EastWest Healing

Here is how we helped a TNNS member fix her chronic fatigue in less than 2 weeks!
 
Now let’s preface this with she is not healed but finally going in the right direction.
 
This is someone who has had chronic fatigue, histamine issues, feeling dizzy all the time for the last 4 YEARS to the point of not being able to get out of bed to do anything! Not to mention how debilitating this is being a breastfeeding STAHM!!
 
Just like you she…
💊 Tried all the supplements
🧪 Did all the labs
🥼 Worked with all the specialists
…and tried all the modalities!
 
But she still struggled and got to a point where all those things made her worse. So, what did we do differently?

We focused on her story, her patterns, her environment, and the things she had control over to change. What we have done so far that has helped is amazing because the program has not EVEN STARTED YET!
 
⚓️ We focused on resourcing herself in the morning to anchor the system before the kids wake up, to create cues of safety for the system
☀️ We focused on stepping outside in the morning sun first thing to do her devotion vs inside under blue light.
🥤We focused on eating a light and easy protein dominant snack if she woke up with no appetite.
🥩 But if she did wake hungry, she would adapt and eat a protein and fat dominant dense meal.
⬇️ We focused reducing her carb intake the first half of the day.
 
This alone has gotten her to the point in 2 weekswhere…
“I have only been doing what was suggested and have already seen improvements! I was able to clean my entire house by myself and was able to do a massive amount of laundry, two loads of dishes, sweep my floors, run to the grocery store and did it all on the same day! The next day I thought I would feel awful and decided to make sure I took it easy, but I woke up feeling energized and it was a good energetic feeling not an adrenal rush where I felt panicked. I feel encouraged!”

How I Helped My Client Wake Up Hungry in Less Than 2 Months

Your body is always talking to you—are you listening?

Ideally, you should wake up with the sun and a healthy appetite. If you don’t, it’s a sign that your body might be stressed. Stress can disrupt your normal hunger signals, even if you don’t feel stressed.

Here’s a proven method that’s worked for 100s of clients:
☀️ Morning Sunlight: Step outside and soak up some morning rays. This helps lower cortisol levels and kick-start your HPA axis, setting you up for a better day.
🥛Light Snack : Start with something light, like a small 4oz protein shake. Think of this as kindling for your metabolism.
🥩Dense Breakfast 🍳: About 60-90 minutes later, have a hearty breakfast. It doesn’t need to be huge, just nutrient-dense—like 2 eggs, 1oz ground beef, and some veggies.

There’s more to it, including personalized habits, workouts, and nutrition. But this simple routine has helped many people start waking up hungry again within just 2 months.

When you stop pathologizing and start seeing your symptoms as messages from your body, healing will truly begin.

The difference between you and me/us?

When it comes to helping people, we teach them how to fish so they’re fed for a lifetime—not just for a day.

A transformational gift we learned through our own personal journeys.

Too many people, including practitioners, are telling you how to fish—offering quick fixes like:
❌Weight loss through calorie cutting and over-exercising
❌Detoxes and cleanses
❌Massive supplement and hormone protocols
❌Endless healing modalities that “fix” you
❌Expensive labs that mimic conventional approaches

But here’s the problem: when you chase the effectsof how you’re living, eating, breathing, and moving, you sacrifice long-term health for short-term results.

After the book, course, 30-day detox, or pricey protocol—what then? You’re back at square one, without having addressed the root causes of your symptoms.

Sticking to the same path is insanity! It leaves you more confused, symptomatic, overwhelmed, stuck, angry, exhausted—and deeper in debt. You don’t want that, right?

What if instead, you focused on building long-term health? Imagine saying, “I have all the pieces to MY healing puzzle, I just need help rearranging and aligning them.”
Now, think about how your future would look:
✅ You’ll see both short-term improvements AND long-term vitality.
✅Health becomes a natural part of your life, not something that dictates it.
✅You’ll feel more confident, energized, and free—with a simplified approach that saves you money.

The path to lasting health doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be sustainable.

3 Reasons the Adrenal Cocktail (or any mocktail) isn’t working for you

Adrenal cocktails and mocktails are often hyped as “magic” potions in the metabolic world. While they can be useful tools, they’re often misunderstood and misused. Let’s clear up some common misconceptions:

1️.They’re not a meal. Mocktails are not food substitutes and shouldn’t be used as your primary source of carbs, meals, or snacks.

2. They’re not a quick fix for imbalances. The sodium-potassium ratio on your HTMA won’t magically resolve by just sipping a mocktail.

