11 TRUTHS About Healing While on Your Healing Journey

Faith and Encouragement· Stress Management

heart-hands

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement as we heal. You may be well within your healing journey, you may be struggling for answers about your health or  you may be feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I want you to know truths about how our bodies heal. I want these truths to be useful to you as you continue on with healing. It can be hard, sometimes downright discouraging when you’re sick. With this post I want you to know TRUTHS of healing. Please share these with others you know who are sick and looking for encouragement themselves.

1. Our bodies were meant for LIFE, FREEDOM and ABUNDANCE in our health.

We were not meant to be sick and struggling. God can and will use your sickness to tell a story and to bring invaluable lessons in your life. I know that for my own sickness, it lead me to purpose. It lead me into being a healer. But I do believe that we weren’t meant to be sick, I am now living in Life! And life abundantly!

2. Our bodies are designed by a loving God and are extremely intricate and powerful.

The more we can learn about our bodies the more we know how to build health into them. Remind yourself daily that our bodies were created magnificently!

3. In order to get well, you need to commit to healing in your life and make it a priority to get better.

Study our bodies and how they heal, learn about them, apply what you’ve learned and DO what you’ve learned. Often times we need help when we are struggling with our health we need to bring in a practitioner or a health coach. If you need coaching, need direction or need a plan, please contact me. I have a Health Coaching page and you can schedule a time to discuss with me.

4. We can’t treat the symptoms of our bodies, we need to find the cause!

Our bodies can express many symptoms. And we can follow those symptoms around and around. Let’s find a cause. If you can find the cause then you can fix the symptoms and get your life back! 

5. Don’t own any diagnosis!

Our medical system is all about a diagnosis. You are expressing symptoms or a group of symptoms. They may look like a disease or a condition, but they are only symptoms. Your brain needs to believe you are healing. Our brains can not claim, believe or own a diagnosis. What we think our heart, brain and even down to how our neurons fire believe that. There is no hope in a diagnosis. We want healing, therefore we choose hope.

6. What we eat and what we put in our bodies affect the genetic expression of our cells.

If you feed your body healthy foods (The Cellular Healing Diet) and use good quality supplements to nourish your body, you will express health within the DNA/ RNA of your cells. If you choose to eat unhealthy and processed foods and put chemicals in your body, you are expressing those chemicals. It may be in the form of symptoms or toxins. We really are what we eat. Choose wisely and choose healthy!

7. Be the 3% who choose healing!

They say that 3% of people will truly commit to healing their bodies. The other 97% are dabblers. Choose to be the 3%. Seek truth and seek an alternative way of healing. Don’t just believe what the medical system is telling you or has told you in the past.

8. Our bodies express the right symptom at the right time for the condition your body is in right now.

Does that make sense? This is a very important one to understand. Our bodies are magnificently created. They choose to express a symptom at the right time, in the right place because of what is going on internally in the body. Your body is trying to tell you something. Once you change the internal conditions, you will change the symptoms expressed. Our bodies don’t make mistakes!

9. If you get your cells well, you will get your health back

This healing is a cellular issue. The health of our cells, all 10 trillion of them, determine how we feel and how we express health. Reducing cellular inflammation is key in healing the cells. The three things that cause cellular inflammation are bad fats, sugars and toxins. Removing those sources heal the cell membranes and allow our hormones to work like they were designed to!

10. Healing our bodies is a true journey.

I have learned this in my own healing. I call it a healing journey. Because it is a path that has ups and downs, highs and lows, and many lessons and nuggets of truth throughout the way. There are so many things I have learned because of not feeling well that I know I wouldn’t have learned in any different way. But now I am on the other side of it. I am still healing, but rising above it. The journey will still have a few bumps but the choice I have made is to follow the narrow road. I know it leads to health. It’s God’s road for me. 

11. God along brings healing. In HIS timing and in HIS way. Go to Him often and ask for healing.

O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.  Psalm 30:2

I want you to know that I pray for the healing journey of each and every person who reads this blog. That’s YOU! I also pray for your learning and for your heart to change towards a lifestyle of building health.

Thanks for reading… and ENJOY!

Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the l Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the little victories (that are actually really big) and trusting God in the process!!
Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsessi Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsession or orthorexia? Somehow you are now stressed about EVERYTHING being a toxin and brain is swirling with that all day, every day?. 

Does that sound like you? Or maybe just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

I just don't think that's the Lord's plan for our lives and thought lives. I think there is another way to do health differently than our country and yet not become fearful and all-consumed with it all. We can be aware, make wise decisions, and let the rest be in the Lord's hands.

Most of you know I've taken 7 months off of posting regular content on my Instagram page. I only intended to stop posting for 2-4 weeks. But I realized I was stuck in this mental loop of always thinking about my health and my symptoms and then I was in a business where I only posted about health. That needed to stop. And when I slowed that loop I realized hey, I don't even want to post, so I didn't. 

Are you living in that balance now? Or teetering in the imbalance? If you are feeling imbalanced, the first thing is to NOT beat yourself up about it. If you have had chronic symptoms, I think it is our body's protective mechanism to put us in this loop. But the lie is that we aren't safe with symptoms... but we are safe if things medically check out fine. 

