Stop Being an Expert on Your Disease

 

Is a Diagnosis a Badge of Honor?  This might be a touchy subject, but there should be an open discussion regarding the ownership people take over a diagnosis given to them by a doctor.  

Folks come to me and tell me what they already have.  I try to pull people out of that mind-set.  I find it very depressing.  They are so accepting of someone else's title or label lavished upon them. I prefer they ignore that kind of identity. 

This is what I often hear:

They inform me that they have arthritis. I say, "so what?"

They have bone on bone.  My response, "I don't care."

They have an autoimmune disease.  Again, I don't care. 

I already know I have sciatic.  Me: Oh really? You do?

There's a knot over here.  Me: Nice... but I'm not really impressed. 

They are telling me what they think I want to hear. 

I don't want to hear that.

Then I get to hear about all the treatments they have tried.  Some work for a while.  Some don't work at all.  Some treatments made them worse. They probably will go for the latest new surgical technique and the saga goes on and on.  

They just know the current scenario they are in and they live whatever kind of story the Mayo Clinic website tells them.  

If you're going to repeat what everyone else has said, where is the new health?  Where are you going to go?  If you allow the textbooks to predict your future, we're in a heap of trouble. 

If you are an expert on your disease, you are not living --- you are just existing. 

You need to be an expert in yourself.  You need to be an expert in your brain's perception.  You need to put more faith in your nervous system instead of a broken medical system. 

You are not a disease.  I shouldn't have to state the obvious.  

If you are looking for something different, it's time your language was different. 

Welcome to Brain Based Chiropractic. 

Welcome to a world that responds to your brain and not the old, tired textbooks.

Your brain has a better perception of what is possible, if you let it thrive.

Talk to Your Brain

You don't have to be an expert in your disease.  Be an expert in you!

The Smart Surrender

Get Your Confidence Back!

Looking back on my journey, I've come to the conclusion that no one is interested in the mind/body connection.  Some of you may be the exception.  So, you may relate to my story.  This connection exists whether you acknowledge it or not.  Why live by default when you can make it remarkable? So, I say, give this connection your attention because it will save your life.

When I was a mental health therapist, I thought we were working with the mind.  Turns out not. We were working with manipulation.  That's why I didn't last there too long. The mental health profession actually ignores the mind and the body.  Funny I would say that after all these years.  The mental health field was very good at taking away your dignity. Most of us in the profession had no intention of doing that, but it is a system that belittles people and gives up on them. 

I see BOTH the mental health field and the rest of mainstream medicine letting us down. I went to school to learn about the mind.  I did that.  Then I went back to school to learn about the body.  Checked that off my list, too.  Our knowledge about the body isn't that impressive either. (Disappointing sigh.)

The link between the mind and body is still ignored.  I thought chiropractic college would honor that link and I would find fulfillment.  And there was failure again. Chiropractic college let me down. 

I've seen enough mainstream medicine, mental health care and even modern chiropractic to know we've always cut ourselves short.  We've dropped the ball. We've cheated ourselves. And my journey continued.

I eventually stumbled across the more organized ideas of neuroplasticity and psychoneuroimmunology.  And then I finally realized something.  I knew it instinctively all this time. I had the understanding a long time ago.  I was probably born with it. (You do, too. Reclaim it today.)  

Why did I think I needed some type of formal education to confirm this?  Early programming, of course.  That little birdie inside of you that says you need acceptance and approval from some kind of authority. 

I wanted acknowledgment of some sort.  There's a foolish idea that your "diamond in the rough" talent will be fostered and fulfilled through higher education.  (Sarcastic laugh.)

Many of my peers said to just get through it, get the degree and then go do what you want to do.  Shocked by their comments I wanted to believe I could glean great clinical pearls from my professors' experiences. 

You can't go out into the field without some kind of degree, and the certification that you jumped through the hoops.  And did these hoops help me find what I was searching for? Somewhat...and I've made my peace with it because I have a job to do.  People need their confidence back. 

I can only do what I know best, what resonates with my soul.  

You can partner with your mind and body or you can be one big cantankerous hindrance to your mind and body. 

Sad to say this, but most holistic healers have no idea what it means to partner with the mind and body. It took me a while to get out of that trance, too. 

So, how's your journey going?  I just laid it bare here with my confession. Are you ready to upgrade your journey?

Whatever you're dealing with, we can partner with your brain and body rather than feel like we're at battle.  Even if you are using "natural remedies" and it feels like a battle, I have an alternative for you. 

There is no battle that needs to be won.  You only need to be a partner. 

I teach that. 

Can't wait to hear from you. 

See you at the table....the chiropractic adjusting table.

Brain First / Body Freedom ("Brain First" Boot Camp)

Pain, anxiety & low energy are learned.  

How did that happen?  

The good news: anything learned can be unlearned with new information. 

I call it boot camp because of the intensive nature of this coaching program... along with the intensive body-mind results you can experience. 

Roll up your sleeves. Boot camp means you're ready to get your hands dirty.  And your feet!  You're ready for something different. 

"Brain First" is the protocol that will change how you look at your life and health forever.  

The ideas you and I grew up with are inefficient and ineffective.  (Some are downright dangerous.)

Brain First / Body Follows is best way to sum it up.  

We've been going about it in the wrong order!!

Think in the reverse to rev up your life!! 

Ready for a real change?  

Get off the hamster wheel.  

Do something totally different like Albert Einstein said!!!

Brain First Boot Camp is $2 a minute.  You pick how long you want your sessions to be.  You pick how many sessions you want as you progress.

You are here on this earth to grow your talents everyday. 

Don't stay the same.  Dare to Grow.

Here's an earlier promo I used in the past to tell the story....   can't wait to hear from you.

Half Healthy is Half Sick

Half a Solution Is Still Half a Problem

Does your health care feel like unfinished business?

Time to put together a “whole approach.”

How has unfinished business affected you?

Emergency Medicine →	Too Late It doesn't have to be too late. Tissue damage is considerable when an emergency intervention is needed. But we can change that trend.
Annual Screenings →	Epic Fail Researchers have said screenings do not change outcomes, but make profit for hospitals. How can you have true confidence that you are doing the right things for your future?
Maintenance Drugs →	Miserable Decline There is no medicine that restores health. Maintenance drugs do not rebuild failing tissues. We need to step back and ask why tissue does failure begins.
Surgery →	Extreme Risks Why do you sign all those disclosure forms? Because unfavorable outcomes are high. Failed back surgery syndrome has it's own insurance code. Back surgeries have an 85% fail rate. And that's only one example.
Traditional Offices →	Condescending Doctors know they are limited by the bureaucracy of medicine. You have to wonder how severe is your doctor's state of demoralization. Doctors commit suicide at double the rate of the rest of the population. Invite them to join you on this healing journey.

We have an overburdened health care system that helps you get somewhat better, but you fall through the cracks.

Q. Why?

A. 1- No one makes the time to give you what you really need.

2- What you really need cannot be patented or profited but it's still worthwhile.

3- What you really need comes from YOU with a little bit of education and coaching. I know your story. I lived it. --Dr. Lisa

Toss the Labels, They Don't Serve You
Just to let you know, I have added more videos to the list.  I don't always put them up here on the blog.  You can subscribe to get instant notifications.  I try to get one or two uploaded each week, when I have some breaks in my day.  I never edit, so what you see is what you get.  LOL.  

There's so much great health information that I can't delve into during your chiropractic visit.  This is your chance you fill your brain with positive inspiration.  Even though we have a habit of labeling everything as a disease or dysfunction, with the media pounding that hard into our heads, we don't have to take on that negativity.
