#249 Jason has explored a wide
range of topics in functional medicine such as naturopathic
medicine, osteopathy, and integrative medicine. He shared that he
has found himself drawn to this work over the years. Jason began by
explaining his journey into functional and integrative medicine. He
grew up doing martial arts and was fortunate enough to have his
karate instructor introduce him to natural health.
At 14 years old, he had a retreat at his sensei's farm where he
learned about applied kinesiology, muscle testing, energetics,
meridian lines, and acupressure points. This exposure to
integrative medicine felt magical to him, as he could massage
points and run meridians to make himself feel better. This
experience made him realize the subtle, energetic aspects of how we
heal and how it affects how we interact with the world. Jason grew
up with severe allergies and asthma, needing to use bronchodilators
and antihistamines.
After being introduced to massage therapy, he began to explore
alternative medicine and treatments. After seeing a naturopathic
doctor for six months, his allergies began to disappear, and he no
longer needed inhalers or antihistamines. He was inspired to pursue
naturopathic medicine and kinesiology and has since created a
successful practice. His story illustrates the power of alternative
medicine in treating chronic illnesses.
This conversation focused on an integrative approach to health and
wellness, exploring all aspects including the physical, vital,
emotional, mental, and spiritual. Jason believes that when we work
on health on all these levels, our whole life starts to change, and
we show up in the world in a new way. He feels that the struggle is
the biggest opener, and that we are in an in-between phase where we
are still required to suffer in order to experience growth.
However, he believes that at some point, this will shift and we
will be able to experience growth without having to suffer. He also
recognizes that a lot of times we don't know enough or have the
desire to explore all of these aspects, and that it can be scary to
dive into what's going on and make tangible
changes.
