FREE Webinar: Doctor Yourself – The First Principle of Health Sovereignty

Amandha: And that’s really the big C change for the thinking, right? From a holistic mindset, holistic thinking to, from the allopathic suppressive symptom-based model, right? Okay, so let us begin. Essentially, this first principle is helping you to observe. It’s about self-reflection. It’s about inward, the inward journey to identify patterns, to track how you’re progressing, to get to a place of self-awareness and introspection, and that will help you become your own best health advocate.

Amandha: This is me. Of course, like many of you already know who I am. I have a whole bio on my website if you wanna read that as well. I do have medical training. I have been in the field for twenty plus years. I have written a book called Healing with DMSO. I’m a DMSO expert. I blend with DMSO. You can go to DMSO. Store for all of my DMSO, unique DMSO blends, and YumNaturals. Store for all of my other handmade soaps and creams and lotions and solutions for your health as well as supplements.

Amandha: And Yummy. Doctor, of course, is the hub for the membership and for my massive library, which is growing daily. It’s a magnum opus of information from protocols to definitions and so forth, and this is a very valuable aspect of being a member of Yummy. Doctor. And of course, I do weekly lives for members to help guide them, answer questions and so forth.

Amandha: There’s lots of groups inside. Basically it’s social media, our own private social media at Yummy. Doctor. You have your own page, you can communicate with other members, and there’s thousands of members that are there to also help you and support you and guide you. Many have gone through lots of things.

Amandha: There’s lots of testimonials. In fact, on Yummy. Doctor, we have an entire testimonials page for, from products to services. So that’s a great place to start if you’re new to my work and what I’ve done. And courses, protocols are ongoing. I’m always building, I’m always writing articles, I’m always doing interviews, and there’s…

Amandha: The learning is continuous So let’s begin with the, we begin with the begin. Begin at the begin. We observe, okay? We observe the self. How would we start healing? How would we start knowing? Well, we have to know thyself. When we begin this journey, we are having to place ourselves as the first subject, right?

Amandha: Because once you know, and once you… This is a skill. This is a skill that we should be taught as children, that we’re really not taught as children. But how to get to a place of self-reflection and observation on facts, right? We tend to, and I’ve had to talk a lot of people down from big fear, you know, of their health condition, and once their minds can calm, they know what to do, right?

Amandha: They can get themselves to a place where they’d know their next action and but I know a lot of people are making fear-based decisions, and they’re getting them into, they’re getting themselves into dangerous situations. You know, going into the ER, for example. I mean, I’ve saved thousands of gallbladders, okay?

Amandha: Like… And appendices, appendix. I have helped so many of these individuals just, I talk them down from running to the hospital, because automatically, if you go to hospital with those conditions, they immediately want to do surgery. They immediately want to remove your organs, and that is the very…

Amandha: Interventions like that, where you’re biopsying, where you’re cutting, where you’re sewing into the body, that is the very last, last possible, you know, step. If ever needed, right? That should not be the first go-to. The first go-to is understanding, okay, how far along is the condition? And now let’s apply the things we know and remove those stones out of the gallbladder and save the organ.

Amandha: And I have, I have testimonials, I have pictures of before and after. I have lots of poop pictures if you’re interested. I’ll tell you how many… You know, some people wake up… Some hot chicks wake up and they are like, get dick pics in their, in their inbox. I get poop pics, okay? Yeah, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

Amandha: But yeah. So, the point is that we, even with things that feel scary and emergent, there is action that you can take at home. And even if you feel that you did have to go into another setting, like a hospital setting, there’s prep you can do to make that go easier for you, and we’re gonna get into that in later modules.

Amandha: For example, creating a document, a legal document, and having a little go bag that is with you in case of emergency so that you can inform the hospital staff and have them sign off on this document that they will not inject you against your will. They will not inject you when you’re under anesthetic and they…

Amandha: That under no circumstances will you receive any vaccine or any intervention without approval from a trusted family member, for example, if you’re unconscious, right? So the, this is the type of level of preparedness that we want to get to. And the… So this is a skill set, okay? That once you observe this, the self, you can then apply it later to help observe others and help guide them into their own observations, right?

Amandha: As I’m doing with you today. So your own pain, right? Your own thoughts and feelings about symptoms, your memories, your history, your habits, that’s on you. That’s you. No doctor’s gonna know that. Even your best friend might not know all of these things, right? You know you best. When I would sit and listen to patients tell me their stories, I would sit for an hour and a half and let them talk most of the time, and I would start to see their patterns.

Amandha: I would see when things began for them, what was the event that set everything off, and what… And I would just gently nudge and guide them to stay on the path that they were telling me. And nine times out of 10, what people would tell me in that chair, they diagnosed themselves. They basically told me what was going on with them, and I could get 100% accuracy from that, and you can too.

Amandha: It’s… We have to take the mysticism and the miracle-ism out of the idea of doctoring, right? God didn’t make it that difficult, okay? It’s just been tricked away from us, and we’re coming home to the self, and we’re coming home to this knowledge now. Now, all of these tracking that I’m gonna be teaching you in the, in the module one is really tracking you, your behaviors, your triggers.

Amandha: You know, what consequences did you experience? All of that is there to guide you so you can self-monitor. And it doesn’t have to be another chore. It doesn’t even have to be that difficult. Once you get in a new habit pattern with it’s… You can choose to write in the morning. You can… your style is your style.

Amandha: You can do it before bed. A lot of people like to do that as a reflection for the day. You can write things as you remember them throughout the day, right? Just get yourself a journal and start writing it down. Doesn’t have to be perfect, doesn’t have to be pretty, doesn’t have to be underlined or highlighted.

Amandha: It just needs to be a tracking. Just put a date on it so that you can see how you’re going and what’s working and what isn’t

Amandha: So the perceptions also are part of our observation, right? Because our perceptions are warped. They can be warped, but usually they are. They are warped. We all have warped perceptions based on our programming, right? That’s normal, right? We, But it affects the way that we observe things. So if you perceive yourself one way, maybe you perceive that you’re very overweight, but actually you’re only 10 or 20 pounds heavier, right?

Amandha: You… That might show you that really you need a modifier because you’ve been biased. Maybe there was a program running in you that’s, like, really hard on yourself, right? And so through self-reflection, you can start to adjust some of your perceptions so they’re a little more accurate and more reasonable for you to manage, because we tend to catastrophize a lot of things in our lives, and we do tend to compare a lot in our lives, as has social media, you know, created in us, this kind of…

Amandha: We never would be comparing someone, you know, in another part of the world the way we do now. This was not normal, like even when I was growing up. We just… This is… I would compare, you know, someone’s you know, new jacket. I would be like, “Oh, that’s really cool. I wish I had that jacket.” But it was nothing like what we’re experiencing today.

Amandha: And so this observation, once perceptions are kind of filtered through, can really help us lead to assessment. And once we get to assessment, this can lead us to a functional and working diagnosis. So that’s our ultimate goal. But I can tell you that guiding people in this way, yes, we’re a path to a goal, but the journey is very rewarding because along the path, you are getting insight after insight, and you are starting to explore your own personality and drop ideologies that don’t serve you anymore and reassess your needs and reassess your own philosophy of life, and it’s a really wonderful blossoming.

Amandha: So it’s not just like a straight road or even a curvy path. It’s really just like a blooming flower, how we get to this diagnosis and this decision, right? Because ultimately, health could be as easy as, you know, a whisper, right? It could, it can get to that place where the healing, the healing at the end is like nothing.

Amandha: It’s the whole entire journey to get to that point that is the everything and that was the other thing that I learned with helping people, was that I learned the hard way actually that it wasn’t advised to immediately remove someone’s pain or discomfort. I was removing a part of their lives that was there to walk them into this blossoming, and the reason for their sickness was one.

Amandha: It wasn’t meaningless. They chose a journey in this incarnation to have these experiences, and who am I to just rip them away and magically heal them? And then they miss out on the gifts and the lessons from the journey to their own conclusion, right? So I’ve learned over time and space to more gently guide rather than remove, you know?

Amandha: “Oh, you’re in pain. Here, it’ll be gone now.” You know? “Oh, thank you, thank you, I’m so relieved.” But their journey toward the pain, if they had come it, come toward it in a way that was getting them, you know, new insight and helping them be empowered to make decisions for themselves, then the real gift was given, right?

Amandha: So that’s what one thing I learned very much. So as a simple starting exercise, because we have to begin somewhere, right? Just pick one symptom, one symptom that you’ve had this week. Could be anything. Could be got bloated. Could be I’ve been constipated. Maybe you’re not sleeping great this week, or one day this week you didn’t sleep great.

Amandha: Or if you’re perimenopausal, you know, it could be hot flashes. It could be tinnitus. Just pick one symptom. And what you can do, if you want to, you can do this exercise now or you can do it for later, but you can just take out a pen and paper Or type it on your device and just Write it down and go, “Okay, when did, when do I think this happened?

Amandha: When did… What day of the week was it?” All right. “And approximately what time did I notice? Was it morning? Was it night? Was it afternoon? And where was I? Was I at home? Was I out? Was I at work?” Right and if the intensity was one out of 10, what would I rate that intensity? Is it a five? Was it more manageable, maybe it was a three, or was it just 10 out of 10, the worst ever?

Amandha: And then how long approximately did that last for? And was that the first time you had it or did you have it multiple times? Did you have it multiple times in the day? Multiple times in the hour? Multiple times in the week? Have you had it for years and years before that?” And then describe the symptom.

Amandha: And in this module, we get into very specific descriptors, right? Like pain has many different ways to be described. Pain could be sharp, right? It could be burning. It could be throbbing, right? So we start to qualify the symptoms a little more specifically. Yes, I had a strange radiating, burning-type sensation in my low back after I was working for a certain amount of hours, and I think it was on a Monday, and da, da.

Amandha: Okay? You just… It’s facts. It’s like writing an affidavit. An affidavit has no emotion in it. A good affidavit is only facts and evidence. That’s it. It’s not like, “I feel so sad about that.” No, it’s like, this is what happened on this day and that time with that moment, right? It’s just fact-based at this point.

Amandha: Then once you have that sort of picture of this particular symptom, record what happened during the previous 24 hours, right? See if you can trace back anything, any event, or any sequence of events that happened 24, 48 hours or so before that, right? You might not. It might be something ongoing. But it might have been something, if it’s something acute, you know, you can go, “Gee, what did I eat yesterday?

Amandha: Hmm. What did I do differently than I have? Did I try a new product? Did I, you know, was I in someone’s new car that hadn’t detoxed yet? Did I buy a new piece of furniture? Did I change my laundry detergent?” Like, anything that you can think of that may have changed during that timeframe. So you think of meals and sleep and any physical activities, any other stressor, any environmental exposure at all, and anything also that, any factors that aggravate, aggravated you or maybe improved you.

Amandha: So what was your first thought? Like, “Oh, here’s what I need that soothes me. I need to take a hot bath,” or, “I need to apply topical magnesium. It always helps me.” Or, “Then I went out into the heat, and started sweating and it made it all worse. Like, what makes things– what made that symptom worse and what made that symptom better?

Amandha: And if you can continue recording to see if that same symptom comes up in the next few days, then you can sort of begin to get an idea of a pattern, right? You review your notes and you see, you know what? Yeah. Always when I go here, this happens, and I’m starting to figure out why, right? Or I know that if I don’t do A, B, C, then I get this particular, you know, issue.

Amandha: And you start to see a sequence. You start to get a pattern associated with that symptom, and you can do that for all your symptoms, and that’s really what a good intake form does. And in this section, in the bigger system, there’ll be lots and lots of exercises and handouts that will be given to you that you will be able to use to get into this introspective space, and eventually this will all– they will all be workbooks.

Amandha: So this is just the method, right? What is observation? There’s a handout that you’ll get if you join the master class. This is one of the handouts that will come with the master class. It’s called Observation Handout, and essentially it’s, it lay out exactly what I just mentioned, how to do this, what the– what you’re doing with this sheet, and tracking symptoms and patterns Now a lot, like I said, a lot of people can become very upset emotionally when there’s something wrong with their bodies and, or their loved ones, and that’s perfectly normal.

