You may be sitting on some of the most valuable health information you’ll ever have—and not even know it. Your DNA isn’t just a roadmap of your heritage; it’s a blueprint of how your body functions and what it needs to thrive.

While many doctors dismiss supplements as irrelevant, here at The Legacy Clinic in Cody, WY, we embrace the full picture. Knowing your brands, dosages, and routines—especially any changes—is vital. Without that, we may chart a protocol that repeats past problems or conflicts with what you’re already using. Sometimes, what seems helpful is actually holding you back, or worse, doing harm.

At The Legacy Clinic, we use your intake form to get a clear, honest picture of your health before you even walk in the door. This is our first look into what might be going on with you physically, emotionally, and even environmentally. But when key information is missing—like the supplements you take, the quality of your sleep, your energy levels, or what you’ve been eating—we’re left guessing. And that limits how deeply we can help.

Too often, I meet people who come in with a diagnosis—but no real answers. Maybe it's Hashimoto’s. Maybe it's myofibralgia. These names give us a label, but they don't always tell us what's truly going wrong inside your body.

Let me show you a deep breathing technique that does more than just calm the nervous system. This method helps move lymphatic fluid from your lower body to your upper body—a key to detoxification, immune support, and better sleep.

A healthy lymphatic system supports detoxification, immune defense, and overall vitality. When it’s functioning well, you feel lighter, more energized, and less inflamed.

This is knowledge every person should have — because the health of your lymphatic system affects the health of every other system in your body.

The lymphatic system is responsible for clearing waste and excess fluid from your tissues. When it’s damaged—especially during surgery—fluid can build up where it shouldn’t, leading to discomfort, swelling, and even long-term complications.

If your lymphatic system isn’t working properly, it could be at the root of many of your health challenges—weight gain, fatigue, chronic inflammation, and more. That’s because it acts as a drainage and filtration system, moving waste and toxins out of your body. When it’s sluggish, so are you.

Think of your lymphatic system as your body’s drainage network. It carries away waste, toxins, and cellular debris so your tissues can stay clean, nourished, and ready to heal. Every cell in your body relies on this system to keep functioning at its best.

Do you ever look at someone young and think, “They should be full of energy,” but instead, they’re exhausted? I see this all the time. And while people often point to hormones or cortisol, the real issue is something most folks have never even considered: mitochondrial health.

Nutrient deficiencies, stress, lack of sleep, or chronic inflammation can all starve your mitochondria. Your energy lags, your body quits handling toxins efficiently, and you start feeling old before your time.

Mitochondria are responsible for generating the energy your body needs to function. Every heartbeat, every breath, every thought—all require the energy produced by these tiny structures. When they are functioning at their peak, you feel energized, mentally clear, and resilient. But when they become compromised, the consequences ripple through your entire system.

We’re constantly exposed to toxins, heavy metals, and chemicals that interfere with mitochondrial function. Add in poor dietary habits, chronic stress, and lack of sleep, and you’ve got a recipe for dysfunction at the cellular level. These stressors can impair energy production, increase inflammation, and even accelerate the aging process. The symptoms? Fatigue, brain fog, sluggish recovery, and a general feeling of being "off."

Most people think cancer is just something you “get”—maybe it runs in your family, or you were exposed to certain toxins. And yes, those factors do play a role. But what if I told you there’s more to the story? Something more dynamic and happening inside you every single day.

One of the key tools we use in our clinic is genetic profiling. Every person carries a unique set of genes that influence how their body responds to threats like cancer. Some genes are designed to protect you. But when those genes don’t work properly—whether due to mutations or environmental stressors—they can actually contribute to cancer formation.

When we talk about cancer, it’s easy to focus on just one part of the journey—either how to prevent it, how to treat it, or how to recover afterward. But the truth is, each of these phases is equally critical, and understanding them can be life-changing.

When we talk about cancer prevention and recovery, we often focus on diet, environment, or genetics. While each of these plays a role, one of the most powerful factors in your body’s ability to fight cancer is often overlooked: the T lymphocyte—a specialized immune cell with the remarkable ability to identify and destroy cancer cells.

Every single day, your body performs a miraculous act of self-protection: it identifies and destroys cancer cells before they can do harm. But don’t panic—your immune system, when functioning properly, is designed to eliminate them efficiently and quietly.

Deep inside your cells lies a tiny yet powerful structure called the mitochondrion. This is your body’s energy factory. It fuels everything—your muscles, your brain, your nervous system, and every organ you rely on. And these mitochondria are extremely sensitive to elevated blood sugar levels.

Think of it like an iceberg. The visible tip above the water represents the symptoms you might recognize. But beneath the surface, a massive amount of unseen impact is silently accumulating. High blood sugar operates in a similar way. It can be quietly wreaking havoc on your vital organs, nerves, and blood vessels long before you experience any noticeable discomfort.
