My Health Update & Need for Surgery

As promised, in today’s podcast episode (Pioneering Today Podcast #411), I’m spilling the beans on the health issues I’ve been having for the past few years.

Turns out, what I thought was a damaged muscle turned out to be a tumor that was wrapping its fingers around the nerves in my neck and shoulder.

By the time you hear this, I should be happily recovering from surgery and will be sure to give you an update once I’m able. I’ve also shared about toxin testing & my test results, how to get rid of parasites in your body, and how a 35-day illness revealed the need for more margin in my life.

Have a listen as I share the frustrations my family has experienced these past four months about the broken medical system (hint: they match my frustrations about the broken food system). I’m also sharing some encouragement on ways to be your own advocate.