Amandha: But we really want to try to get to a place of where we’re not reacting, we’re investigating. Now, when you’re, when you’re thinking about health, I like the analogy of putting on your little cap and being a health detective.

Amandha: Think of yourself as a detective, right? A detective cannot be emotional, right? They have to get to the facts. They cannot judge themselves. There’s no judgment. There’s no, there’s no fear in that, or fear has to be corralled for clear thinking, just because the way our fight or flight system works, right, cause your brain doesn’t think when you’re in fight or flight. Post-COVID, I think we’ve seen a brain drain, but we’ve also seen a dumbing down and what I mean by that is that because it was a trauma, the plandemic was a trauma on all of us and trauma when you’re in a state of emergency, you are in fight or flight, and you’re operating differently.

Amandha: Your decisions are different and it wasn’t until the end when the plandemic finally ended and we were, we were not afraid to go outside in the sense of like, as far as I was concerned, I hated going shopping cause I never wore a mask once, and I was harassed and bullied almost daily of any time I went out and so I had this like newfound fear of going out, and I think it actually created a lot of agoraphobia because of this conditioning that happened to people and also the amount of destruction that’s happened in people’s lives since and what happens is if you don’t get a break from trauma, it exhausts you, and it puts you into a fawning position where you have no energy and no desire to do anything because your body’s actually self-preserving.

Amandha: So we’re seeing a lot of people saying they just don’t, they have like anhedonia, they don’t really wanna do anything anymore. They have no passions anymore. They don’t care anymore. They’re just kind of detached. Well, that’s just the next phase of trauma, right? Where you’re just trying to rescue the self, and you have no energy whatsoever to do anything else, so your passions naturally go.

Amandha: Your drive has to go because if you had drive, you’d push yourself, and your body cannot handle you to push right now. And so because of all of this, I’ve seen, you know, people kind of falling apart and then, but some people going through a healing crisis afterward, where now you’re finally dealing with the outcome and you’re finally starting to, you know, get your wits about you and the healing, you know, begins once you get out of that state, right?

Amandha: But ultimately the detective work has to begin, and the detective work is First, and the first principle is understanding that the body heals itself, okay? The body knows what it’s doing, and it’s brilliant, and it will heal itself despite all the trauma, despite all the repercussions, despite all of it.

Amandha: You’re not broken, you know? Like, it’s easy to feel that way. It’s easy to be emotional about that because theref- there’s a sensation of loss, right? But ultimately, when the sobering mind comes to forefront, then you can actually get out of the emotional state, you can get out of the fight or flight thinking, and actually have higher learning and thinking or higher ability to have cognition.

Amandha: And that’s what I’m saying, that we’re, we’re… In our world right now, why is it falling apart or seeming to fall apart? Like, a lot of people are noticing, you know, a lot of degrading behavior or rudeness or whatever in the world, and that’s because when you’re that wiped out, you do not have good graces.

Amandha: You don’t have the energy for kindness, for thoughtfulness, for generosity. That goes out the window, right? So what we’re seeing is a survival mode population that’s just trying to get by and nobody knows how to get out of it. So as much as the COVID shots killing, you know, millions of people and all of the destruction of people’s livelihoods and careers and all of that, okay?

Amandha: Aside from that, the secondary destruction we’re still playing out right now, right? It’s still happening right now. It’s not over. The COVID debacle is not really over. We’re actually still living in the wake of the event, right and we’re trying to figure out how to get through this, all the disappointment and all the sorrow and all the grief and all the loss and all the change, right?

Amandha: It was one assault after another after another. So we have to try to peel back the layers of what that’s, is happening there. And the most important thing of all the health principles is about relaxation, okay? It’s about stress management. You could do all the things in the world, and you might even know someone who’s had, say, cancer.

Amandha: They’ve done all the right things. They’re doing all the right healing, you know? And all of that, they still die. They still can’t heal. Why? Well, I can tell you after witnessing, you know, those stories or having some people even around me that just couldn’t do it, I can tell you that their environment was constantly stressful, and they were never able to get out of fight or flight.

Amandha: And so the body was not in healing mode. So this is the most important thing, okay? That no matter what, you need to find a way to self-regulate, okay? I have lots of different options for you there, whether it’s meditation, going for a walk yoga whatever. There’s a million to one ways to do it, right?

Amandha: But you have to prioritize it, okay? Because it is life itself, right? And I know we’re in a materialistic, commercialized world that values production, it values Commercialism, it values, you know, the buy and the sell, right? And that’s a very active yang principle. It’s very forceful and constant. But we have to balance the yin.

Amandha: We have to remember that life is flow. And when you really wanna have joy in your life, you cannot be in a stressed out, manic sort of situation. I know we know this cognitively, but it’s like getting into that lifestyle takes discipline, because it’s very easy to be pulled out of it. And not only that, not only are, is our, you know, our world kind of around like the, in this way, but also then we come home and, like, put on Netflix or something and watch some kinda other scary thing or some other stressful thing that puts us into fight or flight.

Amandha: So we very rarely get breaks from fight or flight, right? So really watch what media you’re consuming and what you’re listening to. Does it relax you? Does it put you into a more digestive rest state? Because you can’t digest, you can’t rest, you can’t heal if you’re not in that situation, okay?

Amandha: Does ADV advocate German new medicine? In part I do, That’s, that’s a huge topic that I have discussed before that I won’t, I can’t get into here today, but there are aspects of it I very much appreciate it. I don’t adhere to the entire system. I think there’s a lack of evidence, unfortunately, for a lot of it.

Amandha: But I do… In the overall of it, yes, I do support it because I do feel that part of the picture of health is knowing where the emotions do lead into the physical body and where they do connect to us, right? And that’s the idea of what I just said about stress, right? Stress as an emotion creates a stress response, then has a bodily effect.

Amandha: So it has to be addressed. Where I kinda take issue is that I only believe it’s part of the health picture, and a lot of practitioners sort of treat it like that’s the whole enchilada, and I disagree. I feel that there’s you pull from all disciplines where you need to, and everything is custom.

Amandha: So there’s never gonna be one system that’s the most perfect or you know, one discourse that is the be-all, end-all Just like there’s no one correct diet, right? I just don’t, I don’t adhere to that rigidity. That’s all. So okay. So here we are just, we’re discussing about when we’re trying to get facts about our bodies, right?

Amandha: And trying to tease out the emotion from the fact and later on we’ll go down the emotional aspect. We’ll talk about that part. But for this, for just symptomatology and the symptom can be I feel grief or I feel sadness or I feel anger or I’m constantly angry. That can be a symptom, right? But you’re not emotionally going, “But I’m so angry,” when you’re…

Amandha: Like, when you’re thinking about it, you’re going, “Okay, so I notice that I’ve been angry, so, I’m gonna write that down,” which means that my liver is agitated because when you’re always in anger it means liver agitation because that’s where the emotion actually derives from in the body, right? It’s the seat of anger, and you can talk about that from a traditional Chinese medicine format which is the way I teach.

Amandha: I teach from an integrated organ system and meridian system and that model because I said it’s very important to understand the connections in our bodies and that was one of the greatest resources I learned when I went through naturopathic college.

Amandha: We learn how to do acupuncture, we learn how to do tongue and pulse reading.

Amandha: We learn traditional Chinese medicine theory and herbology, and that philosophy on health made the most sense to me of all the philosophies. It was… It’s ancient knowledge for one. It’s tested, so it’s time tested. And I had the most positive outcomes from applying that knowledge to my thinking and to my assessments.

Amandha: And therefore, I feel there’s a lot of value there to teach it so ultimately we’re trying to prevent jumping to conclusions, right? We want the evidence as much as we can gather, and we want to try to get our bodies into this calm, grounding thinking mode so we can think. Like, the other thing I, was sort of alluding to there was, you know, with the world being how it is right now, a lot of people are not thinking well because they’re in that fight or flight. So it’s, that’s the dumbing down that we’re seeing, right? That’s where we’re seeing people making poor decisions. They’re not thinking very clearly. The outcome to our society is what we’re seeing on the bigger picture.

Amandha: A lot of people do just random internet searching or be scrolling and find something, or do some unnecessary interventions or just like, you know, I had people coming into my office, they’d have like bags and bags of supplements, you know? They really didn’t have a rhyme or reason on why they were taking the supplement.

Amandha: They didn’t know how long they were gonna take it for, or, you know, what they should take with it, or how they should eat with it, or what the big plan was, right? And we don’t really wanna get into that, where we’re just like randomly taking a supplement. We wanna understand why we’re doing it, if we’re doing it.

Amandha: We wanna make sure the food is, the primary support first, and then we wanna surround it, making sure that we’re filling the gaps in our diet and lifestyle so that we’re not missing anything and that’s a guided way of doing it, not just randomly, “I saw this supplement, it promised something, and I wanna take it and do it.”

Amandha: We really wanna get out of that thinking because it kinda wastes your time, money, and energy doing that, and it will not get you necessarily to the goal that you want, right?

Amandha: So here’s an example, observation versus interpretation, right? So we just simply observe there’s a headache behind the right eye and it’s, have had it for three days.

Amandha: An interpretation that can be based on fear is like, automatically it’s a brain tumor, right? Like automatically that means there’s a brain tumor. No, it doesn’t mean that at all. A headache behind the right eye for 3D- three days could mean it’s your gallbladder. That could be a symptom of your gallbladder, and depending on different locations of the headache, it can map out different parts of the body and what is, what is happening to those parts of the body.

Amandha: Or another observation, I, every time I eat I’m tired, right? Well, that could be adrenal fatigue, that could be a thyroid disease, that could be diabetes, it could be cancer, right? There’s just so many things that the interpretation could come to and… or it could just be that you’re not really, digesting that well or you have sluggish digestion and your body wants to make you sleep so that it can, you know, deal with the food that you just ate, and all the energy it has is just for digestion right now, right?

Amandha: Could be that simple. So, this is what we have to be careful of, is just coming to quick conclusions. And so our interpretations can be incorrect without gathering enough data so that we can come to that logical conclusion. This aspect of every symptom has a beginning is really overlooked, I notice, just in general from people.

Amandha: Because, you know, in my Telegram group, Healthy Dose of Truth, and in Yummy. Doctor membership, oftentimes as I get questions all day long, when people begin to tell their health story or give information to try to get help very rarely do they tell in that information when it started or, and what happened when it started.

Amandha: I’m asking that question so many times, and it’s extremely valuable to ponder of the origins, right? Look back at the time of those origins, even if it’s generally thinking about it

Amandha: I was looking at your comments for a second

Amandha: Got it. Okay. Great. You guys are having some conversations. That’s cool. So when did it start? When did it start? If you can train yourself to think, “When did this really start?” You know? And what was going on in my life at that time? Was I going through a major change? Was there a death? Was there a change in work?

Amandha: Did I move houses? Like, what happened around that time, right? Did I get a vaccine? Did I, you know, have an injury? Did I, you know, did somebody call me names? Like, what happened around that time? Is, it’s often glossed over, and I would take people back in time. I would say, “Okay, this symptom, when did it start?”

Amandha: “I think it was around this time.” “Okay. What happened around that time?” “Oh, I think this happened.” Then they’d tell me about it, and then we’d go back further. What happened previous to that? And oftentimes, we would trace their entire health, when did it start, I would say 85%, maybe 90%, maybe more, would come down to procedures that happen in childhood: vaccines, C-sections, antibiotics, cortisol.

Amandha: It would always come back to that. And in my mind, I’m like, “Well, I’ll be. The solution to our health problems is to fire our doctors from day one.” And also not be poisoned, which is kinda harder to… It’s getting harder and harder to navigate in this world because there’s more ways to be poisoned. Like, they’re literally dropping it from the sky, so they’re spraying our food, then they’re dropping it from the sky, so then there’s those problems, too.

Amandha: But aside, but the interventions from doctors was the set-off point for their disease progression, and that was in most of the cases that I pared back. So it’s really important to kinda go all the way back and see when did it all begin, right? All it takes is one vaccine to mess up your gut, then you’re not digesting properly, you’re now going into deficiencies. Now your organs are struggling. Then come the rashes, then come the lung issues, then come the bowel concerns, right? And then those progress, and those progress, and those progress. We can prevent all of that, right? So ultimately, when we have these sensations, we’re kinda impatient.