3. They’re not the foundation of healing. True healing starts with lifestyle and food foundations. Incorporate the adrenal cocktail only when those are solid and your body is more regulated.

While some people swear by them, many others heal perfectly fine without ever touching a mocktail. Healing isn’t about any single solution—no one thing will heal you. The real magic happens when you take a whole-body, integrated approach.

Remember: You hold the power to heal yourself. ✨ That’s your greatest superpower!

Early bird enrollment MAY end today 😂 It’s supposed to but we are being transparent and may or may not extent it. Haven’t decided.

You cannot heal if you’re committed to being sick.

I say this with all the love and compassion in the world, but think about it…

If your goal is health and healing, why then is so much of your focus on the dis-ease?

Here’s a glimpse of the fear-driven narratives shaping people’s healing journeys:
👎🏻 “GMO foods are toxic! And don’t forget fluoride—it’s harmful too!”
👎🏻 “EMFs will wreck your nervous system!”
👎🏻 “You’re drowning in excess estrogen!”
👎🏻 “Gluten, sugar, and dairy are the enemy!”
👎🏻 “Watch out for PUFAs—they’ll destroy your health!”
👎🏻 “The soil is dead, so you need endless supplements!”
👎🏻 “Parasites are eating you alive from the inside out!”
👎🏻 “You must have blue blockers, red light therapy, and every gadget out there to heal!”

The concerns are real—yes, we’re exposed to many things that can disrupt our balance and impact our health.

BUT here’s what I really want you to hear: the constant fear and stress of trying to take every “right” step toward perfect health is counterproductive.

Fear triggers a chain reaction in your body. The amygdala, the brain’s fear center, signals the hypothalamus to activate your fight-or-flight response. Your adrenal glands then pump out stress hormones that spike your heart rate, elevate blood glucose, convert fats to sugar, suppress your immune system, and create chronic inflammation.

Yes, we face a lot of external stressors—pesticides, GMOs, EMFs, poor water and soil quality, and more. But when we live in constant fear, we only add more inflammation and weaken our resilience.

When we let go of what we can’t control and focus on what we can—like surrounding ourselves with things that nourish us physically and emotionally—we create health. By giving ourselves permission to relax, enjoy food, and savor life, we bring our bodies into a more balanced, supportive state.

So, I challenge you: Shift your focus to what’s right in your body, what you can eat, what you do have, and the time you do get.

This shift reduces stress, reconnects you with your body, and creates safety so your body can find its balance.

How I am going to help my client her energy back in the next 3 months.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter what disease or symptoms our clients have, fatigue is always at the top of the list.

This client, actually practitioner, came to me with severe hormone issues, weight gain, leptin resistant, headaches, low cortisol, and extreme fatigue.

Just like you she tried the conventional route of labs and taking hormones, adrenal supplements and more but it didn’t work. Even her own methods didn’t seem to do the trick.

But the missing piece that I identified was her morning routine. Its been like this for 18yrs, creating her current state. But not one person identified this and kept throwing labs and supplements at her.

She would wake up, not eat, and go train because she had to…it was a part of her job. She would wake as early as 4:30am, teach all morning without food, then eat mid day finally and have to take a nap.

No food, no sunlight, tons of blue light = all the above!

What we did instead was…
Worked on adding blue blockers when needed to protect against the blue light.
Working on her schedule to get other staff members to teach.
Focused on waking up and seeing the sun first thing, then eating breakfast.
Eating a dense breakfast outside or at sunrise.
Going for walks 3x a day instead of working out right now.

And guess what, after only one month her energy is way better, her digestion is better, and her sleep is better.

Struggling with hormone imbalances? Here’s what I wish I’d known sooner.

For years, I battled hormone issues, starting as early as 10 years old 😳. Like many of you, I tried countless supplements, diets, and treatments, only to find myself back at square one.

But everything changed when I focused on balancing my cortisol naturally—no labs, no supplements, just simple lifestyle tweaks that transformed my health.

Here’s what worked for me:
👓 Blocking Harmful EMF: I started wearing blue light blockers before sunrise and after sunset, and during screen time. (Yep, I thought it was hogwash too!)

☀️ Morning Sunlight Exposure: I make it a point to soak in the morning sun to reset my HPA axis and activate my parasympathetic nervous system.

🚶‍♀️ Midday Walks: I walk during UVA hours and at solar noon to naturally boost hormone production.

🌅 Sunset Ritual: I step outside at sunset to help my body transition from day to night, moving from pituitary activation (alertness) to pineal stimulation (rest), supporting my parasympathetic nervous system.

