In season 3 finale (Episodes 8 and 9), Ramey reflects back on her journey to form her unique Health Strategy.

She now understands health in a whole new way. The key ingredient is noticing.

In Episode 9, Ramey completes her Health Strategy consult, and reflects on all the components that inform her health now and in the future. 

She understands the power and value she brings to her health through balancing lifestyle, relationships, and nutrition.

Ramey gains confidence on how to tap into her best medicine.

She draws from what she needs, whether it's Western or Eastern medicine, and she plans to use more self-care methods.

Season 3 is a narrative that was born from the inspiration that my mother started. She was also the number one fan who supported me to think outside the healthcare box and ask questions.

Christina was the pioneer who offered new ideas about healthcare before people were ready to hear them. 

But I think you're ready to hear them now.

Health Strategy at Third Opinion MD is about manifesting a quiet revolution in healthcare. I’m continuing a family legacy to spark a wave of change in the way we practice medicine, how you can care for yourself, and how you can navigate the healthcare system. 

It’s about searching inward for your strength, discovering your innate ability to heal, and expanding the window to be in charge of your health again. 

So, here's to my mom. Episodes 8 and 9 were published on the 15-year anniversary of her death, but she will live on with what we do together.

My client, Ramey, reached a point where she wanted to go deeper than that with the Health Strategy Consult program. Season 3 is about pulling the curtain back so you can learn the process with Ramey on how to form a unique health strategy.

Imagine a healthcare system where you actually matter. Not just the symptom you walk in with, but who you are as a person, the struggles you face, your family legacy, your family secrets. Imagine all of these things matter. 

In the season 3 finale, Episodes 8 and 9 reveal Ramey’s layers of family history in the context of relationships and identity. By looking backward, Ramey moves forward with the knowledge and confidence to form her own Health Strategy.

In Episode 8, Ramey takes a deeper dive on how people and events influenced her life experience and identity.

No one lives in a vacuum.

Family diseases, events and relationships contribute to your emotional and physical states of health. 

The word, Genogram, is just a fancy term for a family tree that maps out who you belong to and some basic patterns of these relationships. 

Genograms include biological and legal members of a family, but they can also include pets, friends, and other relationships. They reveal clues about family secrets and mythology, since families usually modify what is painful or embarrassing in their history.

You draw from your point of view as the key person at the center of the map, going back at least two generations and forward to your children and grandchildren.

I use genograms with my clients as a building block to fully know who they are in their environment. 

With context, there is meaning.

With reflection, there is growth and potential for healing.

Sometimes good medicine is so simple that people don’t even try it. In Episode 7, Ramey is prepared to practice a powerful self-care tool for emotional balance called EFT. When you learn to become a systems thinker, becoming healthier is not only possible, you believe in yourself again.

Be sure to also listen to Episode 6 on Ramey’s preparation for this transformative tapping experience.

Ramey has years of experience in therapy, as a teacher, and now working in the healthcare system. She reached a place in her life when she was ready to develop her Health Strategy, including a cultivation of mental and emotional well-being.

After her first experience with a tapping technique called, EFT, Ramey said:

“I just feel like this is just more immediate and just something I can immediately take in. And it's not a pill and it's not something that's going to have some side effect. It's for me, and it's also made by me… I'm part of it too.”

My client, Ramey, as she states it best, wants to avoid the “hamster wheel” of “therapy, pills, therapy, pills.”

There’s so much more to mental health treatment than just medications and therapy. There are so many amazing and dedicated people in the mental health field, but they can only treat so many people at a time. The healthcare system is fragmented and rewards specialists over prevention and self-care.

The best person to get off the hamster wheel between meds and therapy is You.

Based on the current healthcare system, it might seem normal that trauma is permanent, that everyone has to suffer if they've had trauma, or that it takes years of therapy and medications to relieve the suffering. 

But seeing and hearing are not always believing.

You have the freedom to take care of your health according to what’s best for you. It’s time to build back the resilience and the strengths in your system. Your body, mind and spirit have powerful tools to do that.

And one of the ways to access these tools is through tapping. 

My client, Ramey, reached a point where she wanted to dig deeper to find more health solutions through the Health Strategy Consult program at Third Opinion MD.

Season 3 is about pulling the curtain back so you can learn the process with Ramey on how to form a unique Health Strategy.