Amandha: We just kinda want it to go away, but that is valuable data, okay? It’s information that can help us and help you get to root cause. We want true root cause, and that will help us design our plan. How are we going to come back home into homeostasis with ourselves, right? After all of this history, after all of these challenges, right?

Amandha: It will help you guide and hone what your first, second, third, fourth steps are.

Amandha: So yeah, now you have a plan. You’re not just randomly taking stuff. You’re not just hoping for the best, right? You have a workable manuscript The exercise aspect or the beginning of where to start is this exercise I’m gonna walk you through, and we’re gonna we’re gonna…

Amandha: I’m gonna walk you through probably not this exercise. I think I’m gonna walk you through, the next exercise. But This is a summary of the exercise, so you’ll get in the masterclass the beginning worksheet, which is just what I said. It’s basically how to go back in time to research your own symptoms and to mark down any events, anything that has changed and sort of as part of your journaling and information.

Amandha: So much happening in life, it would take me forever, plus I don’t know if I’d match the actual root cause of the current situation. No. See, what happens, this beautiful process happens, and this is where we get to a place of trust, right? Where your inner mind is genius, and really you gotta step… You’re gonna…

Amandha: That part of the scan process, that part of the introspective process is really not just cognition. It’s heart knowledge. It’s gut knowledge. It’s tuning in, and when you tune in, what’s interesting is the, when you ask yourself a question, and you sit and you wait for the answer, it’s fascinating what begins to come forward for you, and it’s learning to trust your intuition.

Amandha: It’s learning to trust your higher self, right? Because that’s where the most knowledge, the most true and accurate knowledge will come from. And what happens is we’re in the busy mind. We’re busy, busy. This happened and that happened. This, this, this. That’s too overwhelming. That’s da, da.

Amandha: That’s not what this process is. It’s the opposite. It’s letting go of all of that and tuning in and scanning the body and sitting with yourself and allowing the information to arise naturally. And as you practice that and trust that, it’s incredible what comes forward for you, and it’s way easier than that.

Amandha: You’re writing it down because you’re stimulating a part of yourself that’s saying, “I wanna know this. I wanna chart this. I wanna find out more.” And then you’re allowing the rest to titrate into your soul self, your true self, and percolate outward, and it happens 100% of the time.

Amandha: 100% of the time. Does not have to be overwhelming. In fact, it’s quite the opposite of overwhelming because you’re dropping the overwhelm to do this. So let’s let’s go through a very simple body scan process that I have run through with my members in the past and this is what I was alluding to here.

Amandha: We actually have three thinking centers, and most people are walking around thinking with broken brains and damaged guts, right? And they’re not heart-centered, Then we get lost in the forest of information, right? So we do have three Haras or three thinking centers: our brain, our heart, and our gut.

Amandha: Now, if we want wisdom, we use all three. This particular body scan is just an assessment tool, but it’s more because you are tuning in, you are tapping into your current physical, emotional, mental state. You are learning a skill every time you do it, right? Self-observation and you’re gonna identify areas that you weren’t really thinking about, right?

Amandha: Where’s the tension, pressure? Maybe there’s restriction, maybe there’s congestion, pain or numbness or even a relaxed area in your body, right? So this is just a gathering information session and strengthening your ability to observe without analyzing or judging what you find. It’s a simple inner reflective scan.

Amandha: How you do it, and if you wanna do it now, you can this body scan.

Amandha: You sit or lie comfortably in a quiet space, right? Oftentimes you could sit on a chair, but don’t cross your arms and legs. Try to have things a little more neutral. Try to be comfortable and some people will fall asleep if they’re laying down. If that’s you, then you may wanna sit up to do the exercise.

Amandha: So the beginning of this exercise is to center your attention in three locations. First, so you can just close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Amandha: How many of you actually did deep breathing today? When was the last time you did that?

Amandha: So automatically just by closing your eyes and taking three deep breaths, you are far more intuitive, far more introspective

Amandha: So you now bring your awareness to your brain, to your mind, and what you can do is just like the classic meditation technique, just park there for a minute and just notice any thoughts. What were you thinking about? And you’re not really gonna try to change them or anything. You’re just… They’re just like clouds floating through.

Amandha: Oh, I was thinking about that. Oh, I was thinking about that. Just, you’re just noticing from a distance

Amandha: Oh yeah, I’m really, I’m really active. I’m in Amandha’s free webinar, so that’s what I’m thinking about right now, Amandha. And then you can bring your attention down into your heart area and notice how that feels. Are there any sensations, any emotions, any feelings, any tension? What’s happening in the center of your chest right now?

Amandha: Just sit there and bring your attention there. In one of the Reiki trainings that I did it, we did this exercise beginning all the healings. We would actually pretend we were, we had shrunk ourselves into little tiny humans, and we would first sit in the third eye and observe up there, then I would crawl down into the heart chamber and I would sit in the heart chamber, and I would observe there, and I would go down into the Hara, into the belly, and I would sit and I would observe there.

Amandha: So this is a similar thing.

Amandha: So once you’ve sat in the heart and noticed what’s come up and what you’re feeling, what sensations are present, then you can bring your awareness down into your belly area. The Hara is sort of centered around the umbilicus, okay? It’s just around but slightly below your navel and just notice the rise and fall of your breathing, any abdominal sensations.

Amandha: Do you feel grounded? How are you feeling? Do you feel connected and rooted? So you just spend a few moments connecting to those three centers As you need, and you can do this any time. You can… Just not while you’re driving and once you feel settled and connected, so you’ve connected all three, then you start at the top of your head and so what you can do is move your head from left to right, side to side, up and down, and just sort of what sensations do you feel on your head right now? Do you feel pressure on your hair? Do you have your hair up? Are you feeling any tension? How’s your brow? Is it tight? Right? And then you go all the way down, wiggling, flexing, rotating every single area, bringing awareness to it, and then just observe any sensations that you feel.

Amandha: So you move all the way down your body, your scalp, forehead, eyes, down to the jaws. Your jaw tense or tight? How’s your tongue sitting in your mouth? How do your feel? Like I can feel that I’m wearing earrings, for example. I feel that sensation. Is there any tension in your face, in your neck?

Amandha: How are your shoulders? Do you tend to hunch them? What about your arms? Then you scan down the arms, elbows, wrists, hands. If I focus on it, I can feel my rings on my fingers, right? I can feel certain aspects of my arms

Amandha: So then you can go all the way down your upper back. How’s your back feeling? Just scan your back. Any pain, discomfort? Where are you sitting? Are you pressed against something, right? Note those sensations. And then your chest area. What’s happening in your chest? How are you breathing? What’s the pace of your breathing?

Amandha: Any breast tenderness? Are you know, what pressures are there? Then you do ribs, abdomen. Go all the way down to the belly. How, any sensations? You might be feeling the clothes on your body You go down your pelvis, hips, and all down the legs. You could probably feel yourself sitting in the chair. You can tense and loosen any area to get more sensations out of them.

Amandha: Go all the way down, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, feet, all the way to the toes. The more you do this quick body scan every day, you will learn and train your mind to tune into yourself, and you will notice the subtle. Unless we focus on it, we tend to not pay attention, we tend to not notice, right? And as you move through each region, you’re gonna note those things down afterward, especially if it was remarkable, right?

Amandha: And what feels normal to you and what feels abnormal or what feels off, right? Like, oh, you know, I think I’ve been neglecting my ankle, it’s sort of throbbing today, you know. Or I have this issue with my toes, you know, or my toes are always cold or whatever. You might get some in-inside information every time you do a scan.

Amandha: And you can take your time. Some people set timers, but there’s no need to rush through your process and if you find an area that is really painful or maybe some emotions come up or it’s uncomfortable, then you can actually sit with it, and the goal is actually not to change it’s actually to feel it’s actually just sit in the sensation and feel it.

Amandha: I highly recommend the Undo app. I have a code for that. Maybe if Fabian’s in the chat, he can put the information for the Undo app in the comments. I worked with Matthew Zoltan for a while and had many interviews with him, and there’s gonna be some upcoming interviews as well and I would say from all my meditation history and education, you know, and Reiki training and so forth, I would say his method of body scan and feeling is one of the most effective out there, and he has an entire app called the Undo app, and I do have a discount code for that.

Amandha: It’s life-changing because what he guides you through their auditory guidance to do the type of scan, but then you trace through your body the sensations to get to the root cause sensation, and it is extremely powerful. I’ve had major shifts simply from doing the various exercises in Undo app.

Amandha: I remember I was in Las Vegas. I was in a hotel room that was not the best because there was a very loud air conditioner outside the window and I couldn’t sleep even with earplugs in this hotel room, and I was kinda agitated about it. I had just lost one of my cats right before going to Las Vegas, and he was my, he was my old boy, and we were very bonded, and I was in a lot of grief, but I was just functioning and, you know, I was speaking at this conference, and I was really busy.

Amandha: And but I needed my sleep, and I knew I needed to get good sleep, but that air conditioner vibration was, like, vibrating through the bed, so it wasn’t even auditory. Even though I put my earplugs in, I could still heal, hear it and feel it. And I was getting really angry about it. I intuitively turned on the Undu app and selected one of the exercises.

Amandha: I can’t recall the title of it now, but it was perfect. And as I went through the sensations in my body and listened to the guidance, that sound actually disappeared, and I was so blown away. It absolutely went away, and I went to sleep, and I fell asleep, and I had a great sleep. The other, the ego part of me was, like, wanting to march down to reception and demand a new change of rooms and all this kind of stuff, right?

Amandha: But I mastered that annoyance myself where it became a non-issue, right? So that is extremely powerful, right? Would sitting with the feeling include pressing on an area such as under the ear, which feels sore when I press on it? Well, you’re not trying to elicit pain, so no. It would be more about, okay, I know I have this issue here.

Amandha: Let me focus on this issue, and maybe I’m gonna send it a color What do I feel when I think about that? Let me sit with those feelings that what I get when I think about that. Like, maybe you feel, I feel worried. What am I feeling worried about? Where are my, sensations and the feelings about that?

Amandha: Oh, I’m, oh, I’m, I’m scared about this, and the other thing. It might lead you to like, oh, because this happened to my grandpa or my uncle, or and I was– and their life went a certain way, and it might give you a new insight, right? And yes, I’ll be teaching and talking about all these wonderful things, EFT tapping, tuning forks.

Amandha: All of these can be used in conjunction with these scans. You can use acupressure as well. You can use iTeraCare wand. When you’re doing any of these things, you can do… There’s all kinds of ways to shift, right? So once you– With this body scan, once you’re at the feet, you then just notice your sides, like which side seems different than the other side, right?

Amandha: Like left versus right, if you’re dominant one side or the other, if they feel the same or different to you and then once you come out of it, just have a little journal next to you and just write down your observations, right? Just put the date on there and observe and this is something you can do as a habit every day, and you will get more and more and more depth of insight into your own condition and what you need and how you need it.

Amandha: And this is– I wish everyone would do this and would be aware of this because it is extremely valuable information that no doctor, no practitioner can ever tell you about, right? This is your own journey. This is your own information, and you have all the access. And now some of us are pattern recognizers from a young age, and some of us or some people don’t have that skill or have to develop that skill still.

Amandha: But it’s very handy to have a pattern recognition understanding therefore, it grows with practice, right? Developing the skill for health assessment is essentially using these tracking systems to map, and I will show you when we’re doing the live sessions, and there’ll be videos that go along with the course and everything.

Amandha: I will show you methods that I use to connect symptoms or to link behaviors, or to see how the exposure affected a certain organ system, or how an emotion’s affecting an organ system or so forth, or the sensitivity of that food and all the conditions in the environment, how that person is sleeping, how that person is living, and show you how to map that out, okay?

