and fats) we have the recipe for weight gain and overtime other health complications! What about protein? ... Protein can go in the middle, whether you are doing a ketogenic diet (high fat) or relying more on a carbohydrate based diet. Variation is key when it comes to our diet so it’s okay to switch between the low and high chair of the seesaw once in a while, it’s all about variation to keep the body guessing and to be metabolically flexible! Your goals, life stage, lifestyle and health will help you determine what side of the seesaw you should be aiming for! #dietvariation #highfatdiet #ketodiet #holistichealth #healthylifestyle #nutritiontips #metabolicfixprogram #longevity #weightloss #metabolism

Naturopathic medicine is about getting to the root cause of illness! In this day and age that we live in it’s not enough to depend solely on a single medicine/pill to cure, it takes a holistic approach to address the complexities of our food habits, toxicity exposure, our relationship to self, our supplementation, is exercise regimens and objective lab tests to find the course of action. This process takes time in order to make changes last and maintain health. Patience and... trusting the process are fundamental to succeed with naturopathic medicine. #patience #naturopathicmedicine #holisticapproach #longevity #healthylifestyle #foodhabits #eatinghealthy #prevention #rootcause #innateintelligence #healing

When choosing oils it’s important to think about the use of it. Some oils shouldn’t be heated because they are sensitive to heat and will burn easily, those should be used for dressing on salads or cooked foods or even on smoothies! Look for quality cold-pressed unrefined oils!

Our lymphatic system is a network that runs through our whole body just like the circulatory system EXCEPT it has no pump so it’s up to us to make sure it’s flowing! This is an amazing tool to activate it and prevent it from clogging which can result in health challenges as it’s part of our fighting system! #lymphaticsystem #biohacking #longevity #optimalhealth #naturopathicmedicine #longevitylab #biohackingtools

What is UBI? Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation. Yes, putting light right into your blood is a therapy and has been around for over 100 years! The Nobel Prize in P...hysiology or Medicine 1903 was awarded to Niels Ryberg Finsen "in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science." It's common place in our modern paradigm to discount the wisdom of the past, thank goodness for people like Tom Lowe for dedicating his life work to developing technology and training doctors around the world on practices such as these and Ozone therapy!

Such a great group of people joining us in The Metabolic Fix!! Thanks for all your attention and presence everyone :)
