Description

Pills, surgeries, injections, and more, this is what we believe medicine is. Many of us grew up thinking that the only path to health was running to a doctor for help. Today, you’ll be amazed to learn that medicine is much more than hospital treatments or daily spoken affirmations. All that you need to find health, wellness, and healing is already at your fingertips. You just have to drop into it.

Joining us to share her story and what she learned as both a patient and doctor is Dr. Cassie Huckaby, the Founder of Grit Natural Medicine. She helps us understand what medicine is and how we can use it in our lives to heal and change for a better us. You’ll learn how powerful you are when you tap into the truth within your mind, body, and soul to recover from impossible illnesses and achieve optimal health.

Tune in to this wonderful story of overcoming sickness and finding health through naturopathic medicine. Discover the medicine that will make your mind, body, and soul feel good.

Now Is the Time to Look For the Truth
“We’re being forced into admitting that we are uncertain, that we don’t know certain things. And with that, we don’t have the confidence within our capacity and ability to take the next step forward for us.”

That is what Dr. Cassie Huckaby says about today. The COVID-19 pandemic is a time of chaos and uncertainty. However, it’s just this moment that people become tired of the lies and limitations and are now calling for the truth.

Now, we’re looking to shake things up. People are uncomfortable and a lot of us are unwell, even if we present a healthy facade. We have to look at every part of our lives and look internally — look at what’s true. However, not everyone has the capacity to respond well and buffer the chaos we’re experiencing.

We’re realizing that we are the biggest obstacle in our own way. Everything has internal roots. However, at the same time, we are also our greatest power. This time of uncertainty is a massive opportunity to open ourselves up to this power.

The Meaning of Medicine
If you’re someone who has tried everything for health but nothing sticks, maybe, as Dr Huckaby said, “You have to change to change.” 

The things you are doing for your health such as taking supplements, having surgeries, and more are not medicine. These are just tools. But if these things that happen in hospitals aren’t medicine, what is?

Dr Huckaby answers this question. “[Medicine] is what you think, breathe, do, feel every single second of every single day. You are dosing yourself all day long. That is medicine… Your mind is medicine, your life is medicine, your being is medicine, your whole experience is medicine.” If your health is not where you want it to be despite all the tools you’ve used and things you’ve tried, look instead at what you’re doing and thinking because that is medicine.

Loree boils down Dr. Huckaby’s explanation of medicine into three key elements:

Believe in Nothing, Open Yourself to Everything
One of the first things Dr Huckaby does with a patient when they go to her is comb through their neurological programming. We all have these belief systems hardwired into our subconscious that will sabotage us no matter how much we want and try to achieve something. Uprooting and washing out that programming is central to taking control of your health. 

Be aware that what creates health and what creates disease isn’t always on the physical plane. There can be more at play and we need to be aware of that. Supplements can’t help with things that have metaphysical roots but  many people don’t believe this. She shares that, “what most people are doing is all of this capacity within the human psyche, within the human body, within existence is being used against them every single second of every single day.”
 
Dr. Huckaby encourages us to move forward without our beliefs. Wash out, put everything on the table, and open yourself to everything that’s up for grabs.

Dr. Huckaby’s Going Rogue Story: The Doors That Open at Rock Bottom
In the past, Dr Huckaby also had her own beliefs. She thought she knew everything. However, after a series of vaccinations in college, her health started declining and Dr. Huckaby was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions. At that point, she was studying to go to medical school and she turned to the medical industry to find out what they could do for her. However, her choice was to undergo treatment that destroyed her body or just go home and accept that there was nothing that could be done.

This was when Dr Huckaby’s world changed for the worse. At this point, she felt defeated. She tells us, “When you have no options, you have to be available if there’s any hope in you.” “I was wide open because I had no options.” When she realized the industry she had worked hard to be a part of could do nothing for her, she was at her lowest point. However, this was also the time when she heard about a voodoo doctor and she was open enough to accept it.

Human society doesn’t value natural medicine, instead preferring conventional, allopathic medicine. Despite her own misgivings, Dr Huckaby went to the voodoo clinic to shadow. There, she found a different world in the hospital setting. The voodoo doctors spent hours with each patient, getting to know how they feel, finding out their experiences in life, and more about them. It was an all-new experience that changed how Dr Huckaby viewed medicine and health.
