Dr. Cory

Looking forward to seeing you SF and helping get peeps prepared for the Playa at Beyond the Fence 2024 - Playa Bound Trunk Show

HEY HEY HEY BURNERS!

It’s time to get your health geared up for Burning Man!

⭐️Party Pax season is upon us and I created these handy dandy recovery nutrient packets specifically to keep you feeling your best in environments of extreme fun and expansion.

🩷Extreme Pax are our most popular product for festivals like Burning Man. I created them in 2004 to keep my friends healthy and happy on the Playa, and are on many people’s lists of playa essentials. They do an excellent job of aiding recovery following the use of more ‘extreme’ substances as well as providing neurotransmitter and gentle detox support. We sell out every year, so get ‘em while they’re hot! 🔥

You can order them online at www.drcoryspartypax.com (link in bio) or I will be at Beyond the Fence SF- a huge, incredibly curated shopping event to get you Playa ready and beyond this weekend August 10th and 11th. Live and direct Greece—-> SF I’m heading your way.

I will have Party Pax, KA! Kanna Chews (I love these as a natural mood and energy enhancer), additional favorite herbs and supplements to keep you optimized ( gad that word is played out- isn’t it? But it fits) and a menu of vitamin injections to keep you boosted and energized out there. And if there is interest, I will bring IV gear. If so, comment below!

I miss you SF peeps- so please come by and say hi! The event is free and at Location: The Midway
Days: Saturday, August 10th & Sunday, August 11th
Time: 11am-6pm
The Midway SF - All rooms open and the patio.
Local Designers, DJ’s, & Cocktails.

I’m in India! Doing a deep dive into my health- a 14-day stint at an Ayurvedic Healing Center called Vaidyagrama in Southern India. How we treat our bodies and minds on the daily is foundational, AND it is extremely valuable to take the time to go deep with a cleanse or specialized healing program. So I am really grateful to be here.

Ayurvedic medicine is ancient and works within a framework of different constitutions or energies within the body called doshas. When these are imbalanced we have symptoms that can lead to deeper diseases if not addressed. The doctors, in addition to taking one’s case, also use the pulse to note the dosha imbalances and track it as healing progresses.

Traditionally, people do what is called Pancha Karma, which is about a 23-day process of deep body cleansing, that involves a specific diet, manual treatments, herbs and using ghee to pull out toxins from the tissues. It can be pretty intense. They also cultivate an environment here where you are to stay out of the sun, no intense exercise, and little stimulation, ie no non-fiction reading, no TV or streaming, a lot of devotional opportunities and down time. I am doing an abbreviated version of this process, but plan on coming back for the full experience in the near future

Just to give you a little taste, this is what my schedule looks like:

6:00 am Khashayam (warm herbal decoction)
6:15 Morning Chanting + Prayers - for healing
7:00 Morning medicine
7-9 Stretch, meditate, journal, read, stare into space
9:00 Medicine and breakfast
9:30 Meet with my Doctor
9:30-11:30 More reading, journaling, socializing, check emails
11:30 Treatment
12:30 Medicine and Lunch
2:15 Yoga Nidra, aka Yoga power nap
4:00 Herbal Tea and possibly second treatment of the day
4:30 Puja, cooking class or Satsang with Doctors
5:00 Khashayam #2 and meet with Doctor
6:00 Medicine and Dinner
7:00 Medicine
8:00 Before bed medicine
9:00 Sleep

It’s pretty full on but I feel very well taken care of here. 🙏 continued in comments

We are back to gathering and having some fun at the Feel Better HQ!!

The space loves having people in it, so come on down- we'll have some vendors with fun stuff, pick up some Party Pax, Apothecory products will be 10-40% off, there will be art, there will be tea service, there will be beverages + snacks. Look forward to seeing YOU!

THE FUTURE of HEALING IS CALLING… the field of psychedelic science holds so much promise for mental emotional health challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, stress and so much more in addition to our individual and global disconnect to our hearts + spirit. i’m absorbing it all, in awe of what is transpiring in terms of research, expansion into professional spaces, legalization, the role of traditional practices and plant medicine practices. Finding my way and role as a doc as the field continues to grow and emerge. Refining my new Medicine Pax to support recovery from these journeys. I am so moved by everything i am witnessing at this historical conference.

Sorry for all of you on the coast experiencing the wildfire smoke for the first time and my heart goes out to the people + wildlife of Canada 🇨🇦 with these fires. For those of you inquiring about what to do to support your lung + body heath from wildfire smoke, I have a blog post + recommendations link in my bio.

Hoping for clearer skies and a containment to the fires soon. In the meantime, please protect yourself and be prepared with lung support in the future!

Took myself on a surf adventure to the Mentawais for my 54th bday. Wanted to improve my surfing but busted my toe so had to bodyboard for a bit. Can’t say I’m mad about it! 😉

So this is 54! Calling in more good healthy fun and laughter this year. That’s what it’s all about my friends.

Thank you to all of the good people who have joined me on this adventure.

you are the best. So grateful for you in my life! Thank you for taking me to 4 different waves on my bday!

what an epic retreat you have created and thank you for being a generous teacher. Can’t wait to learn more. Bah oui!!

you are the loveliest hosts. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us.

