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!

@alliebstuckey so beautifully said. And a challeng @alliebstuckey so beautifully said. And a challenge to be more bold in my own faith. 

Friends: Be bold for Jesus. It isn’t always the easiest choice when living in this fallen world. But it is the most meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal thing you can do. We were created to be in relationship with our creator. 

Study your Bible, pray, believe in faith what Christ did for you on the cross, teach your kids, love people well while speaking the truth in love. 

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And if you don’t know Christ yet, know he died for you. And he wants to be in relationship with you. 

Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:10 “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”

Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
The girls and I are unboxing our goodies from Skou The girls and I are unboxing our goodies from Skout Organic. We have bought hundreds of the kid Skout Bars over the years. And their cookies, so delish. 

They are all gluten free and made with healthy ingredients. Before Skout bar we were buying Larabars. Which are great in a pinch, but I didn’t love the non organic nuts and my girls eating them multiple times per week. So I bought the Skout bars and in my opinion, they are a lot better and come in more flavors.

I have to say, I still haven’t tried the lemon poppy seed cookies, but they are going to be sampled tomorrow and I can’t wait. It’s one of my favorite flavors. 

Have you tried any Skout Organic products yet??

How many of you resonate with one or more of these How many of you resonate with one or more of these? 

I get it, I’ve been there and it is so easy to get stuck in one or many of these pitfalls. I am writing about this now because I think so many people tell you these black and white ways of thinking are right and there’s nothing bad about thinking like this. 

But there is such hidden danger lurking in this mentality I think it has burned SO MANY PEOPLE. And I may have been apart of this culture and thinking, unknowingly. Do you know when your eyes are opened you can’t unsee things, that’s how I feel now. 

But these are really all trying to cover the fear and desire for control with wisdom. And it is so common. It is an idol of control and the weight of that is overwhelming and heavy. I secretly want to poll all of the health influencers and practitioners and see if they struggle with this idol of controlling their health. But it is disguised as good. I bet the numbers would be way higher than you ever thought. 

But what if there is a middle ground? What if you can be healthy and have it somehow strike a version of that illusive balance? What if you can have freedom in your health and still make healthy choices? Doesn’t that sound so good? Do you feel like you can breathe a little deeper? Or finally relax? 

I will tell you this is possible. But it doesn’t happen overnight, it can take some time and that is ok. It is really changing the wiring on how you think about health and your body. But if you keep working on breaking free of fear and control you can get that freedom back again. 

In my next post I want to share some ways you can break out of the fear.
Friend…. I completed 15 pushups almost everyday in Friend…. I completed 15 pushups almost everyday in June. This is such an accomplishment for me. Let me explain. 

I was going to make an even better reel, but I didn’t because tech takes too long 😉. So I’m going old school and writing a long post. 

Ever since 2020 I’ve believed there is something wrong with my body. Chronic unexplained symptoms abounded. Some 24/7. For years! 

And finally in 2024/ 2025 I realized a lot of my symptoms were from stress and fear. And they created a fear response of me avoiding, thinking my body was broken, and looking for a supplement/ detox fix. 

And 6 months ago I said that’s enough. What if I’m really not broken? What if God’s healing is coming by Him doing a massive internal transformation in me? 

I’m breaking down old legalistic beliefs, working on things I fear, putting less pressure on myself, realizing my symptoms aren’t dangerous, starting to workout in response to the belief I’m actually strong, and so much more. 

Ultimately, surrendering and trusting the Lord is the root. It’s so spiritual in nature. 

I’ve seen a lot of progress. And there is still progress to go. 

But when I saw @alliebstuckey post about the push up challenge in June I knew I had to do it. I wanted to show myself my trength. That I can show up for myself. I can prove I can do it. 

And I did. And I’m so proud of myself. I see my body, mind, and nervous system healing. And had to share this video. And let me tell you, this video is really more of a highlight reel for me and not you 💕. But please, join in with me in this celebration!! 

And I want to tell you that you can show up well and balanced for yourself. Show yourself your body is strong because your body is strong! Even if there is healing and recovery that needs to happen, you are still so strong! 

PS. I chose this song because of the greatest showman YouTube video of the first time she sang this. Iykyk. If not, go look it up. GOOSEBUMPS!!

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.
