Want to Recover Your Health?

 Ask the Doctor Inside You!

For the past seven weeks we've been exploring one simple idea: your body is always trying to move toward health.

Hello!

In our last email, we talked about how your body responds to information—and how the wrong information can interfere with normal function.

But here's an interesting thought.

What if the most knowledgeable doctor you'll ever have is already inside you?

Think about it.

• Who healed your last cut?
• Who fights infections while you sleep?
• Who decides which tissues need repair?

You don't make those decisions, and neither does your doctor.

The intelligence running your body does.

We've been calling this simple principle:

Intelligence directs healing.

In a very real sense, your body is its own doctor.

So here's the question we've spent more than 30 years exploring at Alternative Health Atlanta:

If the body is its own doctor, why not ask what help it needs?

That's where our approach becomes different.

Your nervous system is one of the main ways the intelligence running your body communicates with it. So, to ask what help it needs, we "tap the phone line."

We use a method called muscle response testing to observe how the nervous system responds to different challenges.

Those responses can give us clues about what may be stressing the body and what kinds of support to investigate.

We combine those clues with your health history, examination findings, laboratory testing, and—most importantly—how your body responds as we work together.

And our role?

We like to think of ourselves as the doctor's assistants.

We investigate. We provide support. We observe the results. And we make adjustments as we learn more.

Because our goal isn't to take over the healing process.

It's to help the intelligence that directs healing do its job. We do this by working WITH the body, not ON the body.

If you've been struggling with a chronic health problem and would like us to look more deeply at what may be interfering with your body's ability to function normally, complete our free Health Analysis.

It takes about ten minutes, and it helps us begin identifying patterns that may have contributed to where you are today.

After reviewing your answers, we'll schedule a complimentary phone consultation to discuss whether our approach may be a good fit for you.

Hello!

I want to say something about marijuana because I am seeing more and more people using THC every day—whether they smoke it, vape it or take gummies—and believing that because it is natural, legal in many places and socially accepted, it must be harmless.

It isn’t.

I also understand why people use it. People are hurting. They use THC for physical pain, anxiety, stress, trauma, sleep or simply because they want their brain to quiet down for a while. I have tremendous compassion for that.

But feeling better in the moment is not the same thing as becoming healthier.

THC changes how your brain functions while you are using it. It can affect memory, attention, learning, reaction time and decision making. With frequent use, tolerance can develop, and what began as something used occasionally can become something you feel you need every day.

And gummies aren’t somehow exempt because there is no smoke. The delivery method is different, but THC is still THC. Edibles can actually be particularly easy to overconsume because their effects are delayed and can last much longer.

But I think we also need to talk about something beyond the physical effects.

If you are genuinely trying to change your life, you need access to your feelings, judgment, motivation and perception. Continually using a drug to numb anxiety, sadness, stress, pain or uncomfortable emotions can interfere with the very work required to understand and change those things.

If you need a mind-altering substance every day to sleep, relax, cope, escape your thoughts or simply feel okay, that deserves attention. I don’t say that with judgment. It tells me there may be something underneath it that needs help.

And there are other options.

Pain can be evaluated and treated rather than continually muted.

Sleep problems deserve a search for their underlying cause.

Anxiety and trauma can be addressed.

Exercise, meditation, breath work, social connection, physical rehabilitation, acupressure and functional nutrition can all become pieces of a much larger strategy depending on what a person is dealing with.

The goal isn’t to prove that someone can live without ever taking a medication. The goal is to stop automatically reaching for intoxication as the primary way of managing life.

I want people to be able to feel joy without needing a substance to create it. To sleep without having to get high first. To manage a difficult day without escaping it. To experience their emotions, work through them and trust their own brain again.

Living drug free has become strangely underrated.

There is something incredibly valuable about being fully present in your own life.

 Please reach out if you’d like to talk about this. I’m here. There are things we can do about it all.

For the past six weeks we've been exploring one simple idea: your body is always trying to move toward health.

Hello!

Last week we talked about things that can get in the way of healing.

But there's another kind of interference that's even more interesting.

What if your body isn't confused about what to do...

What if it's simply responding to the information it's receiving?

Think about a smoke detector.

Its job is simple:

Detect smoke. Sound the alarm.

But what happens when you burn the toast?

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

There's no house fire.

But the detector received information that said there might be one.

So it did exactly what it was designed to do. 

Your body faces the same challenge every day.

It constantly receives information from inside and outside your body—and then has to decide:

What does this mean, and what should I do about it?

Usually, it gets the answer right.

But sometimes it may respond to something harmless as though it's a threat...

Or continue a protective response long after it's useful.



The response may make sense based on the information the body is receiving...

But that doesn't mean the response is helping you.

That's why simply trying to make a symptom disappear can miss the bigger question:

Why is the body producing the symptom in the first place?

Remember:

Intelligence directs healing.

But intelligence depends on information.

That's why our approach isn't simply to tell the body what we think it should do.

We want to discover:

What is the body responding to—and what help is it asking for?

Often the answer isn't what you'd expect.

Intelligence depends on information. Change the information, and you may change the body's response.

If your body could tell us what's interfering with it...
wouldn't it make sense to ask?
