Our Guiding Beliefs
Mulberry Wellness & Direct Primary Care is the overflow of deeply-held beliefs about what life is meant for, how it’s best-lived, and best-cared for. Here’s a glimpse into the values that fill our journals and fuel our days. Their ultimate aim: to help you get well before you get sick.
Our humanity is a precious gift to prioritize and protect.
The best things in life are free, humble, and universal: a laugh, a hug, a beautiful view, a good night’s sleep. Make room in your life for that which money can’t buy and status can’t attain.
To be well, a human requires peace, love, belonging, meaning, rest, fun, nature, activity, nutrition, clean air and clean water. When given what they need, the body, mind, and soul work together to activate healing pathways toward wellness.
True wellness is a tall order.
When your body speaks, listen.
Fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, poor sleep, food cravings, weight gain, weight loss, stress, irritability, and anxiety are warning signs. When you experience them, take note and take the time to get well before you get sick.
Real food comes from farms, not factories.
The nourishing interaction between food and body is complex. But factory-made food simply doesn’t nourish our bodies the way real food does. Nutrition science may be complicated, but fundamental principles of eating need not be. True satisfaction is within reach.
Human health depends on two microbiomes.
The first is in the soil. Only healthy soil can grow nutritious food. The second is in our gut. Protecting both is paramount.
Use them or spread them, and they will find their way into your body. A house divided against itself can’t stand. One can’t poison and kill their way to health.
Toxins are toxic.
Quick fixes have long-term consequences.
Only by considering the full lifecycle of any new technology can we understand its true benefits and harms. Today’s “advancements” are often tomorrow’s environmental and health catastrophes. The best antidote to coercion is contemplation.
No other person, technology, or power matches God’s audacious claim. He’s embedded given our bodies and his world healing forces. Even death can bring life and nourishment to something else. Despite promising evolution, the last 130 years of human "advancement" have left the world scarred and contaminated. To experience increasing life and abundance, link yourself to the Source of Life who makes all things new.
God makes all things new.
Every journey to healing is unique.
Nothing we do will hand you wellness. Only you can pursue a healthy life and do the hard work required to obtain it. But you don’t have to do it alone. Once on the trail, you’ll find yourself in good company. Each of us is on our own healing journey, happy to share what we’ve learned. Our chief goal is to cheer you on, support you, coach you, and answer your questions along the way.
Sick doesn’t mean stuck.
Sickness reaches us all. When it touches you, we’ll be here to help you navigate your diagnosis and treatment. There’s a time and place for medical intervention. When used appropriately, it can prolong and save lives. Modern versus holistic medicine is not a binary choice. A variety of tools can assist in the healing process.
Discovery isn’t done.
We relentlessly seek additional perspectives and explore new discoveries to expand our arsenal of approaches, treatments, and cures.
