Episode 5, another beautiful story of healing🙏🏼💚 Josh and I connected initially in 2021 through social media. I was well into my healing process and Josh was still very sick. I can remember Josh reaching out for help or with questions about how to get better, and me feeling awful after because I could not make him better and he was struggling terribly. Now Josh and I are both healthy and living our lives again. Josh started The Healing Dudes with his friend and business partner, Joe Cusamano, after they began to heal together. I love their story about how they encouraged each other to "get busy living or get busy dying" (quote from Shawshank Redemption). Josh and Joe use 4 pillars to help facilitate healing: 1. Nutrition 2. Movement 3. Meditation/neuroplasticity 4. Facing fears Josh also discusses the importance of connecting with others (which seems to be a recurring theme in these interviews). In their classes on healing, they connect participants with partners to help with accountability and not feeling so alone, which I think is brilliant. Josh's story is slightly different from others in that he SAW the tick that bit him and infected him with Lyme and TBI. He began experiencing multiple symptoms but was never properly diagnosed/treated for early-stage Lyme. He ultimately lost the ability to work. He wound up in a wheelchair and lost the ability to use anything from the waist down due to neuropathy. If we are able to catch and diagnose Lyme early, 70% of people will have no lingering effects. Those of us who go a long time, usually become very sick as the infections disseminate throughout our entire being. He has overcome a lot and has also done a lot of advocacy work along the way. Josh has a family and his children never really knew what it was like to have a father that was not sick, which was hard for Josh to accept. His wife took on a lot more than she should have to help support them and this was also hard for him to accept. He feels so much better now that he can contribute to his family and participate in their activities. He has done his past to disassociate from sickness at all, and now is struggling to not over, commit himself, because he feels well enough to do things again. Josh truly values the importance of showing up for yourself consistently and getting better. There are so many things we can do along the way and each little piece helps to put the whole thing back in place. He will always be a healing being on a healing journey which is beautiful, because we always make ourselves the priority if that is the attitude we embrace. I am so grateful to have met Josh and to be WITNESSING his healing and return from Zombie Land.
