rivy as a temple

I like to think of RIVY as a temple, and a temple is a sacred space where healing, reflection, and alignment happen.

Some people go to the temple to connect with the Almighty Source.

Some go to get clarity on healing and progress.

Others go because they are hurt and confused and need a breakthrough.

That is exactly the kind of environment I am aiming to create here at Rivy Health. I want you to be able to come here and then leave with not only optimal health care but with an internal breakthrough.

In my opinion, many of the simple AND complex health ailments that we see today are not just a case of a hormonal imbalance or a toxin overload (though still a very important part of the equation). It is often due to an imbalance in the spiritual and mental capacity.

& I don't need to tell you that these are two of the most overlooked and under-addressed roots of most conditions.

And even with psych care, it is overlooked and mistreated because you can't prescribe a pill for a lack of fulfillment and purpose.

So with RIVY, the aim is to fill the gap.

Connect the missing link.

High blood pressure is not only due to a salty or fatty diet, but it may also be because you are constantly stressed and don't have a higher power outlet to release to.

That vaginitis is not just an attestation of a candida overload or whacky pH, it may just be a reactive purge of the energy that your body no longer wants to be subscribed to because that fellow that you were dealing with, y'all weren't equally yoked, and it was clashing.

That ED is not just a blood flow or even a stress thing; it may be a deeper psychological deadening happening as a result of being unequally yoked or a consciousness buried deep in unaligned lust and fantasy.

& no, I am not trying to force you into what to believe, I just want you to understand the depth of the connection of the mind, body, and spirit.

If this is what you are even the slightest bit curious about, Rivy is for you. & If you are looking for a quick fix, well, Rivy is for you too. But understand that quick fixes come with a cost that is usually more expensive than root care.

With quick fixes, we can prescribe all of the first-line treatments, but that does not stop the underlying cause. Therefore, you may get wrapped up in the same cycle that many of our people get wrapped up in:

Symptom → Disease → Treatment → Recovery → Return

SYMPTOM.

A subtle signal. Tiredness, unintentional weight gain, and skin breakout. We brush it off, normalize it, or silence it.

DISEASE.

The body starts to shout. The message is clearer now, but often by this point, it's given a name or a diagnosis. A label.

TREATMENT.

We're offered a pill, a cream, a quick fix. It manages the discomfort but doesn't ask why the body cried out in the first place.

RECOVERY.

We feel better for now. But we haven't addressed the root, the rhythm, or the deeper restoration our temple needs.

RETURN.

The symptoms come back. Sometimes louder, sometimes different. And the cycle begins again.

When we solely treat a symptom with a pill or a punch and not look at the underlyer, all we are doing is placing that symptom in an envelope with a stamp on it, but no address. Yeah, it may go out for a little while, but it is only a matter of time before that letter comes right back to the sender.

Some individuals complete this over many cycles up until the end of life, but with each cycle, I like to think of it as blowing up a balloon. Each cycle start is a big pump of air into the balloon. At first, it may not seem like a big deal, but the effects aren't as prominent. But with each pump of air, the balloon grows and grows and grows, and then after a while, POP, the balloon explodes.

If we address the root, which is often lifestyle, we may be able to stop it before it gets to that point.

At RIVY Health, we serve as a primary and ambulatory care space that is rooted in lifestyle medicine at its core.

Lifestyle medicine is literally the backbone and the cornerstone of healing. It helps us to look into everyday habits and how they either feed disease or starve it. When we focus on lifestyle medicine, we gain control because it helps us to break apart how we eat, move, connect, rest, and what we expose ourselves to, so that we can optimize our living potential (not just survival).

With its teachings, I like to encourage the overstanding that the body is a temple, designed to host breath, purpose, and divine presence. When we’re crowded with chronic pain or internal chaos, it can be harder to feel aligned with the higher rhythm.

It is my personal belief that true healing of disease happens when you honor your temple. And with this ministry, I hope to support you with that so that you can finally uncover your true healing potential.
