It’s really hard to be happy about life when you have a headache all the time. Happiness is linked to the level of contentment with your current situation. BUT I’ve found something better...I’ve found true joy that rises above circumstances✨ I’ve been learning to “consider it pure joy when I face trials of many kinds, because I know that the testing of my faith produces perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character strengthens hope” And this has proven itself true too many times to count. BUT I’m not going to lie...my faith has been tested this last week as progress has seemed way too slow, and I’ve awoken every day with a crushing headache. BUT I came here knowing God was going to heal me in his perfect way and perfect timing, and he has lovingly reminded me of that each and every day as the team here at @bioresetmedical has poured their healing care into me, making my comfort a priority even if it means rearranging the treatment plan for the day🥰 And then Tuesday afternoon something magical happened. Dr. Cook used 3-D ultrasound to examine my nerves, then did 6 injections into my jaw, neck and shoulders where I had impingements. He’s one of only 2 doctors in the U.S. who use this “hydro-dissection” technique. Afterwards it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me, and today...get this...I barely have a headache🙌🎉 Talk about happiness! And the anti-inflammatory and healing properties of the exozomes means that I am going to keep getting even better over the next few weeks. Today I’m getting more injections in my low back, as it’s still being a little stubborn, and I am just going to keep getting better and better👊Immensely grateful does not even begin to describe how I feel towards this doctor’s wisdom and skill, this team’s compassionate care, my parents generous support, and all my friends love and prayer❤️❤️ #regenerativemedicine #health #wellness #gettinghealthy #spinehealth #spine #faith #joy #headacherelief #iinhealthcoach #doctor #grateful #mostlyhealthychef

Starting on day #4 @bioresetmedical and before I update on how I’m doing I just need to say how amazing the entire team here is!! They’re excited and passionate about the work they’re doing and go out of their way to make me feel completely cared for and pampered every step of the way. Dr. Cook is the most compassionate and generous doctor I have ever worked with, and he is seriously changing peoples lives. I could barely walk when I arrived, the pain in my back was so severe. After an epidural and facet injections with exozomes I could walk like a normal person again! I still have a lot of pain, and the release of my back muscles caused my neck to flare up even worse, but I am celebrating one small victory at a time👊. So far today I’ve had a hivamat treatment, gone into a hybaric oxygen tank and am about to get IV exozomes and ozone. Later I will have injections into the nerves of my neck, and then I will handstand my way out of here🙌 So beyond thankful for this team, that God’s given me the opportunity to be here, and for the prayers and support of all of you!!❤️ #health #wellness #backpain #chronicpain #grateful #gettinghealthy #spinehealth #regenerativemedicine #stemcells #medicine #topdoctors #sanjose #california #healthcoach #iinhealthcoach #iin #biohacking #biohacker #selfcare #healing #love #amosthealthyyou #mostlyhealthychef

I HAVE EXCITING NEWS!!! I leave tomorrow to spend 2 weeks at @bioresetmedical in California getting treatments from the most cutting edge regenerative medicine doctor out there. I’ve lived in chronic pain for the past 15 years as a result of a fall when I was 18. I’ve had 3 spine surgeries to remove my tailbone, then the base of my sacrum, and to repair a herniated disc, and all of that has left me with major disc degeneration up my entire spine, 6 herniated discs, nerve impingements, constant headaches, and pelvic floor prolapse. BUT I am telling you all of this because I want you to get really excited for the ways that God is going to use this doctor to heal me. I have been scared for so long to take the steps needed to get better...scared that I’d be let down by yet another doctor, scared of taking time away from work and having my clients abandon me, and frankly scared of not having this pain be an excuse for not living out every amazing plan God has for me. But it’s time to start living again and not just existing...God had plans to prosper me and not to harm me, to give me a hope and a future, and that future is going to be better than anything I could imagine in my wildest dreams. Out in California I’m getting a series of nerve blocks, epidurals, injections, IVs, and other procedures that I will share with you as I get them, so follow along and hang on tight. I am so ready for this✨ #regenerativemedicine #chronicpain #spinehealth #iin #iinhealthcoach #iinalumni #bulletproof #biohacking #biohacker @dave.asprey #functionalmedicine #wellness #health #stemcells #medicine #amosthealthyyou #mostlyhealthychef
