Life’s path isn’t always linear—mine definitely hasn’t been. 🌿

I was doing well in my own journey with Lyme, mold illness, fatigue, pain, and brain fog… until 2024. Between a growing list of patients needing support, aging parents, and kids now deep into the world of competitive sports, I let my own health slide.

No saunas. No retreats. No meditation. No IVs. And it caught up with me.

Walking a labyrinth recently reminded me how much I believe in mindful movement, stillness, and reflection—not just for my patients, but for myself. It’s how I reconnect to my why.

So in 2025, I made a vow to realign, prioritize my own care, and return to the practices I recommend every single day.

Then I got sick again and crashed a few weeks ago when starting a new Lyme treatment. Well, actually the oldest one we know of with an antibiotic called - Doxycycline. My body did NOT like it - a reminder that each person is so different.

So I go back to the beginning of the labyrinth again, reflect, rework my plan and move forward.

Wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up again and again, even when we’ve wandered off the path. 🌱

-Dr. Cristyn Watkins
