A recent comment thread on my last post got into a discussion about functional medicine and it led me to post my thoughts on the ONLY way out of the health care crisis.
The latter half is posted below, If you would like to read the whole thread, please go the original post.
——————————————
From Tim:
"That definition of Functional Medicine definitely describes what you do. Too bad it couldn't get more attention in the national healthcare debate. Hoffmanacare?"
From me:
"HA! That's good, Tim.
But seriously, 100% responsibility to make the decisions to live an inspired life immersed in a healing environment of thought, movement, and nutrition is the only way to keep the health care system from crumbling.
Check that…the current system HAS to crumble and be rebuilt from the ground up. I'm not waiting for the matrix to change. I am the change. You are the change. We are the change.
But everyone must realize the Truth and live an inspired life based on:
- Present moment awareness (not being attached to / worried about future outcomes or past experiences)
- The understanding the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
- Awareness of calm, functional, peaceful, expansive breathing
- Maintaining organic / authentic / human movement patterns like we used as a 4 to 6 year old.
- Eating a consciously chosen whole food, plant based diet (even if you choose to eat animal products, those animals should have eaten PLANTS…NOT GRAINS their whole life)
There's more (from my perspective) but that covers a lot!
Thanks for the poke. I guess I need it for that to come out.

I just wanted to share this comment thread with everyone so you know where I'm coming from.
Additionally…I think the phrase "Inspired life" is much better than "healthy life" because it says so much more and makes you constantly think…"Am I living an inspired life?" or "Am I living a life of stress because I'm not expressing my excitement and true potential?"
Hmmmmm….
An Inspired life organically and automatically leads to a healthy life because you are constantly following your Spirit (inSPIRE literally means "in Spirit" which is open, expansive, and peaceful…plus it places A LOT of attention and awareness on your BREATH!)
That's all for now. I just wanted to let you know what you're getting into when you listen to what I teach!
I'd love to know what you think about this so please leave me a comment below. I always read them all and respond to as many as I can!
Have an INSPIRED day!
Dr. Steve
