The city is back to blocking all the parking on 35th right in front of my Fremont office. So if you’re heading in for a session please give yourself a bit more time for street parking.

What is “resilience?”
How does resilience or lack there of manifest for you in your daily life?
How do we increase resilience?

Well, we all can google the definition of resilience. “The ability of people, materials, or systems to recover quickly from difficult, damaging, or stressful situations.” (google search) We could even ask those irritating Ai tools that seem to be sneaking into everything and everyplace. (I choose not to, thanks.)
That however doesn’t address the personal connection to the action of being resilient. We each have our own difficult, damaging, and stressful situations that drain our reserves and can lead to a cascade of situations, choices, and outcomes.
I will not make any claim to be able to answer those questions for you. Sometime I even struggle to answer them for myself.

If you have experienced a intergrative session with me you have most likely heard me spin off some story or personal experience that I have feel connects with your story or situation, which I feel will validate your experience and shows my commitment truely seeing, listening, and hearing you. You may have also heard me talk story about my girls. With both being involved in the neurodivergent / ADHD / Autistic community. They have informed me that I too have a bit of the “tissums” and we, as a family have fun pointing out when those traits are in full form.
There is story to be shared; however I will refrain from allowing that “tissum” to make this even more wordy.

All the previous paragraphs have been lead up to sharing an experience which I feel connects the pattern of resilience. I asked, “how does resilience or lack there of manifest?” While stopping at the grocery I was confronted with one of my personal challenges / “stressful situations”. I have a very difficult time with reading. From flipping letters to having a difficult time “decoding” unfamiliar letter combinations visually, and linking those to verbal communication. Directly due to this I choose to not put myself in situations where I will have to. Especially in a public setting, out loud, and while I am tired.

Now this stressful situation was unfortunately unavoidable in part due to the person that came to help get something out of the cold case was not the person I had worked with before. I tried. I really did. My resilience was down, really down. Typically if possible to will just not be in public when I feel like this. My masking tools either dont work or I perceive them not working so… The name of what I needed, which I have never been able to read, really did not work out. My 1st through 5th attempt must have came across as being disrespectful. When I do try to read out loud I am used to the little laugh, smile, and I will admit I am very sensitive to indirect communication styles. I tend to catch those subtle jabs, eye rolls, etc. Let’s just say the vibe was not going well.
At this point I was already fully committed and there was no way of gracefully backing out of the situation. The embarrassment of not being able to read something was in full display. The group of folks waiting had by now also noticed. The person behind the counter eventually got what I wanted. No masking was going to get me out of this. So I just apologized, and moved on.

While my situational resiliency was impacted by first being physically tired, and more so by the event which took place. I was able to draw from my reserves, complete the task, and redirect what in the past would have been defensive, to connecting with myself. I know that by working through past triggers. Clearing them through emotional trauma release techniques, TBM emotional techniques vials, and UMAC I have reduced the physiologic impact and in turn maintained more resilience. Thats not to say there is not more to do. I did finish my grocery visit and choose to recharge with things like music, water, eventually a 20 min brain clearing nap, and my afternoon mood enhancer, espresso.

We all have our stories. Our personal stressful situations and we all could do with a reminder from time to time that we dont know what is going on is someone’s day. A little grace between each other can go along way to maintain our own resilience.

German researchers have introduced a groundbreaking therapy that has permanently restored insulin production in a large percentage of Type 1 diabetes patients. The treatment uses a patient’s own stem cells, reprogramming them into new insulin-producing beta cells and implanting them back into the pancreas. Early trials show that more than 80% of patients became fully insulin-independent within months — with healthy, natural glucose control maintained for years. The therapy also includes targeted immunotherapy to stop the autoimmune attack that originally destroyed the pancreas, making the cure long-lasting instead of temporary.

But while this treatment is fully or heavily covered in Germany under universal healthcare, the situation in the U.S. is drastically different. American patients face out-of-pocket costs that can exceed $40,000 because insurers classify the therapy as “experimental.” For many, traveling abroad becomes the only realistic option. This sharp contrast has reignited global debates around healthcare access, medical pricing, and the ongoing conflict between life-saving cures and long-term pharmaceutical profit models.

🚨 Lupus finally has a clear culprit.

It's a common virus carried by 95% of us.

A groundbreaking study has finally revealed the mechanism linking the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)—carried by more than 95% of adults worldwide—to lupus, a debilitating autoimmune disease.

For decades, researchers suspected a connection between the two, but the biological trigger remained elusive.

Now, scientists at Stanford Medicine have identified how EBV can transform the immune system’s B cells into rogue antigen-presenters, activating a cascade of immune responses that ultimately causes the body to attack itself. In lupus patients, EBV-infected B cells are dramatically more common—1 in every 400 cells compared to fewer than 1 in 10,000 in healthy people. This activity awakens self-attacking B cells and killer T cells, causing the systemic inflammation and tissue damage seen in lupus.

The discovery marks a major leap in understanding lupus and possibly other autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, which has also been linked to EBV. “We think it applies to 100% of lupus cases,” said senior author Dr. William Robinson. While EBV infection is nearly universal, only a fraction of those infected develop lupus—likely due to genetic differences, environmental factors, or variations in virus strains. Identifying the exact EBV-related trigger opens a path to more targeted therapies and even preventive strategies in the future. As the study’s authors suggest, this could be one of the most significant breakthroughs in autoimmune research in decades.

This is a quick notice that from 5/22-5/25 I will be out of the office getting some time away. I still have a few slots open in Fremont before I had out for the last part of the week. Check online at radiantacupuncture.com, GisselHealth.com or drop me a line to see if one of the those times left could work for you.

Throughout my website, and at my Fremont location I have a selection of surfboards that I have shaped over the last few years. This next week I will have the chance to do some board testing of a Asymmetrical Wave Pool at the standing wave pool in Chelan WA.

Over the last week or so I have had a few patients come in either asking about “dry needling” or having received it from their PT. Here is a great breakdown from a fellow acupuncturist. I will be printing and posting this in my waiting and treatment room.
