A clinician describes her intake process: she observes the tongue, eyes, and fingernails, holds the patient's hand, then listens closely to tone and narrative. She says true healing requires integrating physical, biochemical, mental, emotional, and energetic dimensions, not just lab values.
there are emotional things, there are trauma responses, memories, all of that. And so having a clinician who can help you parse that out and figure out like, what is a vitamin deficiency versus what is me just spiraling in my, you know, lies that I'm believing, right? And so I would love for you to kind of walk us through. Where do you even start with women when they come into your practice?
So whether I see them in person or remotely, the very first thing that they do is I actually look at their tongue, I look at their eyes, I look at their fingernails, I look at their face. Um, if we're in person, I'll hold their hand. So I'm really trying to see what physical observations is the body trying to give us that says, hey, I'm deficient inside, or this is going on. And I try to get to the root of what their body's trying to share. And then I ask them so many questions because there's so much information in how people are speaking about their life, the tone of their voice, the cadence of their voice. And so there's a lot that's happening in, in my session when I meet with someone to figure out, okay, what— how can we restore your foundations of health? Because what I've found is if we don't look at the physical, the mental, the emotional, the energetics, and the physical part of people, we don't truly get to healing. And so I think all of those elements are really important versus just the physical biochemical aspect. We have to include the rest of it.