Amandha: Every practitioner has to rely on pattern recognition of some sort, okay? So that’s why we’re trained in school to do that and symptoms are used as the connectors, right? And what the allopathic world has done is taken the symptoms and made these diagnoses that are what they see as patterns. But I think it’s a messy way of doing it ultimately because, for example, when you’re going through a detox event, you will have only so many of the same set of symptoms.

Amandha: For example, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, mucus production, a fever, right? Could have gastrointestinal symptoms, could get a rash. That is all… Those are all detox symptoms, for example and you could have any admixture of those same set of symptoms depending on what organ system’s more active, and also what the chemicals are and how they have to be handled to be removed.

Amandha: That’s why the cold and flu ideology belief system is a false one, because you don’t just catch a cold or catch a flu. You build it in your body. You create this in your body over a period of time, and then there’s a trigger to release it and all the releasing symptoms are the same, just a different subsection of that.

Amandha: So we don’t need all of these diagnostic titles to tell us it’s this, it’s, you know, this versus that versus this. We don’t need that. We just need to know what the symptoms trace back to, which organs are involved, and then treat those organs, right? And so ideally we want to use our system of noticing to develop a skill set of connecting the dots, right?

Amandha: Obviously, if you put one pinpoint in the middle of a paper, that there’s no observable reality there, right? That one point cannot tell the story. And a headache can be a headache, or a headache means a ton of things. It could be from the menstrual cycle. It could be you’re dehydrated. It could be, right, you ate something or sugar or whatever, and it only happens every so often.

Amandha: Like, what is your pattern of having that headache, right? And then you start… Then the bigger picture begins to emerge. So once we get the repetition, the, from the journaling and the symptom tracking and the body scans and that observation, those exercises that we’re going to be doing, when I teach this full module, when you purchase that module, it’s going to have this step-by-step all the way through with all these exercises, and you will come out so self-wise.

Amandha: Like, you will come out of that… And that’s just the first principle. You will have gained so much knowledge of the self from just practicing those very simple exercises. You’ll be very pleased and way less panicky as far as your health goes. You’ll already start to get insights and guidance from yourself, right?

Amandha: So every data point now as you point along that piece of paper, you had one dot, now you had another, now you have a line between that, then another and another, and they all, it creates a whole tapestry, a whole web, and that becomes your story, and that becomes how you became you. And then you can see where the web is puckering and where the, or where it’s collapsing and where it needs to be supported, right and there’s different kinds of patterns.

Amandha: There’s different styles of patterns. For example, we have time-based patterns, right? So these are symptoms that have predictable times or specific times, right? I always notice 2:00 in the afternoon I’m dead tired. I always notice I wake up at 3:00 AM. I always notice I get headaches every weekend.

Amandha: Sinus congestion comes every spring, right? Digestive symptoms after every time I eat, et cetera. A trigger pattern is a symptom that consistently appears, you know, after an event or exposure, right? One trigger pattern is with fibromyalgia. I see… I’ve seen this so many times.

Amandha: The fibromyalgic patient is like a glow stick, an uncracked glow stick. The glow stick is full of these chemicals. It’s just full of chemicals, and it doesn’t light up until it’s cracked, right? Well, a fibromyalgia situation is as closest to death… It’s on the level of cancer, right? Because the toxicity and degradation is built up to such a level, but the set-off moment hasn’t happened.

Amandha: They usually have an accident like a car accident or a fall or a trauma of some sort. Could even be an emotional trauma, and boom, it’s like the crack, and all the symptoms just blossom overnight. It’s just boom, now they’re full on symptomatology, right? So that would be a trigger pattern. We see that definitely was a layup to the event, right?

Amandha: But it was there was a moment in time that set it off, right? So that’s a trigger pattern. What triggers you? For example, I’ve suffered from migraines since dental work was done decades ago, and I’m constantly having to manage it. I know my triggers, right? Triggers can be the barometric pressure has changed, right?

Amandha: There’s a storm coming. It could be that I let myself get dehydrated, could be because my period came, right? It could be because I ate sugar, white sugar. So you eventually learn to know what your triggers are, and that leads you to an… also a conclusion. For me, in that case, it created an inflammation cycle.

Amandha: When I was triggered like that, my body went into an inflammation cycle, and the inflammation is there to heal, which means it thinks it has to do that during that time, right? So I realize that if I have a trigger or if I’m exposed to multiple triggers, immediately I go toward things that are going to get my inflammation under control before they really set up.

Amandha: So once inflammation is in full mode, it’s really hard to settle it back down, but you can prevent it from going full mode. And so I’I’d run and go take the curcumin, start pouring the DMSO and magnesium all over my body, right? I would get drinking, like, water and coconut water to try to stay… get as hydrated as possible.

Amandha: I might go and ground barefoot outside and just try to ground out some of it. I might take a nap, right? Like, there were things that I knew I could do immediately because I understood my trigger patterns. Sequence patterns are symptoms that occur in a predictable order.

Amandha: So constipation may be followed by headaches.

Amandha: This is a sequence now, right? Don’t get enough sleep, you know you’re gonna be tired, then you’re gonna crave sugar or caffeine, right? Emotional stress, I would have emotional stress and create an irritable bowel syndrome in myself in my youth ’cause I was vaccine damaged, and so my gut couldn’t handle emotional stress. When I was stressed in a social setting, I would clench my gut, and I didn’t realize I was clenching my gut, and therefore I was creating this nervous system issue inside of my body that was creating, you know, alternating loose stools and hard stools and I eventually healed that by getting in touch with the emotion that was leading me to stress myself and gut protocols as well in a combination.

Amandha: So sequencing is also a pattern to recognize. We also have locational patterns, right? We see that the same thing. It’s always in the neck it’s always on the right side, or it’s always starts in the sinus, or it’s always this particular joint, right? I see the pattern. It’s always here. It’s always on this side.

Amandha: I’m always hurting myself on this left side, or it’s always near the eye, or it’s always… Right? So you start to get locational patterns arising. Of course, behavioral patterns are actions that repeat and will influence you. So I’m sure we all have these.

Amandha: So a behavioral pattern could be like, oh, I doom scroll till midnight, then I, you know, have disturbed sleep, and then I gotta get up early for work. You know, I’m consistently skipping meals. I keep not eating certain meals I’m doing behaviors of my lifestyle. I’m sitting not well.

Amandha: I’m staring at screens all day. I don’t have blue light filters, you know. I don’t turn my Wi-Fi off at night. You know, there’s behavioral patterns that we start to notice that we probably could take agency over. We could make a different decision, right? We could decide to go to bed earlier. We could decide to, you know, get up and make different choices, right?

Amandha: So that’s part of our own behavior, and we learn eventually to care and love about ourselves and love the world enough to have that self-care and make better decisions and then there’s clusters. They’re kind of like, a type of pattern that really have a lot more symptoms involved, right, in that pattern.

Amandha: So you could have a multitude that kind of come together. The pattern is, like, with others immediately. It’s not just one to the other to the other. It’s like this all starts at the same time, right? Like, fatigue, brain fog and gut discomfort. It happens all together. I get this rash, and immediately with the rash, like, I’m tired and I get a headache.

Amandha: You know, you can also see cluster patterns as well what happens is we have a reticular activating system, and this is why when we start tuning the way we think and we begin to make these improvements and changes in our lives, it begets more of the same. Because we have a part of our brain that is a yes man, right?

Amandha: It just is, “Oh, you wanna do that? Yes, we’ll do more of that. Oh, you wanna do that now? We’ll do more of that, too.” And it, and it wants to identify what you’re already identifying, and that’s why getting focused on your new patterns and self-discipline with journaling and self-reflection is going to beget more of the same and what’s nice is that it will actually become habitualized and more and more easy and natural for you to do it, cause always at first, it, something new feels like a chore. You know? It feels more, there’s some discomfort around it. You have to maybe push yourself a little to do it. Once you get there, because we have the reticular activating system and because we have other aspects of ourself that we can train, then those things become more natural over time, right?

Amandha: I mean, how many people in relationships didn’t even realize they were in an abusive relationship until they started to, you know, notice that there were these patterns that seemed random and disconnected, but they started to put them together. Maybe they heard the testimony of someone who was being abused and realized that they were being abused, right?

Amandha: But they just sort of didn’t connect it. They were like, “Oh, well, he’s just sometimes that,” like, or, “She’s just sometimes this way,” and, like, “That person’s just like this sometimes. They don’t mean it,” or whatever. But then when you really sit back and see it as a bigger pattern, you’re like, “Oh, they legit are emotionally manipulating me, or taking advantage of me,” or whatever.

Amandha: And you don’t really see it until you get sort of a step back, and get your observable reality, and able to make that distinction, right?

Amandha: And so ultimately the goals of your pattern recognition is to objectify and organize information, to identify a recurring relationship, and to develop a clearer understanding of your health history. At the first, in the first module, everyone will have the traditional sort of health intake form, and I always notice when doing a health intake form of the caliber that I offer, great insights come just from that because you have to think back to things like, “Did I, did I have this surgery, and when did I have that surgery?

Amandha: Oh yeah, I forgot I had my tonsils out,” or, “I forgot I had this happen.” You know? And it brings everything anew again of your life to the forefront, and you can start to immediately put the pieces together from just the intake form alone. I had lots of patients come to me with, like, aha moments just from doing the intake form, right?

Amandha: Like, “I never realized I did that before. I never knew that I was doing these things on repeat, or that this cycle was coming around multiple times, or whatever, you know? And part of a good practitioner is to help the patient arrive to their patterns, right? To maybe they almost have the whole puzzle together already, and you’re just, like, helping them, like, giving them the other piece.

Amandha: Like, maybe try that piece, see if that works, see if that works, and then letting them have the empowerment moment of figuring it out. Because once you, once you figure it out in, kind of in your own way, and I’ve seen this many times, ’cause I try to help empower people instead of just giving them the answer, you know?

Amandha: You can see it’s them now. They’re proud of themselves. They did it. It’s theirs. It’s like they own it, you know? And it gets us out of this, like, hero worship situation where we have with doctors as gods, like, coming in and saving the day and swooping in like Superman kind of idea. We have to kinda…

Amandha: We’re, we’re our own heroes, you know? And if you really wanna have self-confidence, self-esteem, and it’s the, all around that self-empowerment piece, right? ‘Cause once you kinda go, “Oh,” and you get it, and you figure it out for yourself, it’s incredible how much more So you’re not just empowered, like I feel empowered, I feel like strong.

Amandha: You’re literally in-powered inside powered to your higher self to greater knowledge, right? And it is, it’s what it’s all about, I think, the whole of life is this, to get to this place of excitement for life. Not this, “Oh, I gotta slog it at work. I gotta just, you know, rinse and repeat my life, and it’s boring, and I’m overstimulated.”

Amandha: Like- like they want us, you know, destitute and suicidal. No, we are incredible beings of light. We are of God. Like, we are magnificent, and I think that we have this in breath and out breath of our existence and we’re kind of been in this, like, really big, like, inhale for a long time, and we’re just getting ready to just blow it out, just exhale all of this out and finally reconnect to who we are, and it’s gonna be the most exciting time that we’ve ever had, and I feel like that’s incoming.

Amandha: And it’s because we are fed up, and we had to get to like, you know, ground zero of fed up and pissed off and depressed to remember ourselves again, you know? And have a renaissance moment, and I really feel like that’s coming for us. And so everyone who’s struggling, and trust me, we’re all in it.

Amandha: We’re all in it. We’re all feeling it on some level, ’cause we’re all connected on some level. Better days are ours. It’s our divine right, and we will have them and we will make them and there’s no hopelessness because what I literally just described to you is the answer. And it, is it that difficult? It’s not that difficult, is it?

Amandha: Right? To do some self-observation, self-reflection, self-assessment, and a little bit of inner touching in, into the inside of you? Nah. I think it’s doable, actually. I think it’s totally realistic. And if everyone did this, I mean, the entire world would change, like in a matter of days, right? Because everyone would find their agency.

Amandha: They would find their inner power, right? They would have their sense of self back again. They would know who they were. So knowing thyself is the first principle of this system because I feel it is the primary introspection for us to have access to our divine selves, and that’s how we’re going to really truly have the energy and the willpower and the direction that we need to get through what’s coming for us, which I think is going to be marvelous and so from this pattern recognition, you will get, you know, data points.

