For years, I believed yoga would save me. And for a while — it did. Until it didn’t.

What followed was a radical redefinition of what healing really is. You’ll hear how Functional Yoga Medicine™ was born — not as another method, but as a reclamation. And how most people are practicing yoga with a nervous system still stuck in survival… which...

Human OS™: Mind Your Health, Rewired

In this unapologetically honest episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on our so-called “healthcare” system—and why it’s failing so many of us. I share my personal experience of waiting hours for a 5-minute doctor visit, navigating systemic red tape, and facing medical negligence, dismissal, and even emotional harm from practitioners who were supposed to help. 🌿 This system wasn’t built for wellness—it was built for crisis. For code-based billing. For symptom suppression. And if you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsafe in a doctor’s office, you’re not imagining it. But...

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the toxic relationship I once had with my own body—masked as “health.” What looked like discipline and dedication was actually self-rejection, shaped by cultural expectations, internalized shame, and a fixation on being thin over being well. 🌿 I share how chasing perfection and attaching my worth to a number on the scale led to physical imbalance, emotional depletion, and a complete disconnect from my body. But now, in my 50s, I see clearly: true health has nothing to do with aesthetics—and everything to do with how we treat ourselves...
