#150: Simple vs. Lazy: The Mindset Shift That Changes Healing

What if the reason your healing journey feels so exhausting, expensive, and complicated is because you’ve been taught to believe that healing has to be complicated?In this solo episode, Brooke shares a simple mindset shift that can completely change the way you approach root cause healing—especially if you’ve spent years bouncing between practitioners, trying supplements, chasing symptoms, or wondering why nothing seems to be working. She breaks down the important difference between simple, easy, and lazy, and explains why a simple first step doesn’t mean your practitioner isn’t doing enough.Brooke also shares a real client example of a 46-year-old mom with Hashimoto’s who came into her program wanting to understand the root cause of her symptoms and feel like herself again. Her first recommendations were surprisingly simple: introduce two foods and increase her overall food intake. It felt almost too simple—but that was intentional. Healing is often a layered process, and the first steps may not look as impressive as you expect. Brooke explains why foundational changes need to come before more complex interventions, why 60–65% of her clients with significant diagnoses are unintentionally under-eating, and why trusting the process can be one of the hardest—and most important—parts of healing.
