Doctors trained in Western medicine do a stellar job addressing acute conditions. Take COVID-19 for example. They are on the front lines of what's happening to humanity currently, risking their lives to save ours. So, when it comes to acute care, hands down, we have some of the best care money can buy.
When it comes to chronic-care, however, those who have been dealt the unfortunate hand of hormonal, thyroid and autoimmune conditions know all too well - medical care falls short of a miracle.
It took me FIVE years to get a diagnosis. Five long years of being told that it's all in my head, that I need to exercise more, eat less and...just live with it.
For some of my clients, it takes as long or longer. However, even once diagnosed, things do not often get better. And, frequently, things get worse. Medicines, prescribed to deal with such conditions, come with a long list of possible side-effects. For example, Levothyroxine, prescribed to those with hypothyroid conditions, lists over 67 possible side effects!
Supplements are not much better. Many have multiple side effects possibilities, and most are powerless to address the root cause of the problem.
And surgeries, which should be the last resort, used only to save a life, since many lead to extraction of one or more organs, leave women feeling maimed and hopeless.
To make things even more hopeless, because the Western system focuses on sickness management, most of us hear that what we have is not fixable, not curable, and certainly, not healable. And that we will suffer for the rest of our lives.
So, while well-meaning, inadvertently, our doctors often set us up for a lifetime of misery and hopelessness.
But...it does not have to be this way!
On today's podcast, we discuss how we can stop our doctors from destroying our health. We also share a few things you can do to take charge of your health condition and achieve your desired health goals.
