Less than two years ago I made the decision to give my resignation. 

I did not know what my future would hold. If I would ever be able to return to physical therapy, cycling or enjoying the mountains at elevation. 

My hope is that collectively by sharing information and my journey that we can elevate our current sick care system and make changes so that we actually support providing health care. I truly believe lives could change.

The unspoken truth about saddle sores using my experience as a criterium racer, professional bike fitter, working alongside other racers, physical therapist and root cause practitioner…

It sounds a lot like lions and tigers and bears… oh my. The parasympathetic nervous system, vagal tone and polyvagal theory are a complex topic that we will attempt to break down and simplify.

We now understand that our bodies reactions are a direct correlation triggered by our nervous system due to automatic (primitive) processes, past experiences and sensory feedback.

I am learning that there are many other people out there struggling with different health challenges as I walk this journey recovering from the effects of toxic mold. The one thing that we all have in common is the desire to help others, the necessity to self-advocate and the feeling of isolation.

Have you ever wondered why it takes you longer to heal from the common cold, skin to close from a wound, inflammation to subside, nerve pain lingers, joint pain will not go away?

You need someone who will listen to the clues your body is leaving, look for patterns and have the knowledge and tools to help correct the dysfunction.

“So what if we didn’t slap bandaids and started paying attention to clues the body was leaving to determine the root cause?”
