Sometimes themes come up in life. We will see it amongst my patients and those dear to us.

Grief has been the theme lately.

Grief is not just loss of a loved one. But loss of anything that cracks you open, breaks your heart and leaves you completely different. Never to be the same again.

That’s grief.

It will change your world view, your capacities.

It will cut a hole in you to let light in. But not at first. At first it drains and stains your being with sorrow.

There is a collective grief right now. There is deep personal grief too.

The theme is here and the only comfort is that we are on this planet together. Nobody escapes grief if they choose to love and feel.

Love is always worth it.

So if you are feeling this too. Just know that all of us are with you.

Some of our favorite herbs to soothe the grieving heart are Holy Basil, Hawthorne, Rose, Motherwort and skullcap.

We also recommend the flower essence: Star of Bethlehem

❤️❤️❤️

This was what our 70 y/o patient said at checkout today!

After months of misery and carrying around Kleenex like it’s a job.

He finally could leave home without the tissue!

One allergy treatment with Dr. Sharman changed everything!!!

Relief is real.

And as a bonus he was said the aesthetic here was AMAZING.

He said “I feel like I’m in a museum.”

We said … “We hope you feel at home too!”

He laughed … “ Funny thing is I love museums … it’s where I feel most at home.”

Come see us if you don’t feel good!

Funny story! (always with Lola)

This little hooligan comes into my room and regularly turns the red light on. She has no idea it has any healing benefit… although honestly, I think she might.

She turns it on for exactly two minutes…probably the perfect dose for her age…and then shuts it off.

Recently, my mom developed a wound on her foot. This little one looked at me and said, “Noni foot?.”

And it just landed.

If we could all tap back into that original intelligence… what would the world be like?

What I do know is this:

Here at ✨✨The Remedy ✨✨, we are constantly teaching our patients to reconnect with their own original intelligence.

It’s not just about healing.
It’s not just about supplements.
It’s not just about patterns or diagnoses.

Our goal is that when you walk out the door, you begin to understand yourself again.

Almost like a child.

❤️ you Lola!

Recently I had an interaction with someone close to me that resulted in a tantrum like reaction.

It shocked the hell out of me!

I looked back and thought … why didn’t you just take a deep breath? Take a beat!

In that moment there were no deep breaths, no moments before my body and brain just REACTED!

Damage was done.

As I reflected I thought of all the justifications for this inflection point. The other person was unreasonable. They have control issues. I was just doing my best and of course it’s not good enough.

Blah Blah Blah

But as I dug deeper I realized my “inner child” was triggered and there were no parents home.

Before you laugh or maybe roll your eyes… it’s true!

My reaction was born from a moment I remember at the age of 10. Similar feelings and fears and frustrations. Only this time I was going to yell back. This time I would stand my ground.

There was no parent at home to calm me down before I created even more chaos.

Who’s that parent you ask?

The nervous system.

My nervous system was fried from life: mold recovery, teens, a neck injury, lack of joy. Had turned my nervous system into some bottle blond split ends.

Because….

Your nervous system parents your inner child.

And as cliche as it sounds that inner child wants to cry out. Wants to be loved, helped and soothed.

So if your nervous system is neglected … so is the inner child….

And then watch out!!!

So take really good care of your nervous system so you can be a better parent to little you.

And not cause chaos ❤️❤️❤️

Physiology matters.

And yet, so much of modern medicine is built around labeling instead of understanding.

A diagnosis can be helpful…
but it’s not the full picture.

Two people can carry the same diagnosis
and need completely different support.

Because the real question is:

What is the body doing right now?

When we come back to physiology —
blood sugar, nervous system, inflammation, hormones, cellular health, microbiome, gut signaling, detoxification —
we start to see clearly.

And when we see clearly, we treat differently.

This is where medicine becomes both science and wisdom again.

Can you relate?

01/30/2026

We have heard him referred to as our best kept secret.

All who know Walter are blessed by a calm demeanor and wisdom in action.

I don’t think I know another person with as many letters behind their name. (And he’d never tell you that)

Walter we hope you treat yourself as well as you do your patients today. Thanks for being part of The Remedy family.

Blow outta candle or 35ish of them and find lots of time to play!

A five star review from Deb K. ⭐️

“The Remedy Martinez is a wonderful shop and healing refuge in downtown Martinez. The practitioners and staff are phenomenal and take a comprehensive approach unlike anything I have experienced in the traditional medical system. Andrea’s dedication to understanding the root causes of my health issues, rather than just treating symptoms, was transformative. After a thorough evaluation, including detailed blood work, Andrea crafted a personalized health plan tailored specifically to my needs and the results were remarkable. I highly recommend Andrea Telfer and The Remedy Martinez for anyone considering a holistic approach to healing and healthcare.”
