Ah, sleep - that beautiful yet elusive friend that we know we need but often neglect. In a world that celebrates hustle and grind, sleep is sometimes treated like a luxury rather than the essential, life-giving, and downright magical process that it is. Let’s dive into why sleep is a vital part of the body’s natural rhythm and why no pill or power nap can fully replace it.

We live in a culture that glorifies the hustle, often at the expense of our health and well-being.

Your health journey is personal and sacred. It’s not about what worked for an influencer or what’s trending online; it’s about what works for you. Partnering with a Herbalist provides support in your wellness journey that is as unique as you are. You become empowered, not influenced.

I know what it feels like to have a healthcare professional glance at your chart and reduce you to a single word: “fat.” To dismiss your concerns without even glancing at your labs, as if your size is the sole determinant of your health. We all deserve better. 

In today's hustle culture, sleep is often seen as a luxury, something we squeeze in after we’ve finished all the “important” work of the day. The grind of modern life and the pressure to do more, achieve more, and hustle harder have made sleep seem almost optional. But this mindset is a thinking error—a dangerous one that disconnects us from our natural rhythms and our ability to heal.

In today's fast-paced, modern capitalistic society, we're conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our productivity. As an entrepreneur, I understand this pressure all too well. The drive to succeed, to push forward without a break, took a toll on my health—and I’ve seen it do the same to many of my clients. We’re taught to hustle, grind, and push through—often at the expense of our well-being.

Who would have thought being a high achiever and driven person who wants to do so much to help others could have such an impact on my body?!? Surely not this girl...but here we are.

Over the years, running at full speed and frequently overdrive has physically taken a toll on me. Not overnight, but slowly and then to the point where it's smacked me hard. One of the benefits of working from home is only those who love you know the real struggle, and most days, you can drag yourself through the bare minimum without others knowing.

What is the Vitalist Tradition?

So, let's start with the basics. The vitalist tradition is all about the vital force—the life energy that flows through every living being. Imagine it as your inner spark. This approach sees our bodies as dynamic, self-healing systems that just need a little support to work their magic. Unlike the usual methods that often just deal with symptoms, vitalism dives deep to address the root causes and promotes overall well-being.
