April Letter from Dr. J

Hi, Intuitiv Wellness Fam!
Recently, I have been thinking about the power of language and how a word that was once unfamiliar, suddenly becomes part of our daily lexicon. Think of words, brands or symbols like gigabyte, 5G, Bluetooth, probiotics, Tesla or Facetime.
Now, think about this powerful word - Asymptomatic.
For years, the preventive model of health care, or the alternative model, or now what is referred to as the integrative model, shouted from rooftops that the absence of symptoms does not equal health. Now more than ever due to what has been in the forefront of many people's minds and awareness for the last 36 months, we now know that "asymptomatic" does not equal perfect health.
Let's use this analogy for a moment: The year is 2017 and a husband and wife are out to dinner. They are not yelling, not hurling scathing insults, and not throwing table salt in each other's eyes at the table. They seem " fine."
However, this does not mean they have the most vibrant, joyful, connected, passionate, dynamic connection. An absence of toxicity, does not mean wellness.
Let's look at a car parked on the side of the road. It's a nice car, a luxury car even. Just because the wheels aren't flattened and there are no bullet holes in the driver's side door, does not mean the car is fine tuned and working to its greatest level of capacity and performance.
The old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is outdated in my mind because there is an inherent stagnant consciousness to this thought process. For years, we have shared that even if a spine is asymptomatic, it does not mean it is in its most radically resilient peak state.
The oncology world now teaches us that when a form of cancer is identified, it was often unrecognized or possibly dormant for years! So why do I share all of this? Now more than ever, we literally almost do not have a choice when it comes to contemplating whether or not we stay pro-active and vigilant with our health. Of course, we do have the choice to not adapt and not do much, but something tells me this line of reasoning will be costlier than ever.
Although it is through pain that we have learned of the power of "asymptomatic" concerns, there is a gift in knowing that we can amplify resiliency even if there does not seem like there is a “detectable challenge.”
Thank you for being the type of people who choose to see that there is always a path to grow, always room for refinement, healing and unfoldment. Your commitment to staying resilient will pay back with abundant interest, and I see that it already has with so many! That is something I know and witness for sure.
