Welcome to my Breakthru Pain podcast! I am your host Cierra Clark. Thank you for choosing to tune into my show :D You are the reason I will keep doing this! What was the moment when life hit you so hard in the darkness that you thought that was the end but then found your purpose in your pain? Where there was no other option but to go up? Has anyone ever told you to become superman or superwoman? "Our greatest gift lies next to our deepest wound" -Philip McKernan My life hit a 360 degree transformaton from thinking I was disabled and crippled at age 19 because every doctor said I was chronically ill and will never get better.. I thought my life was over. I was emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually damaged. I was determined to find answers and hope even after consulting with over 10 doctors around the US that told me there's nothing else. As a result, I was taking medications since I was 14 yrs old, STRONG drugs such as the famous opioid. My story involves feeling paralyzed from the level of pain in my every day, back surgery, attempt at suicidal overdosing and being chronically ill & out of tune with my body for over 10 years of my life. Until I saw Dr. Nassr at Mayo Clinic MN in 2017. He planted a new perspective in my mind filled with hope, health, & holistic healing awareness. He gave me the light to take my life to another level. He said I needed to become superwoman.. Since then I have been clean from my prescription drugs, hiking mountain tops, horse riding, and figuring out who I am using "Alternative, holistic, naturopathic" medicine. I live to fuel my body with the best solutions and food to overcome my Spondylosis & Lyme disease. I live a plant based gluten free life and I am healthier than I've ever been. Im excited to be sharing ALL of my biohacks and experience and knowledge so YOU can also feel the BEST you've ever felt. I want you to THRIVE. I hope nothing but the best in your life so you can live long & healthy as you aspire. I will be educating on so many aspects of health and how to generate optimal living even if your struggling in the Mind/Body/Spirit. 1 step at a time I encourage you to find your balance.. find who you are meant to be and grow in knowing you can always learn more and ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS. Please keep an open mind. Open heart and keep notes ready because this will be FULL of great tools!! - Namaste
