How To Find Your Calling
What are you here on this earth to do?
How will the world be better because you were in it?

How To Tap Into Your Self-Healing Superpowers
As I described in my personal health journey, I was once a doctor suffering from a wide array of health conditions before I finally woke up to the fact that the root causes of my illnesses were more emotional than biochemical, and that the only way I was going to get well was to treat the emotional, psychological, and spiritual sickness that was manifesting as physical symptoms in my body.

The MOST Important Part Of Your Health
I recently had the privilege of giving a speech to a packed house of incredible people at the Hay House I Can Do It IGNITE conference, where I shared the stage with my mentors, teachers, and friends - Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, Cheryl Richardson, Danielle LaPorte, Kris Carr, Kate Northrup, Gabrielle Bernstein, Latham Thomas, Alisa Vitti, and more.

Repressing The Real You Makes You Sick (For Real)
I write a lot about authenticity, being unapologetically YOU, and letting your freak flag fly. In my TEDx talk, I spoke about the importance of tapping into your Inner Pilot Light and living in alignment with what's true for you as a means of both preventative medicine and medical treatment.

How To Be In Your Body - Part 1
For years, people have been accusing me of not being in my body (read about it here). I used to have no idea what that meant. I mean, of course I'm in my body, right? I have a body - and I'm alive. So by every medical and spiritual definition I could imagine, I'm in my body.
