I'm reviewing my favorite recommendations to 4 common conditions that you can treat, improve, or support your healing with modalities other than medications.
These recommendations can be applied to common conditions that my patients often request prescriptions for.

InsomniaWe will all have insomnia at some point in our lives. Going beyond prescriptions, it's important to try:

  • A Good Bedtime routine
  • Working With Your Mind
    • Meditation
    • Reiki
    • Journaling
  • Healthy Movement During the Day
  • Aromatherapy
    • Lavender
    • Spearmint
  • Yoga
    • Legs up the wall

AnxietyAnxiety can be improved no matter how severe by taking some steps on your own. Even if you're on medications, consider trying the following:

  • Meditation: Focusing on breath work
  • Exercise: Purposely using the Sympathetic Nervous System (Read about the Autonomic Nervous System here).
  • Therapy: Learn more about how therapy helps on Dr. Smith's Show here. as well as Brandi Gibson's episode here.

Chronic PainGet the right diagnosis is the key, so you may have to advocate for your care.

  • Learn to meditate
    • Be patient with your experience, its okay if you aren’t able to sit
    • Try laying down, standing, be creative
  • Food: You diet should reduce refines sugars and be Anti-Inflammatory; Here is a free Anti-Inflammatory resource here.

High Blood Pressure

  • You have to work with your doctors and pharmacist
  • Exercise-walking, yoga, at least 150minues/week
