ANECDOTE

From Extreme Hacks To Nuanced Care

  • Ryan tried many extreme protocols early: coffee enemas, colonics, mercury detox and hyperbaric oxygen training.
  • Those hacks failed and forced him to adopt a more nuanced, sustainable approach.
ADVICE

Prioritize Capacity And Easy Wins

  • Start interventions by understanding a client's why, routine, and capacity before prescribing many changes.
  • Prioritize easy wins (light, sleep, water, minerals) and layer additional steps slowly.
