I have a family member that I love and have great respect for him. He has had some health issues of late.
I was over at his house a month ago and felt saddened by how slow he was moving. I know he’s not the kind of guy that takes advice easily, especially from me, his sister and law.
As I was walking out of his house after visiting my sister, instead of walking out the door, which was my intention… I marched right over to him and asked how he was feeling?
I listened to him as he told me he wasn’t feeling good. I asked what he knew about cleanses for the anti inflammatory effects.
He knew a lot, but what he really knew, and this was said very emphatically, “If I did everything I needed to do to really take care of myself, I would never have time to start my new business. And this new business is my priority!”
That should have been the end of that conversation, but “something” told me to continue… I said, “Why don’t you just start with one of my individualized moderate cleanses. It doesn’t take that much time and I would be happy to help you.”
“Changing how you eat for three weeks and ridding your body of food addictions, can be life changing for you and your body!”
Every time he said BUT… something inside me said keep talking.
So I said something along the lines as to this could be easy, cause I will gently walk you through it… it’s what I do.
Then he looks me in the eye… and says, “Just let me ask you one question….What made you talk to me about this today?” My reply… “Because I had to.”
If I thought about it, it didn’t really feel like the direction even came from me. Is this what a spiritual intervention looks like?
And then… he said, OK, when do we start?
That was four weeks ago… OMG! The man has changed… We have met weekly. We have talked about how easy or hard the mind can make this. Coaching and cleansing…. is the way! Rid the mind of toxic thoughts and rid the body of toxic waste.
He has lost a lot of weight.
Many of his symptoms have improved dramatically.
His eyes (the window to the soul) are now sparkling.
He is one motivated man to take care of himself.
Food as medicine… what a concept!
He now thinks of his health and his business in the same context. They are both equally important and he gladly has time for both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other, it can be both. It just depends on how the mind decides to think about it… His mind has CHANGED! So has his body!
He said to me if you would have told me 20 years ago that I would be working with my sister in law… I wouldn’t have believed it (no offense).
Intuition, God, spiritual intervention… call it what you feel comfortable with. All I can say is I’m grateful…! I find the cleaner my mind becomes the more I seem to be “led” and then to lead.

“My experience with Dr. Butler has been life-changing. I went to her for nutrition information to help me lose weight. I’ve yo-yo dieted all of my life and wanted to get the weight off once and for all. At first I was disappointed because we weren’t talking about food and dieting. But then I had my first major realization–that my struggle all these years wasn’t really about food; it’s about the reasons why I eat and really understanding facts versus my thoughts and feelings. While this seems like such a simple idea on the surface–it’s the most complex thing I’ve ever dug into in my life. With Dr. Butler’s guidance I’ve found myself the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life–physically, mentally, and emotionally–and amazingly all without ever actually “dieting”. It’s a journey that I realize will never end, but I feel more confident in my ability to face challenges honestly. And I love myself more now–mind, body & spirit–than I ever have in my 43 years.” – Mindy Campbell
