It’s not what you know, it’s what you do. I heard that quote from Todd Henry. I’m not sure if he said it first. When I google it all I get is people who said, “It’s not what you know but who you know.” I suppose this is also good information. It’s not my specific point today, but [...]

If you’re not getting any sustainable benefit from your medical doctor or other practitioner, read on. You’ve been investing a lot of time, energy and money but you’re still in pain or you still haven’t reached your goals of say having normal bowel movements or getting pregnant. (To be clear.
