In this podcast, health coach and yoga teacher Cate Stillman interviews me after she discovered my work during a search for help with scar tissue protocols and adhesions. So a lot of the podcast is us discussing my protocols for reducing or dissolving scar tissue, and why surgery is not usually the solution. But we also get into my personal journey, elemental diets, and how symptoms are actually messages from our subconscious, or higher self.

The Gifts of Chronic Illness

Ready to see RESULTS in your healing journey? Dane Johnson and I have a lively discussion on the deeper healing of Crohn's, IBS, SIBO, diverticulitis, colitis - or ANY long-term chronic illness! Dane calls me the Top G of IBD , which leads us to a funny little detour into Andrew Tate.* Then we do a real deep-dive into the mental, emotional, and spiritual components of dis-ease, and how to go to the next level in your healing journey. You can either watch the video, or listen to this as an audio below, or on your favorite podcast platform . "When you're dealing with a chronic illness, you are in the unique position of having the opportunity to transform and alchemize the experience into something much greater, with tremendous benefits to you." - Jini Patel Thompson Dane himself was very resistant to go into this aspect of healing; he talks about where he came from and what it took for him to finally be willing to walk this path that is absolutely crucial for long-term, complete healing. I hope you enjoy this conversation on the gifts of chronic illness as much as we did! And please feel free to share your story and any milestones in your healing journey below... *p.s. When I say that I see the role Andrew Tate is playing for young men and how it has value, I'm referring to his more recent persona as someone who encourages hard work, discipline, business education, physical fitness, and taking care of the body. I'm certainly not referring to his early macho persona of using and manipulating women.
