How I rebuilt my health by doing less

- In this video I discuss the shift I had to make with my identity and my relationship with my physical body on the road to regaining my health. In 2020 I came down with a mystery illness that completely tanked my physical and mental health. Through much trial and tribulation (and not much help from western medicine) I finally figured out that black mold in my condo was wreaking havoc on my entire system.
In this video I talk about starting at square one with movement again. From a history of 6 day a week strength workouts, my body had become so tight and full of toxicity that I stopped training altogether and just started to walk.
Walking became a huge part of my healing journey as it allowed my body to slowly begin to soften so I could get my life force flowing through my body again and the toxicity flowing out.
Anyone with mold, lyme, autoimmune issues, even stored trauma should assess if their body is capable of softening down or if it's in a chronically threatened state.
Wow, that really resonated with me... I have an autoimmune liver disease myself and have had to learn to cope with it for 8 years now, along with all the fears that come with it.
My story is similar to yours: always been very thin, anxiety and stress from my parents fighting (my father’s alcohol problems), and then at 17, I also started working out to create a "tough" version of myself. Both my parents passed away shortly after one another, and I developed stomach issues, back pain, and so on, until it became clear that I had a life-threatening illness.
Letting go and even feeling what's really going on inside is very difficult when you've created this tough version of yourself... I'm curious to hear more of your story, and I wish you lots of success and hope you regain your health!
Im glad I found you somehow my friend. Truly sorry to learn about losing your parents and what you described about your upbringing sounds very similar to my past!
Your well wishes are medicine and I’m sending the same to you. We’re getting there 🤲🏻🤝💛
Hi! Thank you for sharing your story. I found this channel from your mold video. I’m recovering from mold exposure and it feels like nobody understands what I’m going through
Adriana! It is likely that not many around you do, which is exhausting because you either have to find a way to explain it to them OR you have to just fake that you’re doing ok. It sucks.
I’m glad you’re here and I’m available if you have questions about my experience dealing with certain aspects. My email is nate@gettingthere.com
@@GettingThere thanks 🙏
Keep it up man, great content.
Thank you Eric! Really appreciate this 🤝
A lot of this resonated with me. But one I think that stuck out (and I’m not sure you intentionally meant for it to) was how you adapt now when things are not going to plan. I would argue that takes more strength than anything. Letting go of what you thought you were going to do on a whim, that’s tough. It’s an ego disruptor I imagine since you think you have control of what you do in life but you realize you don’t and just flow with it. Great story man keep it up!
That’s been a massive lesson the lest 4 years for me Garron. One of the kind you sort of have to re-learn every time a setback comes up.
It comes back to intention. If I workout with the intention to improve my functionality and I encounter an issue like I mentioned in the video where my issues come up and my core can’t turn on, then continuing the workout as planned takes me further from functionality and more into dysfunction.. so I have to course correct. Long winded comment sorry!
Really appreciate you watching these with such intent!
@@GettingThere I like the explanation; it totally makes sense! Stellar explanation in my opinion! ‘ … takes me further from functionality and more into dysfunction.’ Wise words!
