Ideas Worth Sharing:
“Mindset is a really big piece of the puzzle in functional medicine.” - Karen Bush
“Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to cry. We don’t allow ourselves to do that enough. We aren’t gentle and compassionate enough with ourselves. When you start to let some of those emotions go, even though the process of doing so might not feel so great, on the other side will be glorious things.” - Karen Bush
“It is possible to have a life that feels full in every aspect.” - Karen Bush
