Osteopathy- The Pathos (pathology) is in the bone (osteo). Why is this important? The RULE OF THE ARTERY! Blood is made in the bones! The river of life depends on the free flow of blood and fluids. When they are blocked or tardy, dis-ease results!

There are about 1,000,000 licensed physicians in the United States. Assuming the population of US is about ~350 million, that means if you are a medical doctor in the U.S… You have a skill set that LESS THAN 0.3% of people have Not even half of one percent of the population

Stress affects EVERY part of your physiology. Any physician who doesn't understand the health of the organism within its environment hasn't understood evolution. We are wired to survive through anything. The body is such an amazing piece of ancient technology.
🧵Could stress be the hidden driver of mental illness? A new model says yes—and it all comes down to brain energy. When stress overwhelms your system, your brain has to ration resources. And that shift could drive psychiatric symptoms. 👇

Bone Broth is magic. Love this @chydorina
A collagen supplement is not going to treat 'connective tissues issues' but it is going to support many aspects of structure/function just as it does for healthy people. Just because something does not treat a condition does not mean it is useless for those with that condition.
