Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!

People ask me all the time - does red light therapy work, or is it just a gimmick? I use red light therapy on aching body parts, mostly for hypermobility symptoms, every single day.

I have a post on my Instagram with all the research I've done on the topic.

There's a version of me that used to think my sensitivity towards sound, lights, crowds, and textures was just me being ‘dramatic ’-but when I actually invested in products that would ground me, bring my shoulders down, and allow my body to release the angst it chronically held--- I never second-guessed the hypersensitivity again. I found a handful of small, physical things that actually work and feel like hugs. Weight. Sound turned down. Something to hold. This list is that — not a fix, just what I reach for when my nervous system gets stressed or when I feel overwhelmed.
