You know you’re right,

something IS wrong…

 

Maybe your doctor did labs and said everything was “within normal ranges.”  Maybe your doctor started writing referrals to a bunch of different specialist–many of which were dead ends and you could tell no one was treating the root cause.  Maybe you’ve tried a lot of different therapies, diets, medication and approaches, but none of them really got you where you needed to be.  Maybe you’re just tiered of knowing in the back of your head, something isn’t right and you want to feel better.  

In Ayurveda, health is defined as:

One who is established in Self, who has balanced dosas (primary life force), balanced agni (fire of digestion), properly formed dhatus (tissues), proper elimination of malas (waste products), well-functioning bodily processes, and whose mind, soul and senses are full of bliss is called a healthy person.

Sushruti Samhita 15/48

 

Let me say it a lil' louder for those in the back!

 

To be healthy according to Ayurveda, we have to be established in ourselves and have bliss in our body & senses down to the cellular level! Ayurveda doesn’t give an “eff” about "within normal ranges" (excuse my french but we all adults here).  The ability of modern science to detect the nuances in an individual complex organism (YOU) is different from statistical averages of a very unhealthy population (often your doctors baseline).

This Ayurvedic definition of health frames the kind of health we are after in this group.  So leave images of spunky white women in crop tops and yoga pants telling you about their favorite dairy-free, gluten free smoothie at the door.  This aint that.  

 

Does this sound like you?

 

This group is for women who have what is emerging in modern medicine to be called metabolic syndrome or a collection of symptoms that include any combination of the following:

  • Belly fat.  Weight that's resistant to coming off, especially around the midsection. šŸ‘€
  • Chronic Fatigue, your tiered AF all the time. šŸ‘€  
  • Gut imbalance (leaky gut, IBS, bloating, headaches, joint pain) šŸ‘€
  • Anxiety šŸ‘€
  • Brain fog šŸ‘€
  • Frayed nerves (loud noises bother you, or you get up at night to pee) šŸ‘€
  • Sleep issues (insomnia, waking up in the night) šŸ‘€
  • Hormonal acne (chin, neck, or around the time of the moon cycle) šŸ‘€
  • Irregular or missing menstrual cycles šŸ‘€
  • Low "good" cholesterol HDL & high "bad" cholesterol LDL šŸ‘€
  • High blood pressure šŸ‘€
  • Insulin resistance šŸ‘€
  • Pre diabetes šŸ‘€
  • Low libido šŸ‘€

But the real criteria for being in this group is you're ready to take action.  

I’ll show you how to using ayurveda, functional nutrition, herbs & lifestyle medicine.  Even if you’re not sure what all of that is, I’ll walk you through step-by-step how to get into a body that feels good to be in.  We will do it together.

 

What this looked like on me...

 

Y'all know, very often, I'm doing the most.  I switch it up, but I’m consistent about doing the most.  For a while that was my organizing work with grassroots women and land activism.  Then it was cooking in New York.  Then travel.  Now mamahood.  So given sometime I find myself facing the continual fact that I be doing the most.  

That shows up in my body as metabolic disorders (hello genetic legacy of the slave trade meets modern living meets my Capricorn/Sagittarius inclinations).  

When I was in Mcleod Ganj (Himalays), India, the Ayurvedic Doctor Arun Sharma who was overseeing my panchakarama (major detox) saw me daily for three months.  This allowed him to notice changes in my body, speech, thinking that were in fact crucial information about the state of my body.  


If you’ve ever tried your own healing work—you know its not linear.  Metabolic disorders are difficult because we pendulum swing between states (vata/kapha).  This makes it hard (really effing hard) to see ourselves and our healing clearly.  There were many times I found myself rambling to Dr. Sharma, telling him that I was all of a sudden obsessing over cured meat dishes that I saw on IG or that my dreams were getting weird.  These turned out to be cues to stop and start treatments.  Then there was the medicine of being witnessed & tended to.  

This experience is the blueprint for The Metabolic Medicine Women Collective.  Consider it a container with consistent care, a guide & a community.

 

 

So what is The Metabolic Medicine Women Collective?

If you want to make changes, change your environment and the habits will follow. 

The Metabolic Medicine Women Collective will be a container & catalyst for the changes we make.  Meeting twice weekly allows you to be seen, make adjustments when needed so you don’t waste time wondering if it’s time to be seen again.  We take the guess work out of navigating your symptoms.  We learn how to detox, nourish, and support the body to heal itself using plants, rituals & reverence.  And we do it in community because having folks witness our initiation into a new incarnation of ourself is essential & a healing component most people are missing. 

 

3 months.  90 days.   Consider it a season of transformation.  And instead of invoking discipline, let’s call this an act of devotion to your body and to the bigger purpose that your body is here to help you carry out here on earth.  

You're after results... 

Haliema

I was my biggest weight, was starting to have knee pain and was working a very stressful and demanding job. I wanted to create space and focus on my health from a place of love, not insecurities. I was at 193 lbs I am down to 170, which is my goal weight. I gained reliable tools and knowledge that created a lifestyle change. I developed an understanding of my body and strengthen my communication with myself on all levels, which helps me continue to grow towards deeper goals.I interviewed three people and felt the most understood by you. It was really important for me to create change healthily. When it comes to physical health, sometimes this journey can create worse insecurities than when we started. I wanted to focus on myself as a whole picture. Not just on how my body looked. You also taught me to harness my energy and create the discipline I needed!
