I understand the high stress that accompanies the Special Operations way of life. When he graduated from the Q course and healed from his HALO accident injuries we thought that he would retire at twenty years in the military as a Special Forces medic. Our story and his career in Special Forces is difficult to talk about because it was abnormal. When my husband was injured while at HALO school I was not notified by the Army. It had gotten back to me that something had happened to him and everyone that had gone through the Q course with him knew before I did. My husband did not know that the rumor of his injuries had made its way to me. I was in Idaho at the time of his accident. He made it back to Ft. Bragg from Yuma where he was admitted to the hospital for surgery on both his leg and his foot. I made my way back to meet him knowing that this was going to be a long road for him to recover. It took a year. For nearly three months I couldn’t leave our apartment without having someone there with him since he couldn’t move around and he was unable to meet his own basic needs. We had a hospital bed in our living room. He doesn’t remember that he had difficulty sleeping and that I would have to lay in the hospital bed next to him so that he could sleep. Then I would catch a few hours of sleep on the couch before he would wake up and need me. I did everything. I won’t mention some of the things that I had to do out of respect for my husband and his need for privacy. In order to make it through this I turned inward so that I could make it day by day. People would stop by on occasion to see him before they moved. Everything falls on the caretaker and everyone was focused on my husband. No one could see me because I wasn’t a soldier. In the year that it took for him to recover not a single person reached out to ask me if I was okay. No one came to give me a break. He graduated from the Special Forces Qualification course in a wheelchair. I could hear the other families talking about him as I watched the ceremony. At this point, most of our friends had PCS’d to their group. A year later he was released back to active duty. Two weeks later we moved to Ft. Campbell. One month after that he deployed. Three months into the deployment his grandfather passed away and I brought him home through the Red Cross. We reintegrated at the funeral for his grandfather while surrounded by his family. Soon after that, a friend of ours was KIA. It was at this point that we noticed that he was losing weight rapidly and had symptoms of an autoimmune disease. We didn't know which one it was for a few months. This took us back to the drawing board and through a different healing process that would take years and would lead to his medical retirement from the 5th Special Forces Group. This time we had and still have a tight circle of friends that helped us. During this time there were a lot of family issues going on that added to the stress. My body began to shut down. The stress that started in my childhood as big T traumas and continued up until this point caused my body to shut down. This story is unique to us. The stress. The pain. The consequences. Every spouse has felt aspects of chronic stress, fatigue, burnout, and brain fog, and the toll that this fast-paced lifestyle takes on the special operations spouse. This is not unique. My experience shifted my perspective to where I needed to find a solution to the overwhelmed and deep loneliness that spouses feel. This is why Intentionally Healed exists today. To be a solution for the serious gap in care for these women. The ones who go unnoticed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165dfb503602f3fe07179df/182e0496-3c5b-4f6a-a888-a4377fa070fd/DSC_6204.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165dfb503602f3fe07179df/5bd6555c-0af7-406e-9fcc-82fe95e72d1e/DSC_6557.jpg https://www.intentionallyhealedllc.com/about daily 0.75 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165dfb503602f3fe07179df/c9327232-062c-4d98-b016-bf74c88843d5/DSC_6464.jpg About - Transforming nutrition and mental health. The military and first responders community need a collective overhaul of the way that mental health and trauma are viewed. That happens when viable alternative solutions are created that need an alternative approach. We now understand the critical connection between the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) and the brain. The negative health implications of chronic stress are at epidemic levels. Through Intentionally Healed, I have been able to help men and women connect back to their bodies by educating them on how nutrition impacts their brain function and the way that they feel by providing new tools that empower change. If you are feeling: Irritable, bloated, congested, having sleep issues, IBS symptoms, moody, low self-esteem, anxious, foggy brain, overwhelmed, headaches, rapid heart beat, loss of sexual desire, nervousness, clenched jaw…. you may be living in a state of chronic stress. Nutritional therapy focuses on balancing minerals, digestion, blood sugar regulation, hydration, and fatty acids all of which if are out of balance negatively contribute to your stress levels and lower your immune system. They also contribute to mental health function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165dfb503602f3fe07179df/4c17397a-4176-4ab5-8a31-55c16aeb1b4e/12.jpg About - A modern approach to wellness from a retired operator’s wife.
