Your health gold mine is right here.

Just stop rushing and you will see it.

Sitting at my desk last week with my delicious apple cider vinegar glycine tea and my red light therapy device doing some work, I saw a message popping up on my WhatsApp.

All my clients have ongoing WhatsApp support so I thought it was just another routine question or comment.

To my surprise, I got the most beautiful and magical message from Sara, one of my dear clients. It all just came together:

I was SO TOUCHED that I started to cry. This was a very precious moment, indeed. We had been working on a few crucial health domino pieces and now, the path engaged.

Sara has been courageously showing up again and again, week after week and experimenting with the hand picked pieces of health to see what works and doesn’t work for her.

Adding something new → listening to her body —> being so patient and giving her body space, lots and lots of space to adapt and improve - ALL THE WHILE keeping the foundations rock solid.

She has been working on finding her own ‘Sara’ rhythm beautifully and making her own ‘Sara’ Life Manual….this is transforming her health.

This has not been an easy journey.

It has been a road full of many ups and downs and some periods of mostly downs.

Sara has been through so much and yet, she showed up for the crucial solid foundations with courage and a relentless vision.

Inevitably, things started to vibrate and click together internally - mainly that Sara is trusting herself now.

[Sara, I am so proud of you!]

It takes time for things to come together.

And they can only come together when you trust yourself to listen to what your body is trying to tell you.

Everyone claims they know this and they practice this, but overall, I don’t find it to be true.

There is a certain rush to not die early. A certain rush to get all your health ducks in a row and all your tests looking perfect before the shoe drops.

You can tell this is true by fear. It’s palpable. You can feel it in people’s word vibrations and questions.

You can also tell this is true by how hard on themselves people are when they can’t get their daily perfect health routines just right:

“I will be humble and blame myself for not getting this protocol right, this protocol that was given to me by some longevity guru who has no clue who I am, what my body needs, and what my day to day life is like.”

This MAD DASH to healthspan and longevity is making us biologically much older, much faster.

You don’t get healthier by rushing toward a healthy future.

You get healthier by slowing down NOW and giving your body and mind space to breathe. This space to breathe is going to affect everything, including test results.

I love Marcus Aurelius quote from Meditations which exemplifies this point perfectly:

“For a man cannot lose either the past or the future: for what a man has not, how can any one take this from him?

For the present is the only thing of which a man can be deprived, if it is true that this is the only thing which he has, and that a man cannot lose a thing if he has it not.”

All this evidence-based research that must be followed.

All the warnings about the four horsemen who are for sure going to kill you one day.

This is creating ‘dying early’ not ‘living longer.’

You don’t get on a clear and quick road to healthspan and longevity by listening to thousands of podcasts and then following those recommendations blindly.

You get on that road by slowing down NOW, TRUSTING YOURSELF, listening to what YOUR BODY has to say, and giving it what it needs to thrive.

You’re sitting on a gold mine but refuse to see it.

Your body has all the answers you are looking for.