Amandha: You will be writing things down. So just have a little section for yourself, like, have a really nice journal. We do sell really lovely journals, but normally just in bundles, but I think we are gonna put it up as its own. And have like, maybe a little folder that you know, that’s labeled for you that you kind of keep with your medical records.

Amandha: Like if you have been to any doctor or hospital or dentist or veterinarian, then you should have copies of all your records, okay? You should always keep copies of your records, of your health history. It’s really important. Just get in the habit of every time or any time you go hopefully it’s few and far between, but any time you have, just get copies of your records.

Amandha: A lot of them, they’ll send it through email now. You can get hard copies if you ask for it. Sometimes you have to pay if it’s hard copies. But it’s really important to have that and not just like let the world have your private information. And because it’s part of your historical record, and it can really help you fill in any gaps when you’re looking back and having some historical reflections of your health.

Amandha: And it will then, you know, propel you forward into some of your future health decisions. Now creating a personal health baseline. So baseline is important because it’s where you kind of start from, right? And you need to… So all of this work that’s done is, in this self-reflection, eventually gets to where am I now, right?

Amandha: Here’s my history, here’s all that happened, here’s what I’m feeling, here’s my priorities but where am I right now, you know, in this moment? And that becomes your baseline. That becomes your sort of reference area. Because how are you gonna know if you’re improving? How are you gonna know if things are getting better or worse over time, right?

Amandha: You want your baseline. You wanna assess your baseline. And once you have that rating, you can compare that baseline going forward, okay? Here’s where I started, here’s me a year later. Oh my goodness, look at all of these points that were at this very, you know, low level or whatever. Now I’m in, you know, really in a great place, or this is really improved, and this area still hasn’t changed much.

Amandha: You know, maybe I’ll focus there next year, you know, on this other point. It will help you track this. It will help you see your improvements, and it will build upon your self-esteem as well, because you’ll see where you’ve come from, right? You’ll see that you have been putting the work in, and it’s very rewarding, right, when you see the results of your efforts.

Amandha: And nobody did it for you, and nobody gave it to you. It’s yours and yours to own. And when you own it just feeds the whole system forward. So really, the baseline is like a snapshot of your current physiology, your current emotional state, and it’ll become your record that you review later, okay?

Amandha: So your baseline is your day-to-day experiences, okay? Sort of like a morning to night kind of what’s going on in my day-to-day. Like, another exercise is what do I really want my health to look like? That’s your idea of future health. That’s good, but that’s not the goal of baseline. But that is something that we will be doing, is envisioning your ideal health as another exercise later in the series.

Amandha: And, you know, you could also say I remember when, you know, 10 years ago I had so much energy, I could do all this or whatever, and that’s fine, too. You know, you can say, “I was really active, I was doing well, and compared to now, I’m not.” But that was then, and this is now. So ultimately, we just want the factual record without judgment of where you are right now.

Amandha: And so all those baselines become part of the now. And then you will track those things of now on an ongoing basis, like sleep, right? I mean, sleep I know we talk about it, but it’s really underrated as how important it is. I mean, as a perimenopausal woman, I can attest that my sleep is challenged in this stage of life, and it becomes, something you have to work at, okay?

Amandha: To actually have a good night’s sleep without disturbances, right? Getting up to pee, something disturbing your sleep, the adrenals the cortisol, you know, going off at 3:00 AM, waking you up, stimulating you. You know, what time you wake up, your circadian rhythm, if you’re mouth breathing, if you’re sweating at night, you know, if you have, if you have a sleeping partner that kicks you or snores.

Amandha: Like, all of those things can affect the whole rest of your next day and days afterward, right? Like, sleep is so important. It’s our time of real deep healing, and if we want to heal, we really have to prioritize sleep. We really have to figure that out for ourselves, right? And that might be you do have a two-stage sleep, you know?

Amandha: Not everybody can sleep eight to 10 hours straight. That doesn’t mean you have to, right? There are different ways of sleeping, right? You can go to bed 8:00, 8:30. You might… Or this actually used to be a way of living where people would go to bed they would wake up at 1:00 in the morning and have social hour and have, and have time with each other for a couple hours, and then go back to bed, and wake up in the morning and have a work day.

Amandha: I mean, there’s all kinds of patterns, and again, this is individual medicine. You’re gonna find the right pattern for you. But ultimately, from the circadian rhythm point of view and what we know about it is very important to go to bed early and get up early because of the exposure of UV light on our bodies and the time clock that we have of the different sequence that our organs go through in a timely way which organs heal at certain times of day, and that’s a TCM, traditional Chinese medicine, time organ clock.

Amandha: You can actually find that organ clock online, and it shows you which organ systems are healing and most active at different times of day. And if we miss certain times of sleep, we actually can have less healing for those organs. It’s really important to get good sleep and to have good sleep hygiene and creating a personal health baseline is also documenting not just sleep, but your energy, right?

Amandha: How stable is it? Is it fluctuating throughout the day? How much fatigue are you getting at certain times? How you’re… What you’re eating, when you’re eating, are you exercising? You know, what happens after you have a stressful event? Your energy should be rated one out of 10, and you should see, especially during the beginning phase, try to touch in a few times a day and check how you’re feeling.

Amandha: Digestion is part of the… It’s a huge part of tracking, right? What you’re eating, how you’re… If you have any gas. You know what? We should never have gas. We should never be farty. If you’re farty and bloaty, there’s… You’re eating with improper combinations or having foods that absolutely your body does not want, 100%.

Amandha: Bloating and gas is not normal, okay? It means you’re fermenting improperly. You’re not, you’re not properly digesting. You’re having to go through specific fermentation, which is creating the gas, and that’s… We don’t wanna be there, ’cause that creates inflammation and some tissue damage, which will, you know, cause all kinds of cleansing responses and needs in those tissues.

Amandha: So, food sensitivities, of course. How often are you going to the… How many times I’ve asked people, “Did you poop today?” And they’re like, “I’m not sure.” What? You don’t remember if you had a poop today? Okay probably you should beware if you pooped ’cause you have to poop every day, okay? If you’re not pooping every day, there’s a problem, and if you’re not…

Amandha: Ideally, if you’re pooping every time you eat, like you should eat and poop, then eat and poop. That’s like the dream poop. That’s like the ideal way of life. You put… An input and an output at the same well, not maybe the identical same time, but like soon after you, right, you wanna release that.

Amandha: What’s the most best time for sleeping? The best time for sleeping is when the sun moves away from our realm, and moves away from you, and you don’t have any more UV exposure, and that can change depending on where you live, right? But in general, for the TCM clock, around 8:30, 9:00 o’clock, and definitely no later than 10:00 PM by bed.

Amandha: I would say ideally 9:00 o’clock in bed, maybe reading, doing some breathing exercises, whatever, putting on your magnesium and that kind of stuff, and then head hits the pillow by 9:30 do not be full of feces, exactly. Do not be full of feces. Yeah, I’ve made the joke that most people are full of S-H-I-T walking around out there.

Amandha: Nope, you don’t, and if, and if you don’t poop that day, then you gotta learn the skill of having an enema bag and just doing a home enema. We’ve really lost a lot of the skills of the home enema, right? That used to be a very common practice to do enemas at home and just make sure the bowels are cleared out because of autotoxicity.

Amandha: ‘Cause as it sits, the body has to constantly take energy to detox it and keep it where it is, and when you clear that out, you basically give yourself some more energy to use for other projects And then of course pain and discomfort should be marked down, right? And what, you know, whatever awareness you can if you’re having…

Amandha: Especially if you really are in pain manage it as best you can. This is why I talk a lot about dimethyl sulfoxide. This is why I talk about topical magnesium so much. This is why I talk about and promote coffee enemas. Those all help with pain tremendously. I already mentioned turmeric as one of them if you’re having a lot of inflammation, and there’s many more that can help you know, manage pain, like St.

Amandha: John’s Wort if it’s nerve pain, for example. And I have of course my peace cream, which is well-loved, it’s on the DMSO. Store website, for pain, and it’s combining arnica, St. John’s Wort, cannabis, and DMSO. And there’s also one called Good Night Dream Cream, which is for sleep, so it has magnesium and B vitamins for helping with sleep in it as well, and melatonin.

Amandha: So through your skin, ’cause DMSO carries through the skin, so you get the melatonin through your skin, the magnesium through your skin, and all of that. And well, if you have problems with home enemas and you have a little bit of extra cash, you can go to clinics that will run enemas for you as well.

Amandha: So there are other options. But I do not recommend colonics, by the way. I just don’t, because they’re really intense. Only rarely would I ever recommend that. Enemas are enough. And they’re very different things, so yeah. So like if I had a migraine that day, my before-bed routine like I would note down my pain how bad it was.

Amandha: I would be managing it through the day. There are certain things that I always knew to do, and then before bed I would be like head to toe magnesium and DMSO and my peace cream and then I would be able to sleep, because unfortunately whenever I would get these migraines, it was worse laying down, which really affected the restful sleep I could get, right?

Amandha: So all of those things, you learn about your condition and then can take measures after that. So noting mood and mental function. Women need to document menstrual history and pregnancy history and all of that information. And then once you have your baseline and you’ve assessed it, as I’ll show you through the system when we get there, it will…

Amandha: Your baseline will keep shifting. Your new– You’ll get a new baseline as you grow, as you change. And so every few months, you’ll track different progresses. See, this is the thing, like this is why it’s like this blossoming because, okay, I was working on this thing now I’m shifting. Now I’m not doing that supplement routine.

Amandha: I’m not doing that food regime. I’m doing this next. And why am I doing it? And what’s it for, right? When you have that, it’s very powerful ’cause you actually have a plan, and you know why you’re doing what you’re doing, and you can have these introspective points, these notes that will show you if you’re hitting your milestones.

Amandha: And then you can build, keep building on that just like, you know, build it, building a building of yourself. And so this is– becomes your usable record. So I have a handout that you’ll get in the master class called Creating Your Personal Health Baseline that will walk you through all of that I just said.

Amandha: All right, so journaling. Now this is where remember I was saying we’re taking the emotion out of it, we’re just trying to get facts and symptoms and track patterns, get to baseline. Well now, this next stage is the emotional side. This is the journaling for your insight, for your clarity. This is where you can get messy.

Amandha: So you can do this, there’s a million to one ways to do this, but the simplest way is in the morning, you just set one intention. Doesn’t matter what the intention is. Today I’m definitely gonna increase my water intake. I know I’ve been slipping on that. I’m going to pay attention to my hydration. I’m gonna see what foods I’m eating that are hydrating, and I’m gonna notice what foods I’m eating that are kinda drying.

Amandha: Right? I’m eating a lot of bread, I’m eating a lot of fried foods, or I’m eating a lot of fruit. Am I drinking juices? Am I having soups? Am I drinking herbal teas? Like, where are my are my, is my water intake coming into my day? Right? So that, you could just set one intention, and then in the evening you reflect on that intention.

Amandha: Well, did I? What did I notice? Oh yeah, I do… Actually, I’m not really that thirsty, or I only get thirsty at this time of day and I do like to drink my water tepid or cold, or I prefer it in teas da, da. This is how much coffee I drank, et cetera. Right? It’s really not writing pages and pages. You don’t need to keep doing that, but you can.

Amandha: You can. If you wanna get it out, you get it out. Right? The real purpose of this is just to start to create this pinpointed observational pattern. Right? Our memories are a mess, right? We can make mistakes, we forget stuff especially when you’re perimenopausal or got mom brain. mom brain and perimenopausal brain are like the same brain.

Amandha: We just, we just forget what’s in your own hand. Like, you can you’d have your phone in your hand and you’d be like, “Where’s my phone?” You know? Like that kinda stuff can happen. How are we supposed to remember all these things if we’re not writing them down? Okay. And this is just very simple. What’s my, what do I…

Amandha: I’m gonna be grateful today. My intention this morning is I’m gonna be more grateful today. My intention this morning is I’m going to, every person I see I’m gonna say one nice thing about them today. Right? My intention today is every time I feel like judging someone, I’m gonna correct it and judge them on a good thing.

