I’ve spent over a decade working with women, children and families in clinic, and one thing I keep coming back to is the need to zoom out.
What else is going on here?
What is this person eating? How are they sleeping? What are they exposed to? What is their nervous system carrying? What does their environment look like? What patterns have become so normal that we’ve stopped questioning them?
This is why my approach in clinic has always been about the whole person — not simply the symptom or diagnosis.
I deeply love herbal medicine. Medication can have its place too. But I’m becoming increasingly uncomfortable with throwing anything at a whole life of patterning without asking the bigger questions.
Sometimes it’s not just “What can I take?”
Sometimes it’s “What needs to change?”
I’d love to know where this one lands for you.
Big Love,
