This has been an Awesome year! The Podcast debuted, I finished my PhD, cranked out a book as well as most of the sequel, and most importantly to me saw some impressive results with my patients.
The Podcast Walking Naturopathy Lane was viewed most in the US and the episode viewed the most was the first episode The Principles that Guide Naturopathy Lane. I will wrap the year with the season 1 finale right after Christmas with a 30-minute episode on ways to recover from the weight gain of the holidays. These can be seen on both YouTube.com and Spotify.com
My PhD in Natural Medicine was a challenge over the last 15 months, but the insights into Metabolic Syndrome and how to correct it were fantastic. I think the things I learned the hardest are you just have to do it; You don’t have to like it. I will give you an example. I haven’t done pushups or sit-ups (old school military calisthenics) in years. I kept intending to start, finally this morning I just hit the ground and knocked out 10 of each. I didn’t enjoy them now, but they will pay dividends later. Procrastination is a killer! So, is not listening to our body!
My book Metabolic Storm Unraveling Modern Chronic Illness while not a New York Times bestseller, the book has influenced some lives for the better already, and we are only 2 months after publication. If you want a signed copy, let me know via messenger and I will get one for you. I have also started Metabolic Storm Cleaning Up After the Storm. It will be available again on Amazon on January 1st. I am editing the 2nd rough draft right now, as well as writing my own EHR software.
I also added super billing to my practice. When I create a super bill, you can turn that into your insurance company for possible reimbursement (does not apply to Medicare, Medicade, or the VA). I think my biggest accomplishment this year though is the positive impact I have seen with my patients, whether dropping 25 pounds and coming off of insulin or just improving to 8 hours of sleep from 2 or watching depression and brain fog symptoms decrease. That makes the effort and gargantuan projects all worthwhile as long as I can see the fruits of my labor in my patients! So, Enjoy the Holidays; be safe and health! Merry Christmas, and I will talk to you all In January!
