Quiz Outcomes

1.
You're in Phase 1 - Mystery Symptoms
Image Source
The first stage of The Healing Journey is inevitable - The Mystery Symptoms. Every person on a healing journey starts by experiencing confusing symptoms, despite considering themselves overall “healthy.” She alternates between “good” and “bad” days...symptoms flare and subside without rhyme or reason. In Phase 1, you probably haven't even worked with a doctor or received a diagnosis. More importantly, you haven’t done the appropriate labs or diagnostic tests to identify the underlying causes of your health challenges. Join me and others on their healing journey as we navigate the experience together in CLUB SENSITIVE.
2.
You're in Phase 2 - Rock Bottom
Image Source
At Rock Bottom - the only way is up! You're in for a great adventure! After experiencing mystery symptoms for months or years, enter stage 2: Rock Bottom. While this might sound like a hopeless place to be, it’s a turning point for most. Without a doubt, every healed person can specifically pinpoint their Rock Bottom. During this 2nd stage, you probably no longer experiences many (or any) “good” days. You're always symptomatic. After multiple doctor’s appointments, “normal” lab results, and repeatedly being told “it’s all in your head,” frustration increases. At rock bottom, quick fixes and magic pills can feel more appealing than understanding the “why.” Even though you're a bit new to the whole world of MindBody Medicine and Holistic Wellness, you're smart enough to know there's more to discover! What you DO know is that you want more for your life and health. Now you just need to find things that work well for your MindBodySoul! The great thing is you're open-minded and curious! Join me and others as we navigate this healing experience together in CLUB SENSITIVE. There's so much magic waiting for you here.
3.
You're in Phase 3 - Root Cause Healing
Image Source
You're well on the way in your Healing Journey! Did you know not everyone reaches Phase 3: Root Cause Healing. Often, conventional medicine fails people with complex and chronic health challenges. If they keep asking “why?” they usually reach Phase 3! For Root Cause Healing, holistic, integrative and functional medicine practitioners usually get involved to look for the root cause of imbalances. With the help of a variety of functional lab tests (stool, saliva, urine), a functional medicine practitioner can identify the Root Causes of health challenges and provide a path to healing. This is often when a person explores healing diets and a food-as-medicine approach for the first time. Here, “good” days reappear here-and-there and a balanced mind-body-spirit starts to emerge. You have explored quite a bit in the World of Wellness and you're smart enough to know there's always more to discover! You've been able to find ways to cultivate your creativity, sensitivity, and intuition, but need a little push to master your Superpowers! Great thing you're passionate and savvy! There's so much more magic waiting for you here. Ready to find the missing pieces to your complete healing - join CLUB SENSITIVE to learn, share and grow with others on their path and resources from Dr. Natasha!
