A letter every Friday

What this is, and what comes next.

It's good to be writing to you. This is the first of these.

I've been meaning to start writing for a while, so here we are.

BeyondYou is a personal reset practice in San Francisco. I work with a few people at a time and we look at the whole picture together rather than one corner of it, which means how you train, what you eat, how you sleep, what's wearing you down, what your bloodwork says, what your body is quietly reacting to, and what's going on in your head while all of that is happening. Most people who find me have already tried some of it on their own, and it half worked, usually because nobody was looking at more than one piece at a time.

I'm not doing it alone either. There's a therapist, a nutrition partner, a chiropractor, and your own doctor if there's one you trust. What makes it work is that they all stay in the same conversation, so nothing gets lost in between.

There's a name for how I run it now, The BeyondYou Method, and it comes down to four moves. Read, clear, build, and hold. Next Friday I'll take you through what each one really means.

After that, I'll write every Friday, and I'll keep it short. Whatever is actually on my mind that week, something a client told me, something the bloodwork showed, or just something I noticed on a walk. The kind of thing I would tell you over coffee if we were sitting somewhere.

If any of it ever sounds like someone you know, send it their way. That is how most people find me.

Glad you're here.
