Plant based medicine. It's coming. But we have to remember, IT'S BEEN HERE ALL ALONG.
At Tenacity, we believe in patient access and freedom of choice.
Ready for a provider who thinks differently? Call us.

A new case series published in Frontiers in Neuroscience explored ibogaine microdosing combined with psychotherapy in three patients with persistent brain injury symptoms.

Over six weeks, participants took low doses of iboga root bark (4 days on, 3 days off) alongside weekly AEDP psychotherapy sessions.

The results found all three showed progressive neurological recovery. Two achieved complete symptom remission at long-term follow-up. Daily headaches, brain fog, fatigue, migraines, and mood instability all resolved. Every participant discontinued their prescription medications.

These are conditions conventional medicine routinely struggles to treat.

While the authors are clear this is early, hypothesis-generating research (small sample, no control group), the findings point toward a genuinely promising direction, and the involvement of Robin Carhart-Harris, one of the world's leading psychedelic researchers, adds serious credibility.

Controlled trials are needed. But the signs are clear.

New Week. New Month, and It’s one of those rare moments that feels like the universe handing you a clean slate and saying, “Try again. Go bigger. Take yourself seriously.”

Summer is here, and your body deserves to feel good in it. This is the season to move with intention, to fuel yourself with what gives you energy, and to show up for your health in a way that actually feels doable.

You don’t need perfection, you just need to start. One choice today and another tomorrow. That’s how momentum builds, and things begin to shift.

Let June be the month where everything starts to fall into place because you decided it would. This is your moment. Step into it with Tenacity.

I thought I was going to end up on disability.

In 2022, I went through a complete health crisis that changed everything – including the provider I am today.

It started after a flare of chronic SI joint instability followed by a silent neck injury from a roller coaster ride at Disney. What followed was months of debilitating craniocervical instability (CCI) and severe SI joint instability. I had rocking dizziness so bad that walking felt like moving on a trampoline. Brain fog. Fatigue. Stuttering. Blurry vision. Excruciating pelvic and neck pain. I could not walk some days. Some days I crawled to my kitchen. Some days I used a cane. I am a nurse practitioner. I was scared.

I fought for myself the way I have always fought for my patients.

I researched relentlessly, diagnosed myself, sought out the best specialists in the country, and built what I call my dream healing team – ruthlessly trying people out and moving on when they weren’t the right fit. That team included regenerative injections (PRP and autologous stem cells) at Centeno-Schultz Clinic, prolotherapy, chiropractic, dry needling, PT, functional
movement work, prayer, meditation... and a stubborn obsessive focus on one outcome: that I would reclaim my health.

And at the center of reclaiming my pelvic and SI joint health was Laura Williams, Doctor of PT and founder of Hearth Healing – a pelvic floor physical therapist and genius in helping women reclaim pelvic health after babies and injuries. She became a critical cornerstone of my recovery. (Everyone: she can work with you remotely also!!)

Pelvic health is not a niche issue. It is the foundation of the skyscraper called your spine. It is the fulcrum of your entire body. When it fails, everything fails. Laura understood that deeply, and she helped me rebuild from the ground up.

I am fully recovered. I strength train with a coach – I will not let myself get weak. I do yoga. I do core workouts. I hike. I ride mountain bike and dirt bike. I trail ride horses. I work full time. I take care of my son. I take care of my farm. I opened my own practice.

Going through this made me a better provider in ways I could not have anticipated. I know what it feels like to be scared, to be dismissed, to have to fight for answers. I know what it means to have the right person show up at the right time and change the trajectory of your healing.

If you are struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction, SI joint instability, chronic pelvic pain, craniocervical instability or any of the ways this part of your body can quietly unravel your life – please do not ignore it. Seek out someone who specializes. It matters more than you know. We can help you put the dream healing team together at Tenacity Health because I've been there. We can lead the charge. Together, we can reject mediocrity and connect you with true healers.

Now, Laura Williams PT honored me by hiring me to be her functional medicine provider. She has also now reclaimed optimal health. Healers helping healers.

Healing and love coming full circle. 🙏❤️

The CPW draw results are in… and just like that, the countdown to fall begins. There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of another Colorado hunting season — early mornings, crisp air, and the promise of filling the freezer with some of the cleanest, leanest protein on the planet.

If you drew a tag this year, consider it your official reminder: now’s the time to get back in shape, dial in your nutrition, and train for the mountains. Elk and deer season aren’t just hunts, they’re endurance events. And the payoff is worth every step.

High‑protein, nutrient‑dense wild game. Long days in the field with the people that share your same passion. A chance to reconnect with the land, the wildlife, and the work it takes to earn your harvest.

Here’s to another season on the horizon and to putting in the work now so you can meet the mountains with strength, resilience, and tenacity.

Movement is medicine, so find the time! At Tenacity Health, we believe lasting health starts with the habits that make you stronger every day. One workout, one walk, one choice at a time. 💪

God bless the brave.
The Fallen.
The families left behind.
And the country they loved so deeply.

This Memorial Day weekend, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason so many of us get to come home, hold our families close, and enjoy the freedom that so many died protecting.

Every day we carry their memory with gratitude and we honor the families who continue to carry their legacy. And we promise to never forget the heroes who gave everything.

Never forgotten. Always honored.

What I love about this image is that it shows the parts of my life most people never see, the years before Tenacity Health, and the years that shaped why I care so deeply about the people I serve today.

It’s not just three photos. It’s three versions of me learning, growing, and realizing what kind of clinician I wanted to become.

As a former ER nurse, mobile urgent care NP, and county jail NP, I didn’t start this clinic from a business plan. I started it from lived experience. From exhaustion, compassion, heartbreak, and the stubborn belief that people deserve care that actually helps them heal. Especially the people who spend their lives helping everyone else.

If you’re a First Responder reading this and someone who’s still out there answering calls, running toward emergencies, or holding the line on someone’s worst day — I see you. I remember you. And I built this place for you.

Law enforcement runs on constant vigilance, not on adrenaline spikes. Hours of hyper‑awareness, interrupted sleep, elevated cortisol, and long stretches of sitting followed by moments that demand instant clarity and control.

That pattern changes the body over time. It impacts hormones, metabolism, blood pressure, recovery, and the ability to stay sharp shift after shift.

Your badge carries responsibility, but your body carries the weight of the job. Protecting your health isn’t selfish -- it’s operational readiness and longevity. It’s coming home with enough left in the tank for the people who matter most.

On every call, you’re the steady one. Now it’s time to steady your health, too. Tenacity Health is here to help.

There's a moment I see in almost every new patient.

They sit down, and before I even ask a question, they say something like -- "I know this probably sounds crazy, but I just don't feel like myself anymore."

It doesn't sound crazy. Not even a little.

It sounds like someone who has been dismissed, overlooked, or handed a prescription when what they really needed was someone to actually listen.

That's why I started Tenacity Health.

I believe every single person deserves a provider who asks WHY -- not just what to treat, but what's driving it. Who looks at the whole picture. Who remembers that behind every lab value is a real human being with a real life they want to get back to.

We dig into root causes. We run the right labs and read them in full context. We build a plan that's actually built around YOU.

Hormones. Thyroid. Gut health. Metabolic health. Energy. Weight. Chronic pain. Emotional well-being. It's all connected -- and we treat it that way.

If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel anything but -- I want to meet you.

Your story isn't over. It might just be ready for a new chapter.
