Prepare the body to respond
Return to the Ground Your Body Knows…
Foundations of Real Health.
Before protocols.
Before supplements.
Before doing more.
There is a place to begin that brings the body back into order.
Foundations is a physician-guided audio course designed to restore the essentials.
Air, water, food, breathing, and your environment quietly influence how your body functions and how supported it feels.
When these basics are in place, the body can regulate and respond more easily.
Short audio guidance • Self-paced • Designed for real life
“When the foundations are in place, the body responds with far less effort”
—Dr. Michele Burklund
Nothing works if the basics aren’t right.
You can try supplements, routines, and treatments…
but, if your sleep, stress, and daily rhythm are off, your body can’t respond.
This course starts with the foundations everything else depends on.

Class Outline
INTRODUCTION
-
Laying the foundation:
I will explain what this class is all about, who it is designed for, how it can help you, and what to expect along the way.
-
Let’s get to know each other better...
I will share my story of how I became a doctor, my deep passion for medicine, and why I want you to do this program with me.
-
Root cause medicine.
If we listen to our symptoms, we can figure out where we are out of balance, and then support our body and aid the healing process to regain optimal health once again. On the flip side, blocking, ignoring, or eradicating signs and symptoms will often additionally compromise the your health and recuperative ability.
ON THE INSIDE
-
Learn to listen to what your skin is telling you.
Whether it’s stress, food, or something deeper... your skin will give you a sign.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, covering 22 square feet, on average. The skin also acts as a mirror for overall health.
Have you ever noticed dark circles under your eyes when you don’t get enough sleep, blemishes cropping up when you’re stressed, or dull, dry skin when you aren’t eating right?
That’s the skin providing a physical manifestation of what’s happening within your body.
-
Get the tools to know exactly what is in your products and how to evaluate them yourself.
Do you really know what you’re putting onto your face and body?
I will deep dive into the shady marketing practices of skincare companies, what ingredients you must avoid, and how to find clean products that are safe for your skin and body.
MIND, BODY, & SPIRIT
-
Clear your thoughts.
We live our lives based on our beliefs that we have acquired from our youth and our personal experiences. Overtime, these beliefs can become “truths”. Some of these beliefs are helpful for us and other beliefs can limit our potential.
Do you believe you deserve health?
Do you believe that you can change your life?
-
Be one with the Earth.
Getting ourselves closer to the earth is a simple way to feel more grounded and relaxed. We are made up of 60% water which makes us great for conducting electricity. The earth has a negative ionic charge and when we go barefoot are bodies are able to ground that charge.
Negative ions are proven to detoxify, calm, reduce inflammation, and even synchronize our internal clocks, hormonal cycles, and physiological rhythms.
-
The Ancient Practice.
Hydrotherapy certainly isn’t a new type of treatment since it was first documented as far back as the 5th century B.C, but it is having a revitalization.
Hydrotherapy is essentially the use of water (hot or cold, ice or liquid) to treat and heal the body of aliments.
I’m going to discuss how you can use water to treat different conditions and to revitalize your being, to integrate water features into your daily life, and to remember the deep intelligence that water carries within all of us.
YOUR SANCTUARY
-
Your home is your sanctuary…
Most people don’t realize the chemicals they are exposed to on a daily basis, especially inside their own home. In this lesson, you will evaluate your own home and learn ways to make your home into a safe, clean living space.
-
Comprehensive Kitchen Evaluation
You might go to all this effort to eat organic and buy clean ingredients, but what if your cookware and practices is adding more toxins to your food?
ON THE OUTSIDE
-
Learn how to consciouly grocery shop
What is real food anymore?
Does it mean natural?
Does it mean organic?
Does it just mean from the earth?
-
Find the balance & listen to your digestion.
The gut microbiome is home to roughly 5 pounds of bacteria, which means we have more microorganisms in our body than we do our own cells (10 times as much).
Many foods and things affect our microbiome. The health of our microbiome is directly related to our immune function, our mood, and our energy level.
-
There’s a difference.
The supplement industry has little regulations which is very alarming considering how many people use them on a daily basis. The latest studies coming out on supplement safety are revealing the huge gap in regulation and quality standards.
As a doctor, I always ask my patients what supplements they are currently taking and the brand. I only trust supplement companies that allow their products to be tested by outside agencies and have trusted suppliers for their ingredients.
RITUALS & SACRED PRACTICES
-
Transform your day.
Creating a morning ritual gives you time to focus on YOU and what goals (besides that long to-do list) you would like to accomplish.
Have you ever thought about what you do right after the alarm clock goes off?
Do you jump into the shower and then frantically head off to work?
-
Unwind and rejuvenate.
Creating an evening ritual will help you destress from the day’s events, let yourself reflect, tune-into your mind & body, and improve your sleep.
-
Quality and quantity matter.
It seems as though insomnia is a common occurrence in our culture with the constant stresses in our lives and the endless amounts of media at our fingers tips keeping us awake at night.
Not getting enough sleep can lead to some serious health issues and impair our ability to learn, our memory, mood, decrease our immunity, and negatively affect our weight and metabolism.
Support you can listen to…anywhere.
Listen wherever your day naturally takes you.
Best experienced when the body is at ease, moving gently, resting deeply, or outdoors.

…When the body isn’t responding, it’s rarely because you need more.
It’s because the foundations aren’t aligned.
