gratitude by caring more about getting well than being validated
19:11 – Practical ways to positively affect hormonal balance

26:00 – Mary speaks on the ketogenic diet and being in
ketosis along with the myriad of other spokes in the wheel that aid recovery.

ultimately has positive result.

exercise; honoring where your body is currently at and being consistent with incremental steps
46:40 – understanding that recovery isn’t swift, but is a
humbling experience.

focus on dysautonomia and teaching other practitioners to spread the knowledge
and reach more

that hold live calls 4 days a week and over 900 videos for self-paced learning.
52:22 – So many ways to summit the mountain and climb
towards remission
