Health Upgraded (+ An Update on My Health)

I made a quantum leap with my health and there's no going back. Here's what shifted!

Last week, the worst possible scenario happened in my business.

Actually, let me rephrase that: what I had thought would be the worst thing actually happened.

I don’t want to say I willed it into existence, but for years, it sat at the back of my mind. It was the thing I thought about when I couldn’t sleep. And the reason I waited days before opening my inbox.

And then it happened.

What surprised me the most isn’t that it happened, it’s that it didn’t break me.

How could the worst thing I had imagined end up being one of the best things?

I’m still grappling with the mind-bend of it. My immature brain feels betrayed that I’m not creating more drama around something that arguably has a lot of validity.

But honestly, it feels like a much-needed ending of an era. Putting to rest an old and outdated story. It weirdly feels like sweet relief.

I’ve come to realize it’s hard to build a new story when you keep trying to use the old one as a foundation.

Sometimes it’s best just to rip it up and start over. Using what was, not as the basis for your life, but as lessons.

Let me explain what I mean.

Upgraded Health = New Foundations

For most of my life, my foundation was built on the belief:

• That I had to work to arrive.

• That health was a destination.

• That my body was a problem to solve.

• That if I just tried harder, learned more, followed the right rules, I’d finally be okay.

Even deeper in that foundation was the belief that my worth was somehow tied to how I looked and how well I performed.

Yet the thing about foundations is that they always produce the same outcome.

You can build a thousand different houses on it, through different programs and approaches. Or even a different extreme, like I did, moving from obsessing over health to quitting it, but you’ll always end up in the same place.

It’s a new kind of insanity. Not where you’re expecting different results while doing the same thing, but rather expecting different results while doing something different and questioning why it didn’t work. It didn't work, not because of what you were trying to do, but where you were trying to build it. If the foundation has holes, it doesn’t matter what kind of mansion you build; the pests can still get in.

Last year, instead of building another house, I decided to rebuild the entire foundation. And it didn’t happen by learning more or adding more, but by changing what everything was resting on. In the process, my world shifted.

• I lost weight without trying.

• I build muscle without forcing workouts.

• I have more capacity and regulation.

• I have room to actually live my life.

But the thing that stood out the most was not all of this shiny stuff, but how I handled the moment I thought would break me. Shockingly, my worst-case scenario didn’t even knock me down.

Not because it wasn’t hard. It was. Not because I didn’t grieve. I did. But because I had the capacity to move through it. The stress didn’t dysregulate me as it would have in the past.

Truthfully, in the world we live in and are moving towards, I think we’re going to need more of that.

Insert: The New Human

There is a lot of talk in the health community about the shift our bodies are undergoing as they work to keep up with the changing environment. Of course, we’re noticing it in the negative ways, like through rising cancer rates and autoimmunity. But there is another side, a really positive side. And that side all boils down to your foundation and energy creation.

An unstable foundation leaves you:

• Looking for a root cause

• Blaming your body

• Fearing symptoms and diagnosis

• Looking for a disease

• Living out your labels

• Hating your body

• Hating the process of living well

• Overcomplicating

• Deconstructing yourself

• Chasing the right answer or the perfect solution

• Over-trying

• Never “arriving”

But a stable foundation is the opposite:

It sees your body as good and recognizes you have what you need. Your job is not to change your body but to support your body. Resourcing it so that it can thrive.

Building a strong foundation comes down to resourcing.

When my body got sick, it wasn’t betraying me. It was responding exactly as it should to the foundation I had built.

It didn’t make sense at the time. How could I have possibly gotten sick while “doing everything right?” I wanted answers to the problems at hand.

At the time, I blamed mold, which was playing a part. But the ultimate root cause is never the mold, hormones, parasites, symptoms, or diagnosis.

Those are simply the by-products of the actual root — a low-energy state. When you don’t have the capacity to embody your space, you open the door for other things to take up residence. You essentially consent to disease.

A body without enough energy and safety becomes vulnerable. Not because it’s failing but simply because it’s under-resourced. Making the real root cause an energy issue.

What I’ve learned is something I’ve gone back to over and over, just without an explanation: Health doesn’t cost a thing. It’s not dependent on socioeconomic class, race, or even culture. But health is inside you, or better said, it is you.

You have what you need. The secret is simply learning how to live it out. It’s learning how to resource your body to rev up its fuel source.

It’s a version of health that happens regardless of supplements or biohacks. In fact, it’s one that needs to be established before you engage with those things.

We often go about this backwards: generating the same scenario I once lived, doing all the right things, engaging with health, only to end up more unhealthy.

The reason healthy things can become unhealthy is not that your body is a problem. It’s that you don’t have the capacity to use the tools. Health requires resources.

Resourcing your body requires an energy framework. It’s a way of living that supports your body, provides the resources, builds capacity, and sustains vitality. And that framework is built on what you already have all around you.

Establishing Your Health Blueprint

Your energy framework is the basis for building a new foundation, and that foundation determines whether what you build works and lasts. But you know this, especially if you’re one who has tried all of the things, only to end up in the exact same place you always find yourself.

I’m telling you it doesn’t have to be that way. But you do have to bulldoze your existing foundation and create the plans for a new one.

This process is what changed me, and it’s also the process I’m walking you through (and helping you live out) in my upcoming class: Building Your Health Blueprint, Establishing Healthy Foundations.

It focuses on the basics of energy. How to build it, protect it, and use it to create real capacity so your life doesn’t keep taking you out.

It’s not about chasing outcomes, but building a structure that makes the outcomes inevitable.

It’s everything I used to help me move from chasing health to losing health to quitting health, and now living it.

With that said, my health update is simple: I am healthier than I’ve ever been. I’m no longer living out the old story, or fearing my enviornment because I know my body has what it needs to live regardless of my enviornment. And if I don’t have it, I know how to build it!

It’s the little things that aren’t so little, like seeing the cold I currently have not as an illness but as an upgrade, and recognizing that the upgrade needs more energy.

If you’re ready for a health upgrade, join the waitlist. I’m sending out the details tomorrow!

In the meantime, I have a thought for you to consider….

Take a moment to consider what might be different if you stopped viewing your health “problems” through the lens of hormones, mold, parasites, viruses, sickness, even inflammation, and started to see them as a by-product of a low-energy state.

Do you think this would change your approach?

I’d love to know how you’re processing that! Leave a comment below!