Amandha: Like, mean, find something that they’re good about instead of judging them on a negative thing. I’m gonna find something good about them. Right? I’m gonna retrain the way I’m thinking. Just like that. In the evening, you just reflect. You could even write in a journal, “I did it.” Or you can That was pretty cool.

Amandha: I did remember to do it a few times, you know, and you can even get details about it if you want. You can get– you can go as crazy with it or as minimal with it as you wish. But again, it’s a pattern. You’re creating and setting up that you’re… Like, one thing I’ve, I’ve taught some– a lot of people how to use dreams for insight and information, and people are like, “Well, I never remember my dreams.

Amandha: I don’t remember my dreams.” Like, well, but did you, did you honor that mechanism and start to really focus on it? Because that’s how you start to remember your dreams, is you make it a priority. You make it something important, and then the body goes, “Oh, this is important. Okay, then we’re gonna start communicating with you like that,” right?

Amandha: It’s a muscle and I would say to people, “Okay, when you wake up in the morning, before you just pop out of bed or grab your phone or whatever, just lay there for a second and say, ‘Did I dream? Did I have a dream last night? I wonder if I had a dream last night.'” Even if you can’t remember a thing, just take out your journal and go, “Did I dream last night?

Amandha: I don’t know if I dreamed last night. Maybe I have a remnant, but I can’t really remember. Something tells me I might have dreamt, could have dreamt. I hope I dream tonight.” And just that’s it. And then go about your day. And then before going to bed that night, you go, “I would like to dream tonight, and I would like to remember my dreams.

Amandha: Please show me what I need to know through my dreams.” And ask. Ask and you shall receive. And then sleep, and each morning, repeat that process. Lay for a second. Did I dream? What did I dream? And if you do remember one, then it’s very important to write it down. Very important. I studied, one of my teachers in naturopathic college was my homeopathic professor, and he was a master at dream interpretation connected to homeopathic medicine.

Amandha: His name’s Dr. Christopher Soutan, and I have his book, and it’s, and it’s given me endless insights as well for what my dreams are trying to tell me about my health and my body. And I’ve had prophetic dreams my whole life. I’ve had really intense dreams that don’t even feel like I’m dreaming.

Amandha: I feel like I’m gone somewhere. So dreams have been very near and dear to me my whole life. Dreams have warned me about things. How I found out my partner was cheating on me is I had a dream that I was walking down a corridor, and at the end of the hall was a door, and I opened the door, and it, both of them were kissing behind.

Amandha: When I opened the door, they were standing there kissing, and they were shocked, and they were, “Oh,” like that, and then I woke up. And that was the only information in the dream, and then I went online, and I was, like, looking at some relationship videos about dreaming or about cheating rather, sorry, and then I went into the comment section.

Amandha: All of these videos on cheating, the partners so many people, when they ask, “How did you know that they were cheating?” “I had a dream.” A lot of people figured out their partners were cheating on them from a dream, and they were able to find evidence of the fact that they were cheating, right? So right there, just as an example, that is a real-world gift that you have, that you have knowledge inside of you that you are not accessing that can lead you to conclusions and fact and data and, like, physical information that could be very valuable and truthful for you, right?

Amandha: So honoring your dreams is extremely important. I don’t remember I’d have to look up The Dream Journal of Dr. Christopher Soutan. If I go and search right now, it might mess up the feed, but, Dream Therapy Workshop. I think if you do Dr. Christopher Souton, S-O-U-T-O-N Dream Therapy Workshop, it might, you might find a hit on the internet for him and he married one of my…

Amandha: He married one of my colleagues that was in my graduating class. It was a cute story. Okay, they had lots of kids. I think we’re… So journaling, I think we understand. So I will have a handout for the masterclass peeps, journaling AM and PM document, right? And but the morning intention is really setting a direction for your day, just like setting your dreams for the night, right?

Amandha: You it’s the same concept. My intention and my will is what I’m doing here. Actually, the entire, your entire existence is your will. It’s your contract with yourself. It’s your will. It’s your, it’s your… Everything that happens to you was designed by you. The way you look, the injuries you’re gonna have, the illnesses you’re gonna have, all of those things, your soul came up with the plan and said, «Here’s what I’m gonna do when I come down here.»

Amandha: And you’re… So nothing is by accident. Nothing is, like, needs any blame or shame. It’s because you were, you agreed that you would go through those specific challenges because they’re trying to hone you in the specific way that benefits your soul. So every challenge you’re facing, every hardship you’re facing, is actually something you chose and is for your benefit, your higher benefit, and that higher benefit is for the benefit of the divine.

Amandha: And we are in the most joy, bliss, and ultimate perfection as we go through this honing process, right? So to keep that in mind when we’re really going through it, is that there, it’s not for nothing. There is a reason for all of it. So making those conscious decisions by day, saying, «Yes, I’m gonna understand and learn why I was meant to go through this.

Amandha: I’m gonna get the insight of why. I’m gonna listen. Today, my intuition is going to show me little clues in my environment that are gonna give me a feedback loop in my body. It’s gonna give me information that’s gonna start to percolate the answer to what I need to solve this particular situation in my life, and I’m gonna pay attention.»

Amandha: Whether it’s a bird on a tree chirping in a certain way, whether it’s what happens if I go for a walk outside, what I see on the road, what I experience, the animals I come in contact with, who calls me, who thinks of me, who I think of, all of that is part of You’re collecting evidence and learning to trust yourself, because trust is the self, right?

Amandha: You can never really trust another because there’s no such thing. When you trust yourself, then that trust is comes outward into the world and you can trust, quote-unquote, others, right? Because I trust myself to know if someone is not trustworthy, right? I trust myself to know that whatever I’m going through is for our highest and best outcome, right?

Amandha: And as you get focused in, with insight and you start working on that and you, and you really make that promise to yourself, you will find this becomes a reliable system for you, and you will start to get, you will start to hear the other subtle realms, the other subtle energy giving you communication and information.

Amandha: And no doctor could ever give you that, ever, okay, so we kinda went through this away already with, like, okay, I know I should be doing more water, you know? I know I should go for a walk. I know I should be stretching my body. I know that I should be eating better. You know, most of us know the things we shouldn’t be doing, okay? And even if you are doing something that you know might have, like, a negative to it, you also might find positives to it.

Amandha: You can write down the negatives and the positives, and you can make a conscious decision whether you wanna continue that habit or not and how long you wanna continue it for, right? You know, I like to have a glass of wine with dinner because it relaxes me, and I get… I talk with my partner, and it’s part of our ritual, and it’s only, like, you know, one standard drink, and I don’t drink more than that or whatever, right?

Amandha: You will, might find, yeah, alcohol’s bad. Okay, good, but this one is, like, bringing me more connection with my partner or giving me more joy in this part of my life or whatever, and you can excuse certain… You know, you can get away with between 25 and 30% of not perfect, right?

Amandha: So you can have a little bit of wiggle room to have a little fun, but beyond that, then there’s usually suffering.

Amandha: So I’m just saying that there are things that you know you shouldn’t be doing, but you also can rationalize some of them. But don’t rationalize all of them. That’s the main thing, okay? And so get those small wins under your belt and then build on them and what happens with us perfectionists, if you have any knowledge about that or experience, we tend to go large, right?

Amandha: Large goals, has to be perfect, which means a lot of effort, a lot of consistency, right? And then we can easily come to failure and be disappointed in ourselves. So this is why it’s best to just do small, even imperfect actions, right? Even if they’re messy, just keep doing these little actions performed repeatedly, getting a momentum off of there and new ways of thinking, firing your brain. I think there’s a type of this. It’s firing your breath, but or you’re firing your brain, which are called neural nets. So neural nets have been documented, and the more you walk the same road, right, you make little divots in the road, and it, you know, when you’re forging a new path, there’s a little more input and energy that has to go into forging that path, but then you make a new network, right?

Amandha: So doing that five-minute habit every day is starting to build and becomes more valuable than, say, a huge, ambitious exercise plan that you, like, gotta go and get all that out. You gotta change your clothes and go here and drive there and da, da, da. It’s a whole thing. No. How about you just turn on YouTube to an exercise video, and you do that every day, 10 minutes, right?

Amandha: And even if you skip a day, it’s not the end of the world, and you’re not gonna be so hard on yourself. But if you keep… You know, if you buy a gym membership, and then you go one week, and then you stop going, then you’re gonna kick yourself and go, “Oh, I spent that money, da, da, da, da,” and that could be a downward spiral.

Amandha: So the consistency creates confidence, and then the confidence creates self-trust, and then self-trust creates good self-reliance, and that’s where we wanna get you to self-reliance, self-trust. I always know what I can do because I can always do these things. I always have this here and available to me.

Amandha: The self-discipline part, I don’t even like the word discipline really because it’s really self-loving part. It’s really about self-loving, right? And doesn’t your mood or whatever, it doesn’t matter. Even if you’re grumpy, do it. You know, some days you’ll feel more motivated than others. Some days you’ll be like, “Ugh,” but you’re just really gonna try to be consistent no matter what, and you’ll find that it’ll pay off, and it will build on itself.

Amandha: And all of this, all of this first principle is actually why it’s the first, is it applies to every area of your life, every area of health, every area could be down to how you, your social interactions, businesses and work and all these things. Because when you start to behave like this, you’re gonna not just get information and insights about your health, right?

Amandha: You’re gonna get insights about all kinds of things, and it’s going to spread to the bigger picture of your entire lifestyle, right and that’s why there’s so much value, and that’s why it’s the foundational principle or the first principle, is to know thyself and do the inner work. That’s very important.

Amandha: And then you learn to trust yourself, and you know you earned it, and it’s becomes very weighted, right? And this gives you the utmost potential for a very happy future in your life, a very healthy, happy future and it doesn’t take money. It doesn’t take a lot of effort. It just takes that little consistent pattern, and you can build from there thinking like your own health advocate is the result of the work, right?

Amandha: It, every time you feel fear and you wanna outsource, every time you’re not sure or confused, you know, every time that an issue, health issue comes up and you go into your old panic mode or whatever, right? Or you start to talk down about yourself, eventually all that work begins to prepare you to immediately start thinking from your own health advocate self rather than the external, what, who’s gonna help me?

Amandha: Who’s gonna save me? How am I gonna get out of this, right? And it does take some bravery but I’ll tell you, those who’ve gone through those situations or really intense situations and come through the other side, there’s nothing like it. I mean, it’s like your first time going to court and you challenge, you’re challenging the court and you win the case.

Amandha: It’s, there’s no other feeling like that because you stepped up and you did something that was scary. You felt the fear and did it anyway, you know? And there’s value that comes from that. And I mean, nobody knows you better than you, and yet we continually don’t consult with ourselves. You know what I mean?

Amandha: we’re lost, but we could easily be found because we’re right here, you know what I mean? We have access to ourselves. And we’re very blessed that we have agency. We haven’t lost our capacity, ’cause there are people who do lose their capacity, and they’re the ones who really need us the most because we’re, because those in those people in those positions do need us to help them, right?

Amandha: We need to be strong for those people. We can’t be, we can’t be sinking in the same ship, right? And it, but it’s right here. It is all right here. So, you don’t have to become passive. You can take active action and change those routines and have that self-reflective moment, and it will start to open for you and so thinking like your own health advocate is really asking a lot of questions, and there’s a whole section on as king, like asking as a king, like asking the correct questions of yourself or what are the questions that you need to ask of yourself.

Amandha: Like, these are part of my self-reflective course as well. Like, what do you really want, you know? And what is good for you, what’s good enough for you, and what’s ultimate for you know? And where is your line in the sand? Like, how much do you feel comfortable with? How much do you feel capable of?

Amandha: And then and then if you do want to offset your health, where you don’t feel confident or you don’t feel like you want to, maybe it’s a desire, you just don’t want to do it, you want to, you know, have different practitioners in your life, then you get to choose which practitioners do you want and for what reason, right?

Amandha: Like, do you want… Like, I have a chiropractor, for example. I use a chiropractor and an osteopath on a regular basis. Those are my health advocates. Those are the people I consult with for my health so that I can talk about my issues and get some feedback and have some support, right? So then you get to choose.

