It’s not about you. But sometimes, it really needs to be.

Resilient
/
Andrea Thompson

In his book, “Purpose-Driven Life”, best-selling author Rick Warren starts with this powerful opening line…

“It’s not about you.”

His point is beautiful and in the context of it, he’s encouraging us all to realize that God has a bigger plan that doesn’t just revolve around our individual lives.

In that regard, I’m in full agreement with Pastor Rick.

But I also know that when it comes to working through our issues, it requires us to recognize that sometimes, “it is about us.”

By that, I mean unless we own our past mistakes and circumstances (even those we had no control over), then we can’t move forward in a healthy way.

I believe that once we own it, and essentially state: “God, you can make something beautiful out of my life, and I’m willing to let go of the pain and frustration of the past…”

That’s when things get really good.

Listen, I understand that thinking only of ourselves can cause tendencies toward narcissism or victim mentality. But ignoring yourself can also have adverse consequences.

Neither of these is where we want to live.

This is why we must understand self-love and then self-sacrifice. Some of us know that we are children of the living and all-powerful God. The invitation to be a child of God is open to all, but not all accept it. This God is so powerful that He can call every person on earth His favorite because we are. He is a father that gives to His children richly, giving to one doesn’t mean He can’t give everything that is good to another as well.

A scarcity mindset—or in a Christian context, you may hear it called the orphan spirit— tells us that “because they got that, there is not enough for me.” This orphan spirit says God has a limited supply of good things. It is trying to tell you that once He gives to one, there won’t be enough for another.

This simply is not true.

A person with narcissistic tendencies will use manipulation and guilt proclaiming, “I’ve given you so much, and you’re so ungrateful,” or, “I’m a victim and you must help me or you’re not a good person.” They hijack your emotions and convince you to make unreasonable sacrifices.

A resilient person, on the other hand, says:

  1. “I am grateful because I see purpose, hope, and courage in everything I do or receive from others.”
  2. “I am not a victim. Instead of saying poor me, I will admit it hurts, but I know that I will overcome this too.”

The point is simply this: own what’s gone wrong, even if it wasn’t your fault and invite God into the healing process.

I believe this opens your heart and mind to allowing healing and wholeness to begin. Because you’re no longer making your pain or problems the center of your universe. You’re making God the center, and allowing Him to use you to help and bless others.

And in the best way possible, then it’s no longer about you.

    Such a good word Andrea! Why do we make it either/or when God’s ways are both/and? Healing and empowering Presence came before ministry; Pentecost, woman at the well, Saul to Paul, etc. So grateful I can be on my own healing journey and be able to minister to others out of the Holy Spirit who lives in me at the same time. ????

    Love this Andrea, such a timely word right now. It’s incredible when we lay ourselves bare to the one who sees anyway, and are able to receive the correction and love necessary to be his vessel for others. Thank you for all you are in him and how you encourage so many ????❤

FOLLOW UP

Your blood changes about every 4 months in response to your environment, diet, emotions, travel etc. so following up with Dr. Hilu is important.

When he will need to reanalyze your blood will depend on his findings and the protocol you receive. He will not ask you to retest before 4 months and may recommend a follow up in 6, 8 or even 12 months.

Following up is a crucial part of the process since it is how Dr. Hilu and his team track your progress and update your protocol accordingly.

The last page of your results will include when to retest but you will also receive an email reminder. You will then order a follow up kit the same way as your first test.

Your follow up results will include:

  • The percentage of improvement in the areas listed in your first results
  • Any new findings that need to be addressed
  • An updated treatment plan/protocol

SUPPORT

Once Dr. Hilu analyzes your blood, you will be considered one of his patients and the clinic will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Our team of Personal Health Instructors are also available for hire if you feel it would be beneficial for you to speak with a health coach. Your Personal Health Instructor can help interpret your cellular analysis results and provide answers and tools to help you implement your protocol.

This includes:

  • Going through your results one line item at a time explaining Dr. Hilu’s findings. Helping to identify a theme in Dr. Hilu’s findings and highlight some potential root causes (dietary, stress, physical exercise etc).
  • Providing practical recommendations of changes  you can make in your everyday routine that support the protocol and its effectiveness. Without making these lifestyle changes, the supplements will only be so effective.
  • Thoroughly explaining Dr. Hilu’s recommendations and treatment plan and simplifying what your daily routine will look like.
  • Spending as much time as you are willing to address some of the emotional stressors that could be hindering healing and supporting you with tools that you can use to alleviate them.
  • A thorough follow up email after your consultation with all of the links to the suggested supplements (it is very important to use high quality and ethically sourced supplements), PDF food/recipe recommendations and other recommendations that are specific to you.

You can learn more about consultations here

TREATMENT PLAN

Your treatment plan will include a list of specific supplements you should purchase along with instructions on how to take each product and for how long.

Other potential recommended treatments may include:

  • Therapies
  • Detoxes
  • Cleanses
  • In more severe cases, receiving on-site treatment at Dr. Hilu’s clinic in Marbella, Spain

RECOMMENDATIONS

Under “Recommendations” in your results, Dr. Hilu and his team will list lifestyle changes you should make in order to maximize the effectiveness of your treatment plan.

It is crucial to address every area in order to see the results you are looking for.

Some examples include:

  • Certain foods or food groups to avoid or minimize
  • Specific foods to add to your diet
  • Detox suggestions
  • Tips to address eating habits
  • Potential sensitivities to avoid/address (nickel, emf, humidity, toxins, etc.)
  • Exercise suggestions if applicable
  • Tips to improve mental/emotional health
  • Tips to address environmental factors
  • Dental suggestions if applicable
  • Tips for reducing stress and stressors

And much more according to Dr. Hilu’s findings…

Dr. Hilu’s Findings

Your results will include a complete list of all the abnormalities and imbalances Dr. Hilu found in your blood (does not include numbers or levels).

It is difficult to give a list of specific details you will receive in your results since every test differs from person to person depending on what Dr. Hilu sees in their cells.

You can find a list below of some of the things that he can see:

  • Permeability of the cell
  • If oxygen is getting into the cells
  • Every organ and organ system in the body
  • Vitamin deficiency or if a person is producing too much and not eliminating certain nutrients
  • Metallic and chemical toxicity
  • How cells are communicating with each other or not
  • Abnormalities or diseases with no name or origin
  • Oxidation stress which would hinder biological years
  • Imbalance of hormones but not specific levels or numbers
  • Everything about the immune system including any imbalances or infections
  • If you have food intolerances (not full panel test)
  • Joint and tissue degeneration
  • Inflammation
  • Lymphatic system/circulatory system
  • Digestion/enzyme production
  • Fats and proteins digestion
  • Vacuolization due to past or present infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal)