📷 thank you for the great capture and happy bday to you as well Aries sister bday sharer. You are a superstar ⭐️

Here’s to more of a life like this 💛💛💛

WHEN YOUR PEDI MATCHES YOUR INJURY// WHAT TO DO
Apologies in advance if anyone has issues with seeing toes…. but it is for the sake of education. There are a few key things to do ASAP if you get injured on a desert island. And this should inform what to bring with you in your health/medical kit when you travel. So I stubbed my toe on a big rock on the beach 3 days into my epic Mentawais surf adventure. First things first- I washed it with soap and water. OnceI realized that my toe was in-fact injured, possibly broken, I put ice on it for the pain and inflammation and took a dose of 200 C Arnica. Arnica is the FIRST remedy to take for any type of injury- sprain, strain, bruise, break, hemorrhage, surgery or head injury. Then I used topical Traumeel Cream ( this is now called T-Relief in the states). It is a homeopathic preparation the has arnica plus a host of other remedies that facilitate the healing process. I did not need to take internal anti-inflammatories because the pain was manageable. But one could- whether that be turmeric or a few NSAIDS if needed. I also stayed off of it and taped it to my third toe to keep it stable. No stand up surfing for me - good thing I brought my body board as paddling in fins didn’t bother my toe. As you can see 2 days later it is looking (and feeling) a lot better. I am going to hit the surf again today, with tape and a reef bo**ie for protection.

So, traveling with Arnica and a topical injury cream like Traumeel is essential to keep you in the game and help you heal up quickly!

OUT OF OFFICE//

I recently learned of a concept called ‘Time Buckets’ in Bill Perkins’ book ‘Die with Nothing’. Essentially it is the concept of dividing your life into 5-year chunks and putting the things you desire to do in those buckets based on having the time, money and health/ability to do said thing.

To say this concept had a profound effect on me is an understatement.

So I planned and trained for months- more than I have ever prepared before- to take a big fat pen and cross ‘Indonesian Surf Adventure’ off my bucket list.

See, this trip falls over my 54th birthday. And although I do lots of good healthy things for myself, and have a very adventurous spirit, I’ve had injuries and I don’t know if a few years down the line I’ll be up for doing an extended stay on a tiny island off the west coast of Sumatra in the middle of the Indian Ocean to surf my heart out. But guess what- I am right now!

I encourage you to take a look at your time buckets, set some goals and live your dreams. I am going for the ‘no regrets’ approach to life, as much as possible. And it is always a work in progress.

So, I will be out of the office until Monday April 3rd and primarily on a digital detox until then.

In the meantime- here is some useful clinic information:
🌴 There will be drop-in hours for product pick-up Friday(s) March 17th and 24th from 12:00-2:00 pm at the Feel Better HQ.

🌴You can schedule appointments for consultations, IV’s and injections online, order supplements on my Fullscript platform and order Party Pax ( plus my new Medicine Pax for conscious or ceremonial healing) at 10% off on my Party Pax website- links can all be found in bio.

I will leave you with one last quote to hopefully inspire you that recently came across my path.

“There is one simple thing wrong with you – you think you have plenty of time … If you don’t think your life is going to last forever, what are you waiting for? Why the hesitation to change?” Jack Kornfield

See ya’s! GONE SURFING!

Thank you for the opportunity and thank you to all the good people for all the advice and getting me in shape!!

This is the only word that can express my feelings for matcha + green tea. It is such a helpful antioxidant for the body- especially the liver. It also has potent anti cancer properties. As far as healthy aging goes, it’s a winner. 🏆

I was feeling a little acidic and sluggish today so I paired this almond milk matcha latte with a dandelion-cucumber-lemon - ginger juice.

It can be easier to reach for the coffee-sweet- acidic- comfort food when you are feeling low- but reaching for something green or alkaline will help you bounce back a lot more effectively

🚫 URGENT! Action Needed Today! Help Protect the Future of Medicine 🚫 We know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we wanted to take a quick moment to alert you to some concerning developments and ask you to take action.   

My Sunday Happy Place. My Sabbath. My Sanctuary. What’s yours?

Sunday GTL. I may become a gym rat. As I enter my 50’s and am still rehabbing my knee from surgery, strength training has become vital for this bod. I still love my Pi-lates and I promise to get another dance reel up here soon, but for now, I’m diving into this challenge with . Curious to see where it will take me!

GLUTATHIONE// One of my most commonly used medicines is under threat by the FDA. You’ve seen and heard me post about it a lot here in terms of lung recovery from smoke and chronic infection, for the liver, for detox, for the skin. This medicine is so helpful. Patients- please go to naturopathic.org legal action and share how glutathione has helped you. Colleagues, please share how it has helped your patients. Restricting it means lack of access for all of us to this game changing remedy. It is safe. Your body makes it + compounders are highly regulated for safety. Please share asap. We only have until tomorrow to gather these stories.

Was wonderful to share this food-as-boobie medicine info with my longtime friends at foundation in support of

GREEN!! I love all things green.

💚 This is matcha. It is rich in antioxidants and green tea has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It has been associated with decreasing your risk of infection with the flu and lessening severity of colds and flus. So extrapolate from there in terms of how this beverage may be beneficial during current times.

💚 I think of eating or drinking things that are naturally green as putting deposits into my health bank account. Shoring up my reserve so that I have the resources needed if health events occur that start to make withdrawals. No one wants to get overdrawn, so it’s important to make more deposits than withdrawals.

💚There are so many delicious ways to get your greens- eating more veggies of course, but also green tea and matcha, and there are lots of greens powders out there, with ingredients like spiraling, chlorella, wheat grass, barley grass, etc. these are great sources of chlorophyll which naturally brings more oxygen and vitality to your system.

Hmmm… wonder where we’ve heard that before? Grateful that it’s coming out but it’s common sense + and your friendly local naturopathic doctors have been screaming this from the tops of our lungs from Day 1 of the pandemic. But hey, if Harvard says it’s true… looking forward to seeing what other research + studies are going to trickle out validating all the things we have been recommending but have been told that we aren’t allowed to say that. Yep. I’m slightly annoyed.