If you’re on a journey to regulate your cortisol and balance your hormones, and you’re NOT taking these steps, you’re missing a powerful piece of the puzzle.

Remember, you have the power to take control, and it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Probiotics are a waste of money if you are not managing your stress.
 
It would be equivalent to moving new furniture into a house that’s on fire. Doesn’t make sense eh.
 
In simple terms, chronic stress > decrease hydrochloric acid > alters the pH of the entire GI system > affecting how the small intestine releases lactase, lipase, sucrase > affecting the release of pancreatic enzymes and the dominos keep falling.
 
Additionally, decreased HCL production alters pH signaling, reducing gastric motility, the fermentation of food in the gut and the perfect breeding ground for harmful bacteria. This is how SIBO forms, showing you that SIBO is not the primary issue, stress is.
 
It also needs to be noted that HCL is an official gate keeper of the small intestine, ensuring nothing seeps back out into the stomach. Anytime HCL drops, your stomach’s ability to digest and absorb protein is affected. This means mineral and fat- soluble vitamin deficiencies begin to develop.
 
As we always say, if you do not make the appropriate changes, nothing can or will change.

So why take something to reduce inflammation when you can  make simple shifts to address the variables causing it?

“There’s a saying that could truly change your healing journey: Stop trying to eat all the tadpoles—just eat the frog!

What does this mean? Many of you are doing all the things you think you should do based on podcasts and social media, but those might not be what you actually need. In fact, they could be the very things draining your energy, perpetuating your issues and keeping you from the very things YOU NEED to heal.

The ‘frog’ is that one crucial thing you need to do first thing in the morning—the task you’ve been procrastinating on or avoiding.

After 24 years in clinical practice, we can tell you this: More isn’t always better. In fact, doing more can be the exact opposite of what you need to unlock your healing power.

Here’s a simple daily habit that has dramatically improved our health (and can yours too!)!

Most people say the first thing you should do upon waking is to eat, not drink coffee. While this is partially true, they’re missing a crucial step that dictates your daily biological rhythms, as well as how well you’ll sleep at night.

Step outside and catch the morning sunrise before turning on lights, looking at your phone, drinking coffee, or eating.

Seems simple and elementary but it is grounded in tons of research and human evolution: Sunrise light is rich in infrared and red light, which activates all your energy systems. This light triggers receptors in your retina, cornea, and skin, communicating with your SCN and HPA axis to get your body ready for the day.

If you skip this and your primary light source is blue light, it overstimulates the HPA axis and raises cortisol, pushing you into a stressed state.

Your adrenals bear the brunt all day. Seeing the sunrise will:
☀️ upport the HPA axis and promote a parasympathetic state.
☀️Balance the cortisol/melatonin relationship for better sleep.

Truth is, the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you begin your bedtime routine.

If you wake up before sunrise, wear orange blue blockers until you can get outside.

If you drive to work while the sun is rising, roll down your windows and take off your sunglasses.

Spend a few minutes outside when you arrive at work to catch the sunrise.

The more morning light you get in your eyes, the better your body can meet the demands of the day.

Our culture is drifting away from nature’s rhythm, causing more health issues. Most people wake up, check their phone, rush around, skip breakfast, grab a coffee, wear sunglasses, and spend the day indoors.

Food, supplements, red light therapy, and hormones can only do so much when you are skipping over this essential step.

Light is the primary support for your cells to function properly. Without it, you’re just chasing your tail.

Reclaiming stillness within vs surviving in physiological chaos and in shutdown.

“We depend on each other for survival and we need to be able to disarm our defenses and come into a shared experience of immobilization, first to meet our early nurturing needs and then for ongoing moments of intimate connection.” Deb Dana

So how can you move toward stillness without causing complete shutdown?
Stillness is only possible through the dorsal vagal (deep parasympathetic – immobilization) and ventral vagal (parasympathetic – social engagement) circuits working together- being able to engagement between the two allows us to experience immobilization without fear. 

“When actions of immobilization are coupled with feelings of connection – feelings that don’t trigger defense – then immobilization without fear is possible” Deveraux, 2017.

Sitting in silence with someone without feeling the need to fill the space with words is a measure of feeling safe in stillness, the ability to turn inward and become quiet, physical contact like holding hands, dancing or sexual intimacy, even sleeping next to someone tests the ability to be immobilized without fear.