Amandha: It could be a TCM practitioner, right? It could be you go to take a class or something. All kinds of things, but you get to those answers by asking the questions as king and the answers that you get will give you the direction, right? Because how are you gonna make decisions if you don’t know your direction, right?

Amandha: So you have to know yourself, right, to even get to this place of destination, right? Once you know the self, you know that there’s a destination, then you have to get the directions to the destination and there’s also boundaries that may have to be put up. Maybe you have a situation with a family member and you need new boundaries, right?

Amandha: You have to be your own health advocate, meaning you have to stand up for yourself in those situations and say, “This is not good for me. I’m gonna say no to it. I’m lovingly saying, no, that’s not good for me,” right? That person in my life isn’t good for me. That situation in my life isn’t healthy for me, or it’s not healthy for me right now, right?

Amandha: Everyone that came into my store when I was open to the public, and everyone that came into my store, and everyone that came to me for a health consultation, they always not always, but the majority of them were like, “I’m fed up. I’m done. Like, I’ve suffered enough. I hate it. I don’t want it anymore.

Amandha: I’m done,” right? They went through all of these different permutations until they finally said, “Enough Or they went to a doctor, and then the doctor took them to a specialist, and the specialist went to another specialist, and then they did this drug cocktail, and that didn’t work and then they went back to the doctor, and then to another specialist, and then they had imaging, and then they had different drugs, and that didn’t work, and they just got so fed up that they walked into my door and they’re like, “There’s a different way, and I want it.”

Amandha: It’s this, “I’m done.” So you get to this decision-making when you become your own health advocate. You’re like, “I’m taking the reins here, okay? I am not sleeping like crap anymore. I am not doom scrolling all day while neglecting myself. It’s not… I’m not doing it anymore.” I got… You get to the point where it’s over, right?

Amandha: And you kinda… When you get to that bottom line, it’s kind of a sea change where, hey, now here’s the system. Okay, you wanna change? Here you go. Here’s where you start. Here’s what you do. You wanna make those shifts? I just through this presentation, I just gave you the starting point. This is where you begin.

Amandha: This is what you start to do. You don’t need to listen to podcasts and fill your head with all kinds of different opinions about different drugs and methods and symptoms and philosophies. You don’t need to go there. that’s not for now. The now is the you and the knowing yourself and understanding where you’re coming from, and then that’s for later.

Amandha: In my learning module isn’t until the third, the second set, right? There’s 12, and they’re broken down into four subsections. That’s not into subsection two, and we’re really getting into any type of, you know, health philosophy. And most of it’s just undoing false germ theory anyway So, you know, this is your process, and it is very connected to your self-worth.

Amandha: And when you value yourself, then your health becomes worthy of your time, your effort, your attention. You wanna put resources into it. It’s going somewhere, right? You will be more willing to put the energy into preparing proper meals and spending time, you know, introspective or learning certain things, or creating that routine for your health and your exercise routine, right?

Amandha: So you’re not gonna become a know-it-all. That’s not the point. The point is learning how to learn and asking better questions of yourself and gathering that data, participating in the decisions, right? Instead of handing your agency over to a doctor that says, “If you don’t do this, you’re gonna die.”

Amandha: Can you imagine saying that to someone?

Amandha: I think that’s disgusting. “If you don’t take this drug, you’re gonna die.” Really? That’s your healthcare. That’s your… That’s what you wanna hear? Like, who are these people? How dare anyone ever tell you that if you don’t take a poison pill, you’re gonna die. What a disgusting model. Why do we want that? We don’t want that, right?

Amandha: You wanna participate in the decisions for your body. In a world that’s trying to take away more and more of our freedoms, health freedom now is even more important than ever before because it can change the entire way that we interact with our reality. So if a doctor or a lettered agency tries to tell us what we should do with our bodies, what we should be putting in our bodies, what we should be cutting out of our bodies or whatever, we can immediately say, “No, thank you.

Amandha: I don’t do that, and I don’t want to do that, and my children aren’t doing that.” And that will change the entire future, right? Because that’s a boundary, and we’re not going to allow others to dictate that to us anymore. So as a summary, health sovereignty begins with observation, self-observation, and it grows through self-trust.

Amandha: It develops further when you become an active participant in your own care Every skill you develop moving forward builds upon this foundation. It is your kingdom or queendom. So here’s the holistic self-assessment course I’ve been referring to. This is where you can get it on my Yummy. Doctor website.

Amandha: If you’re interested in getting ahead of things now or if you need more guidance and you wanna get started right away, then it can very much help you and guide you in your path while we set up the next set of foundations. So that’s available today. Here are my websites again, just a summary of what I’ve built and the different sort of ways we had to section off the store.

Amandha: Everything used to be under Yum Naturals but then DMSO got hot, so DMSO. Store was born. It just protects us. Everything is a PMA, therefore you need a login to access all my websites except for HealingWithDMSO. com cause that’s just a summary of my book.

Amandha: But you do need to make free accounts for all of them because it protects our privacy.

Amandha: So everything’s behind that wall and this is my book here. Many of you already have it and know about it. It’s very handy guide, and it’s used often and well-loved, and it is a bestseller, which is amazing, and it even went into hard copy. You can buy a hard copy. I just wanna say that there are a few unfortunate rip-off artists that have stolen my book.

Amandha: They have stolen… Like, they didn’t even change the front. They literally ripped off the art and the name of my book and just put their name on it and sell it on Amazon, so just be careful of fraudsters and plagiarists out there. Unfortunately, my publisher and Amazon will do nothing about the problem, which already shows you that our world is descending into a form of chaos, that we need to take agency and take control over our lives because the world out there is losing it, right?

Amandha: Because if we don’t have rule of law anymore that makes sense, that means it’s going to continue to degrade and the totalitarian controllers are just gonna keep having to make up more and more and more rules and laws until we just don’t wanna do… We’ll become completely lawless. That’s where that ends.

Amandha: When the end of an era, the end of a civilization that’s… The evidence that we are in the nearing an end of a certain era is when this happens, when you cannot get protection over certain things, when the laws don’t work for you anymore, and when more and more new laws get made that are crazier and crazier.

Amandha: Yeah, that when the scammers are winning and the corrupt have infiltrated the gates- then it’s over because they just keep manipulating the law to their own benefit, and they don’t care about the people anymore. So that’s when we know we’re in the end times. But the ends mean beginnings, and that’s where what we’re gonna be ready for, that’s where we’re heading toward, is the new beginning.

Audience Q&A: Applying Observation to Health Questions

Amandha: So I thank you very much for your time, your attention, for listening, and we will take some questions now. There… I see there’s about 10 starred. I’m gonna try to keep it on topic. If it’s too off-topic and you have a health question, I highly recommend that you join Yummy. Doctor. It’s very affordable.

Amandha: I do this all the time. I’m answering questions all the time about health but again, I’m always trying to guide you to the information rather than just blanket answer it for you, because I’m trying to train you into this kind of thinking and that’s why Yummy. Doctor is there for you, and I always suggest that to check the library first for your condition and then afterward go through and just do a wide search in Yummy. Doctor.

Amandha: There’s searches on every page and every subgroup. We have one of the best search engines running in Yummy. Doctor. You can search for everything. It’ll come up, all the discussions in groups, all the discussions on pages all the articles and videos will all come up with your searches. So just really learn the back office of the system, and we are always improving it.

Amandha: We will be improving all websites very soon, and we’re always growing. We’re actually in the process of changing everything into our own servers now because we had to… we grew too much for the servers we were using, and we had to actually rebuild, build our own servers and change everything over.

Amandha: We’re still in the changeover from a couple of the websites but we… But pay attention to that ’cause we will be continually improving it and growing as we have been for the last few years with Yummy. Doctor. If exposed to mold or mycotoxins in a water damage building and is breathed in, how do you explain that? These have invaded one’s body, making a cell, how to get rid of this, whatever the…

Amandha: Okay. So what’s happening with… You kind of said it there. See mycotoxin, right? So a mycotoxin, so the mold is not the problem, okay? The mold is not the disease or the cause of the problem. What’s happening in buildings is we’re using toxic building materials, and when they get water damage, they begin their process of degeneration, and when anything like food, materials, whatever, when anything starts to degenerate or break down back to Mother Earth, then there is a process by which those things break down.

Amandha: Depending on the toxicity of said thing, there are all kinds of different biochemical methods or manners or different helpers that have to get involved to break that thing down based on the environment that it’s in, okay? So in a household with drywall perhaps, or carpet or insulation, these synthetic chemicals take very specific types of or attract specific types of mold or bacteria or whatever that will break those down given the environment that it’s in.

Amandha: So it’ll be different types of mold for different kinds of substances and environments. And what happens is now we have a breakdown process happening inside of our houses, and this is creating gases and is creating, like, particulates that are dangerous to our health, and you could just call them poisons.

Amandha: They’re literally things that our bodies do not know how to metabolize, are not meant to metabolize, aren’t meant to have inside of us And we react to them because the body says, “No, this can’t be here. We don’t have the mechanism to get rid of them or we don’t have the bandwidth to get rid of them, or we are telling you that this is dangerous.

Amandha: We’re giving you signs and symptoms to tell you that you need to stay away or there’s something wrong,” and it will produce symptoms to tell you that information. The mold itself is doing no harm to you. The mold itself is not a problem to your body or to you. What’s happening is the breakdown products of the mold are harming and harmful to you, so the mycotoxins, the breakdown products, and the gases are affecting your health negatively, not the mold itself.

Amandha: The mold is doing no harm to you. The mold is just doing its job. There are molds that are doing certain lineages or pathways of breakdown that are very advantageous to our bodies, and then there are other molds that are doing different breakdown chemical processes that our bodies are unfamiliar with that we don’t want in our bodies that could even kill us, right?

Amandha: So that’s the difference. That’s understanding. Like, we eat moldy cheese, right? Mold is amazing. Mold is breaking down things for us so that they are actually ingestible for us, or they’re breaking down something that we should not be ingesting because those are poisons to our body. So there’s no germ theory that’s required here to explain the toxicity and the symptoms and the issues of when you are in a house with materials that are breaking down Okay, next question.

Amandha: How does one apply the principles of observation with a symptom that has been chronic for many years, tinnitus? Well, the first thing to be, like say, okay, I’ve had tinnitus for this many years. Well, you’re gonna write down, okay, it happened around July of, you know, 2024. Like, I remember that I had a really stressful kind of…

Amandha: What happened in July 2024? What happened in that year, right? Yeah, I remember these events. I remember, you know, this was a stressful time or stressful moment, or it was going through perimenopause, or that’s when it started, or whatever was happening around that time, right? I had my neck adjusted, and my neck was off for a long…

Amandha: ‘Cause neck being a problem, like any, you know, tightness of the muscles of the neck subluxations of the neck, inflammations in the spine can lead to tinnitus, right? And there are many causes of tinnitus. And so you would go and say, “What do I think it’s related to?” Because what’s the correlation that happened around that time?

Amandha: Or did I have a neck injury, or was I sleeping strangely, or did I get perimenopause or, you know, or did I go to a really super loud concert, or what was the moment that I think it kinda set it off? So that’s all you’re doing in the self-reflection, even if it’s a chronicity, right? Doesn’t matter if it’s something acute or chronic, you’re still trying to pair it back to an event.

Amandha: And then once you go through the training, you’ll immediately know… I have a tinnitus protocol as well available on the website, a course, a protocol course, so it’s more involved. And it helps you to go, what kind of tinnitus is it? There’s all… There’s pulsatile tinnitus, there’s different kinds of tinnitus.

Amandha: And how did… What kind do I have, and what do I think it’s related to for what’s been happening with the health of my body, right? And so was it from noise? You know, you know, was I a drummer? Like, my brother had tinnitus for a long time that he suffered with, and he was a guitar player who went to really loud concerts, like, all through his life.

Amandha: So we already… We can pretty much come to the conclusion that his is from auditory damage, right? So he had some deafness with tinnitus as well, right? So that’s a correlation. That’s like a cluster, right? If you have deafness with tinnitus, well, then that’s a cluster, right? But if it’s, like it’s just sudden onset, and is it worse in one ear than the other?

