There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want. But there is something worth examining when that list becomes the reason you stop being curious about the person standing right in front of you.

But this moment. The one where the cage you didn't even realize you'd been living in, the one built from years of survival, of pushing through, of white-knuckling your way forward, finally swings open. And you just stand there. At the edge. Unsure whether to fly.

In Endobiogeny, the system of medicine I practice, we don’t ask: are you within the range? We ask: what does this person’s terrain need to function well? We look at the relationships between hormones, not just their individual values. We look at your nervous system’s tone.