To get out of that mind loop, I would encourage you to take these thoughts captive. When they come in, give them to the Lord, and choose to think about something true and lovely and beautiful. Do this as often as you need which will probably be numerous times per day! 

It sounds easy but it isn't. Simple, yes. Easy, no. Put your faith in Christ and trust that he can renew your mind back to a healthy balance of holistic health. And if you suffer from symptoms... I do believe this is foundational for symptom resolution too.
I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I w I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I wasn’t, but I have been my whole life. 

So when the sun peaked through the days of dreary cloud cover I bundled up and bolted outside for a walk. It was 35 degrees and felt so nice. 

The 1 mile walk and the sun on my face was what I needed. I miss my nice weather walks. Only 4.5 more months of the cold here 🤣

Ps. Yes, I know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. But really, I get cold easily and don’t like it. So it’s bad weather to me 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting dow I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting down was going to be the catalyst for me stepping back from social media.

It was. And it was one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. 

Why? I didn’t realize I was addicted to it. To checking. To learning. To creating content. It all. The business part and the learning about health. (Ouch that hurts a bit admitting it). 

It was all tied into nervous system dysfunction for me. Just feeding the circle of vigilance. And that wasn’t good for me body, mind, spirit. 

And it was SO hard to step away from this account. It took me about 6 weeks to stop picking up my phone to take a B roll video. Or to think “hey, I want to share with IG”. 

I really do miss you all… that’s what I miss the most. Interacting with you all! 

But my brain needed the time away. And honestly I’m still away. I just have felt like sharing a few things lately because of the November holiday sales. 

You know what I feared if I stepped away? I was scared I’d miss something shared about health that was what I needed. That I would miss some kind of magic bullet or clinical pearl and I wouldn’t heal without it. 

Guess what? That wasn’t true. 

I actually could think and focus on my health in a different way. I could surrender to God in a different way. I wasn’t cluttered with all sorts of thoughts on here. I’ve made some really good decisions about my health and healing with deep confidence. 

And I didn’t peace out of IG fully. I check mostly non-health related content on a private account. (Hello politics, I need some IG fill for that 😂). 

But I did take ALL of August off of IG and broke my dependence and need for it. It was SO good. I thought I’d kiss out so much. I didn’t miss anything. I found all the news and learning I needed from podcasts. And I bought less because I have no idea what’s trendy 🤷🏻‍♀️

I still like social media and Instagram. But I do think many of us need much better boundaries. It sucks you in… it’s supposed to! 

I share because I want to invite you to do something similar if you feel the pull in your spirit. 

Step back, you’re not going to miss anything. 
And think of what you may gain?!?
Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of H Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of Health and Human Services. And I am so excited. 

It's been a full week watching Trump make his cabinet selections but this one felt surreal. 

The corrupt natural of the medical system and Big Farma has been on my radar for almost 2 decades. And it has seemed to get worse vs better (ie covid jab mandates). 

Now we see this cabinet selection for this big position be a man who has fought for decades for children's health, for real meaningful healthcare reform, and spoke endlessly about jab side effects... it just takes my breath away. 

WHAT?? Is this real? 

I have so many thoughts. So many memories flood my mind about talking with my patients when I was a chiropractor about our medical system. The need to educate yourself about holistic and alternative health and to make better decisions than the standard american way of health. And of course, the endless conversations about the risks of jabs to new moms and dads so they can make the best decision for their kids. 

It used to feel like there were so few voices speaking out. And has now grown to a very large and loud group. 
I'd love to see the data on how many people voted for Trump because of the MAHA movement. What kind of needle moving did the partnership with RFKJ bring? I think it was quite a lot! 

Coming soon could be real change. And I'm not sure how much he's actually able to do. How deep does the corruption go? I don't know. 

But I do know that for now I am going to have hope and celebrate because this is a BIG win for medical freedom and the health of our nation. 

MAHA friends!! For ourselves, our families, and our country!

I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycoun I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycounter in-between sale. I will give you the link first and explain the sale and my thoughts below.

Here is the link to shop with me: https://www.beautycounter.com/MEGHANBIRT​  and it is also in my bio. 

Beautycounter is not open, but has a month long sale. while they wait to reopen. My link is different and all products are there but many could sell out.

When is the Sale: November 1-December 2

How do you shop: You need my link above. It is good for 72 hours and if you shop again, you need to choose my link again. You can't look me up and you're not attributed to me like you were when I was a brand advocate. 

Also, I wanted to share a few thoughts, I am participating in this Beautycounter in-between sale to give you opportunity to purchase your favorite Beautycounter products. I don't know what the future of Beautycounter looks like yet and haven't decided if I will pursue anything in the future.

I still really love my Crunchi products, and will be sharing Crunchi also. But I am choosing to give you the opportunity to choose both companies. Some of you want to shop Beautycounter and some people want to move on and not support it anymore, and for right now I'm here for you with both. 

Thank you for choosing me and my links, it makes such a big difference and I appreciate it.