Amandha: You know, when is it better and when is it worse? Those are really important questions to ask. Like, when does it feel better or I’m not noticing it? Have… Is my brain adjusted to the sound, so I’m not really paying much attention to it anymore? ‘Cause at the beginning, it’s really remarkable, and then your brain adjusts, and you don’t notice it the same way.

Amandha: So, yeah. It’s all the same. The charting doesn’t matter if it’s a newer symptom or a labor symptom to you, what is the significance of left versus right, feminine, masculine, yin, yang, hot, cold? All of that. Dominance usually. Like, one side we dominate usually one side or the other, right? And that can give us a lot of feedback and information about If there’s muscles we’re overworking or overusing, and be like a whole ergonomic aspect of left versus right.

Amandha: But it also, When you get into certain kind of case taking, like when you’re looking at energetics left and right tend to be… Well, when I started looking at it more was about traditional Chinese medicine as a left and right kind of yin yang aspect, and also homeopathy. When you’re doing homeopathy intake, you always ask sidedness, because it can dictate the it can dictate the remedy, right? For example, belladonna is a right-sided remedy, so it tends to be symptoms that fit that remedy tend to be right-sided, or right-sided more headache you know, right-sided flushing more, you know, right-sided pain, whatever, or intensity. And it can give you just another kind of connection point.

Amandha: Like, if everything is leaning on one side or the other, it can it can give either correct homeopathic remedy, it can give you information about meridians. If it’s right-sided, it could be one organ versus the other organ, right? If it’s left-sided pain versus right-sided pain, especially on the abdomen, it can describe the organs that are involved.

Amandha: It can give you a lot of information. And as well with our lymphatic system, our lymphatic system is mostly left-sided, like left-owned. Right-sided is one quarter, left side is three quarters of the lymphatic system, right? It can really be a big difference obviously. Right-sided breast cancer versus left-sided breast cancer are usually very different causes, right?

Amandha: Right-sided breast cancer tends to be very liver related more so, liver toxicity related. And left-sided tends to be more lymph related, right? So there’s these kinds of… As you go, you can kind of… You’ll get more information about noticing whether it’s left or right and what organ structures and then meridians that they’re connected to, and the bigger picture.

Amandha: And yeah, you could look at feminine, masculine, but I don’t real- like when we’re really trying to take practical cases, I don’t really find that, you know, left is feminine, right is masculine kind of thing gives me much, you know, as far as like a diagnosis or a directive, right? Is, but really it’s just about structure underneath and what’s happening that way.

Amandha: Do you feel there is no hopelessness even for those of us with mRNA vaccine injuries? yeah, I do because first of all, you can heal a lot, way more than you realize. There’s a lot of healing that you can employ for yourself, you know, that there’s a lot of beliefs around it. There’s a lot more power that you have that you can overcome it, you know?

Amandha: And to not let it be like a death sentence or like, you know, where you’ve just given up because obviously if you wrote the script, then there was an agreement that you must have made to go through what you’re going through, right? And if you just accept that and just own it, like, just like my spiritual teachers say, “Just own your caca.”

Amandha: Own your caca. If you just own it, like I made a mistake and it, or I didn’t, I didn’t make a mistake. I’m actually supposed to go through this, therefore there’s an empowerment piece here. There’s a teacher- teachable moment here. There’s something I’m supposed to get out of this, and I will figure it out.

Amandha: Then that becomes your focus. That becomes something that you’re working toward, a goal that you’re working toward in your life. And I promise you, if you focus your goals like that and you do those manageable steps and you do it in a very self-trusting, self-loving way, you will always find your answer one way or another.

Amandha: You will always find it. Because that’s the whole point. The whole point is to get you to be in that space to do that, right? Because of how it opens up the rest of your life and the benefits that come on a soul growth level, because we’re just souls in a body having a soul growth experience. Do you recommend lymphatic massages?

Amandha: I do. I think that finding a really good lymphatic massage practitioner is wonderful. I would say I’m actually writing a blog article on lymphatic drainage right now, which has been taking me many months ’cause it’s really big. But, It’s one of the things that if you can afford it and if you think that you really have, you know, some lymph problems that have been causing you issue, then it’s very valuable.

Amandha: So, it’s worth it, but it’s not the only thing that I would recommend. If you already know you have lymph issues, then a lymph massage, you know, say once a month isn’t really gonna turn the corner on your condition, but it’s one of those pieces of the puzzle as a health detective, that you would put in to go, “Yes, this is part of the health picture that I wanna create.

Amandha: Like, I’m gonna definitely do the Big Six tapping. I’m gonna dry brush. I’m gonna do contrast hydrotherapy, and I’m gonna go once a month for a lymph massage. I’m gonna stay hydrated, and I’m gonna sweat regularly. That’s my plan, and that’s what I’m gonna do, and this is how it’s gonna look.” Right? So you can have the practitioner as part of your health picture, of your goal.

Amandha: And your goal is, you know, I have these symptoms. Out of 10, they’re rated, and this is how I’m going to tackle it. You know, maybe I need cleavers tea. Maybe I need you know, some sort of other homeopathic. Maybe I need lycopodium. Maybe I need something else that is moving and mobilizing my lymph better than I have it, right?

Amandha: All of these things can be part of that. And I’m gonna do this for three months, or I’m gonna do this for six months. I’m gonna reassess at that point how my, how did my baseline change from there, and I see my improvements. I see my skin health. I see, you know, cellulite’s gone down, or I see all of these things.

Amandha: I feel better. I’m sleeping better. I’m pooping better, whatever. All the outcomes, you’re like, “I’m on the right path. I did the right thing. I think I’ll continue it for another couple of months,” or I’m gonna reassess, and like, “I don’t really need the massage therapist anymore, and I’m gonna reduce the amount of saunas I’m doing or something,” or, “I’m going to, you know, not take hot and cold showers right now cause it’s winter and it’s uncomfortable,” or whatever you’re…

Amandha: Right? So then you readjust your protocol to more of a maintenance protocol as opposed to one that’s very targeted, and that’s how you, that’s how you grow as you learn how to apply all of these things because there’s a gazillion remedies that you could do. There’s a there’s a million programs. There’s a million…

Amandha: Right? There’s endless amounts. This is the thing that I say about doctors, what a joke they are, because they, they miss out on the plethora of protocols and supports and remedies that we have that are elegant, that are available to us. So many we could never name them all in, like, a short amount of time, right?

Amandha: But they deny like all of them except their really limited, you know, potions. And that’s all within your control and your choice and what you kinda, how you wanna tackle it. If that works for you know, in all the ways that it can and with all the health advantages, maybe even just getting outside and going to someone and having that conversation and sharing that information is as valuable as the massage itself for you.

Amandha: And you may go, “I think I will, you know, keep the massage in my health plan,” you know? Here’s the things that are working for me, I feel, and here’s the things that are not working for my lifestyle right now. I’m gonna stick to this, right? That’s really the self-responsibility that we’re looking for. “Do you give any sort of certificate on the completion?

Amandha: 12-step courses seems to be important for clients to see.” absolutely. There will be a full certificate course. Basically, it’s broken up into this. So there’s 12 main modules broken into four subsections, and the last module, okay the 10, 11, 12, is not obligated.

Amandha: That is the certification point. There’s two certification points is what I’m saying. When you complete one through seven, basically, is one section, is the, is basic training and that will have its own certification. But if you also finish the last module or the last section, that will have more of a training certificate associated with it, and I’ll describe that when we get there.

Amandha: But that’s if you want to become a health advocate inside Yummy. Doctor. So what we’ll have is, so members who say they need some guidance, they need some coaching, some support, then there’ll be a list of trained practitioners from my system that are in the website, and they can click and see profiles and go to any one of those practitioners and hire any of you to be like a coach, to be an advocate for them.

Amandha: I’m really kind of looking toward less coachy, more advocate wording that can assist them with their process as they go through the 12 steps and as they also… Or they just want to have some sort of direction and support cause it’s not that fun to do it alone. It’s good to have people, and the whole point of this is, like, reaching out to community and having, like, building community and building connection, right?

Amandha: And that’s part of it. And so yes, absolutely the… And I would only allow someone who had passed the tests and gone through the certification to be part of that system anyway. So there’ll be a whole kind of section there when that comes next year speaking of dry brushing, how should we fit it into the day?

Amandha: Is it good before a shower and then do the magnesium spray after a shower, for example? That works. Now consider this, when you dry brush, it’s you’re mobilizing, right? So you’re mobilizing waste. So ideally now you can do it any time of day, but ideally it’s best to do it in the morning when you, when you’re starting to get hydrated cause you do dehydrate when you sleep naturally.

Amandha: You just get dehydrated because you’re sleeping and evaporating as you’re sleeping and what you do is you get up, you know, drink your water, do your ablutions, and then do your dry brushing then, because in the morning once you get… You’re starting to get everything mobilized and moved, and you’ll begin drainage.

Amandha: And then you’ll have, you know, your breakfast and whatever you do in the morning, and it should encourage a bowel movement at that point, hopefully. Like, that’s the goal, so that you’re draining extra, you know, swelling or bloat right after you do that movement and it’s, it’s, it’s the morning wake up.

Amandha: It’s a morning stimulation wake, like wake up, you know? So morning is the best time ultimately, and you can do it after a shower is nice to do. You could do it before or after a shower. That’s also fine. But when you’re really warm and kinda still sweating, that you might… The brush might get kinda gooey, so it’s sort of better to do it on, like, more really dry skin.

Amandha: You can have another shower brush and do a wet sort of brushing in the shower as well. And then yes, absolutely you can put your magnesium on afterward. No problem Okay, so I think we’re gonna wrap up. I think we did really good for time. I was trying to do two and a half hours, and we went a little over, but that’s usual for me to go over.

Amandha: But I really thank you very much for, you know, really dedicating your thinking and your time and, like, sort of feel- feeling called into what I’m teaching and showing and why it’s important and just for being here from, like, for the beginning of it. You know, it’s kind of exciting. We’ll get to look back on this you know, in a year’s process ’cause really every three weeks a webinar and a masterclass, by the time we get all the way through to the 12th one, we’ll be, like, a full year out, and then I’m gonna wrap that up as the whole certification course, and then that’s gonna get going too.

Amandha: So we’re really getting there, and I’m really happy that I’m building what I set out to build. I’m creating what I always felt in my heart that I was here to bring, I was here to do, and it’s been a long time coming, right? It’s been a whole journey for me to get to this point. I’m gonna be 52 soon, and I’ve, you know, I’m finally getting to this place where it’s it’s realistic and it’s reasonable and it’s the right timing for it.

Amandha: So I feel very blessed that I was able to come to this point in time in my life where I’m able to share this with you and be, you know, your guide in this and support you through what you’re going through and just try to, you know, remind you that everything is all is good, all is well, and everything that you’re going through has a reason and a purpose, and you’re, you’re important.

Amandha: You matter. In fact, every soul, you know, without every soul, none of us would be here. Like, every unique soul is here for the gloriness the glory of what we are, the blessing of what we are. So just remember that as you walk in your day. And please, if you haven’t become a Yummy. Doctor member yet, I highly recommend that.

Amandha: It’s really supportive. We’re really growing. There’s, like, you know, so many wonderful things we’re learning and exploring and helping each other with and yeah, we’re just gonna keep moving forward despite the roadblocks. If you’re in the US just make sure when you go to the Yum Natural store or DMSO store that you click on USA eligible products, ’cause all those have to be approved now by the warmongers at the border.

Amandha: And but most of my handmade stuff can get through, which is really great. And yeah, so just choose correctly. And also if you’re Canadian and you are purchasing on the site even though it’s in US dollars, always remember that there’s a, an adjustment that’s done at checkout, so it gives you the discount to balance out the exchange.

Amandha: So that you know. So thank you very much. Love you lots. Appreciate you tons, and hopefully we’ll see you at the master class. Maybe we’ll see you on my live events. And but hopefully we’ll see you again soon. Okay. Thank you very much. Bye for now.