In the world we live in today, this has become a challenge for many. There is too much threat in being still and the nervous system quickly moves out of connection into collapse or disassociation. We can reshape this co-regulation between these two piece of the ANS through micro-moments: words offer a gentle entry (still, quiet, or at rest), coming into the body through reoriention to self throughout the day to remind the brain you are safe, finding breath, visualization of safe space and experiences, all provide opportunity to support relationship and opportunities for co-regulation.

It is true -our life experiences (stress, trauma-hospitalizations, traumatic births, etc.) shape our nervous system. For some it can even be preset through generational experiences. However, through taking slow and steady steps toward creating safe space, both internal and external, we ALL have the ability to take control, and reshape and create a system of resiliency and adaptability.

We challenge you to dig deep and answer this question for yourself: Why continue to do the same thing and expect a different result?

Before any labs or supplements come into your healing here are the areas we have found over 24 years of clinical practice hold all the power in your healing:

➡️Understanding your unique story and how this has shaped your physiology and the things you need day to day.

➡️Turning your attention to basic human needs (light, nutrition, rhythm, structure, pace of life) significantly impact your physiology.

➡️Learning how to optimize the health and state of your metabolism, which influences your hormones and overall health.

➡️Holding your attention on what is right with you vs. not what’s wrong.

➡️Addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms, to create lasting health.

Histamine is a chemical involved in your immune system, digestion, and central nervous system. As a neurotransmitter, it communicates important messages from your body to your brain. Histamine is produced by basophils and mast cells to dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow, and allow immune cells to reach damaged areas and fight pathogens.

The two major enzymes that reduce histamine in the body are N-Methyltransferase (HMT) and diamine oxidase (DAO). HMT works with histamine in our central nervous system, while DAO breaks down histamine in the foods we consume.

Chronic stress stimulates the hypothalamus, which controls chemical output from the adrenal glands and sympathetic output via the spinal cord. This stress activates mast cells, especially in the gut, which release histamine. This creates a vicious cycle of inflammation.

On a cellular level, when mast cells are activated, histamines eject potassium and magnesium from the intracellular space and flood the cell with calcium, sodium, and water to flush out the problem. This process, while beneficial short-term, becomes harmful when chronic. Therefore, creating change at the cellular level is crucial for balance.

Here’s what we know:
✅ Metallothionein can be increased by chronic ACTH and cortisol production, and it binds to copper trapped within cells, leading to a copper deficiency.

✅ Additionally, the adrenals regulate stress and inflammation and support the liver’s production of ceruloplasmin (bioavailable copper). Chronic stress impairs this function, causing a drop in bioavailable copper.

The solution isn’t in a supplement; it’s in creating change to produce physiological change.

Anytime we talk minerals the first thing that everyone brings up is “Should I run an HTMA?”…and when they do, against our advice, here is what comes next…
 
…you think that all you have to do is take a supplement, or eat the food, and your will replenish your mineral tanks.
 
But here’s the untold secret … mineral depletion is a direct consequence of chronic stress on your system. 
 
No supplement, food, or modality alone can fully replenish minerals without a proper strategy to manage stress internally. Our primary focus? Down-regulating that stress response.
 
Chronic stress wreaks havoc—sodium retention, potassium loss, magnesium depletion, copper imbalance—the list goes on. 
 
To regulate this stress and inflammation, we must support cellular oxygen and nutrient uptake. And the true source? Minerals from the food we eat. But receiving these minerals isn’t just about what we eat; it’s about how we live—our habits, thoughts, breath, and movement ‼️
 
The daily physiological stress isn’t just an event; it’s an adaptation to our entire environment. No supplement or quick fix can replace the need for genuine change. It’s a journey of creating new, healthy behaviors—it takes time, effort, and commitment.
 
You all are lost in HTMAs, chugging supplements, and obsessing over mineral-rich foods, all in pursuit of someone else’s idea of ‘optimal.’
 
But here is the kicker, your HTMA is showing you the state of your systems and how they are adapting to chronic stress… It’s a report card on how your body handles stress, how you adapt to your external environment, and how that impacts your internal balance:
 
Na:K ratio reflects stress levels.
Ca:Mg ratio hints at blood sugar management.
Ca:K ratio offers insights into thyroid activity.
Na:Mg ratio indicates adrenal health.
Zn:Cu ratio relates to hormonal balance.
Ca:P ratio reflects oxidative stress.
 
However, none of these values will ever indicate the need for a supplement protocol. Rather, they illustrate how your lifestyle, diet, and stress management influence your biological responses. 
 
You can’t out eat unhealthy habits.
 
There is always a time and place for an HTMA but it is never Step #1.
