Author name: Tina

I am writing this to share with all of you. Some of you have never met me personally and some of you have been with me since I was a teeny weeny Tina. As a child, I inherited my father’s dream of doctoring and have spent the last 40+ years living a dream that was partially mine and definitely also designed to please my parents. English was not favorite class, even though I devoured books and LOVE LOVE LOVE to read. In the past, I have written 2 short children’s books and some chapters and pages in collective anthologies, but on FEBRUARY 13th, I am delivering to the world my first real solo book. The book –like my podcast from which the book was curated—is called YOUR HEALING PLAYGROUND: How Play Pleasure and Connection unlock your body’s power to heal. In it, I have put to paper some of my thoughts on healing –sharing some of my deepest beliefs with the public. I am celebrating this accomplishment and letting go of attachment of how this book will be received. Simultaneously, I want to share these thoughts and lessons with as many of you as possible and hope to encourage individuals to feel empowered to listen within, to choose your own unique healing path and to celebrate the fullness of life always—living well even if feeling ill. Dripping with pleasure, play and joy always, not fearing what life may bring tomorrow: deeply trusting that all of life (the hills and valleys both) are just new experiences that prove your aliveness.

  Most of us were taught that life is something to survive. That pleasure is a reward. That play is childish. That safety comes after success. That joy is fragile. And yet… Here is the truth I’ve learned after three decades as a physician, fertility specialist, integrative medicine doctor, coach, and human living inside a very real body: You are not just human. You are a living ecosystem. You are made of: experiences sensations emotions thoughts food microbes memories relationships stories energy Your DNA is only a small piece of who you are. In fact, if we drew your human DNA next to the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live in and on you, your “human” part would be about the size of your heart. You are not a machine. You are a humanoid — a miraculous collaboration between biology, emotion, energy, environment, and meaning. And every second of your life is being created by one thing: 👉 the conversation between your inner world and your outer world. Your sensations become thoughts. Your thoughts become stories. Your stories become emotional states. Your emotional states become choices. Your choices become habits. Your habits become your life. Which means… Your life is not an accident. It is a design. Sometimes unconscious. Sometimes inherited. Sometimes written in fear. But always editable. Why Some People Survive the Impossible — and Others Feel Trapped I have watched patients survive war, illness, infertility, grief, trauma, and loss… and still find meaning, creativity, connection, and even joy. And I have watched others become frozen by circumstances that look smaller from the outside. The difference is not strength. Not intelligence. Not luck. It is the story they live inside. Some people are taught: Life is hard Play is irresponsible Safety is rare Pleasure must be earned Desire is dangerous Money is scarce Rest is lazy Others learn something radically different: That life is meant to be experienced. That safety is learnable. That pleasure is medicine. That play is not a luxury — it is biology. Pleasure, Play & Safety Are Not Rewards. They Are Requirements. Your nervous system cannot heal when it is terrified. Your immune system cannot regenerate when you are constantly bracing. Your creativity cannot flow when your body is living in fight, flight, freeze, or please. And your dreams cannot grow in a body that does not feel safe enough to receive them. Safety softens the body. Softness allows sensation. Sensation awakens pleasure. Pleasure liberates energy. Energy fuels imagination. Imagination creates new choices. And new choices quietly redesign your future. This is not philosophy. This is neurobiology. This is microbiology. This is trauma science. This is ancient wisdom. This is modern medicine. You Can Be Alive Even When You Are Dying One of the deepest truths I know: You can feel well even when you have a disease. You can live fully even when you are grieving. You can experience beauty even inside uncertainty. You can continue loving even after loss. Pain is human. Suffering is optional. Not because pain disappears… …but because meaning can coexist with pain. And play, pleasure, and safety give us the nervous-system capacity to keep choosing life — even when life hurts. This Is Why I Created My Masterclass So many of us were never taught: what safety feels like in the body how to regulate our nervous system how to listen to sensation how to befriend our emotions how to work with our biology instead of against it how to design a life instead of merely surviving one We learned to perform. To please. To endure. To push. To override. But not to feel. Not to play. Not to trust the intelligence inside our own cells. An Invitation I created a masterclass for those who feel: tired of surviving curious about a different way disconnected from joy successful but empty sensitive in a harsh world burned out stuck grieving healing or quietly longing for more It is called: Design Your Playground: Heal Your Life And it’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you were before the world taught you to contract. The cost is $1.80. Not because your healing is cheap. But because life is sacred. And 18 — chai — means life. Let this be a small sacred commitment to yourself. To your body. To your joy. To your becoming.

I have spent 30 years following my dad’s footsteps in the trenches as a physicianBut as a my mother’s child, I am naturally also a teacher And truth be told– the little girl in me ( whose voice was silenced and suppressed and separated from feeling her body) now realizes as she integrates emotion and body and voice–(head, heart and hooha) that she delights in being in front of people teaching, speaking, motivating, and providing a platform for transformation and evolution. Taming our nervous systems and alchemizing muck into fertilizer is a critical ingredient Surfing the surfboard of life delighting in the calm and the waves of the ocean; riding the seesaw between our nervous systems–squealing with excitement on both the ups and downs of life–this is a secret to a pleasure filled purpose filled life. I would love to speak and share my thoughts with others who are interested in my thoughts–so please share and let’s see where this ride takes me. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for any contribution to my DREAMS. WarmlyALL MY LOVE 💝💝💝Dr Tina VISUALIZING A NEW WORLD( “burning man facsimile” that lasts more than one week in the dusty desert of Nevada) And as the light grows and we move towards the light, we must accept that darkness will accompany light, as the hills and the valleys always come together but the light is always more powerful–and in the deepest darkness– light is always hidden but always present in our universe because energy is indeed light and sound. the past, present and future all converge onto the NOW.and my dream is that I can learn always to embrace the NOW not live in the past or fear the fuure.not let my past determine my future.Not let the rules of millenia dictate the how life should be for the predictable future. simultaneously strengthen our souls and our wings in our cocoons–and break free NOW to re-establish a society and civilization that mimics the nature of my observations:Every thing a microcosm and macrocosm of everything elseWhere diversity reigns and monocultures are banished as they are the seeds to destruction and devastation. Where the DNA is the blueprint yes, the scaffolding, the structure ( THE NATURE), the masculine of the cell but it is only one part of the family–KING BUT NOT RULER Just as powerful as the DNA, is the cell membrane–THAT QUEEN BEE–that fatty membrane that surrounds the nucleus and keeps that DNA in its place, as one part of the cell and not the dictator–And this CELL MEMBRANCE controls the NURTURE of the cell–choreographing the movement and electrical energetic channels across the membrane which controls what comes in and leaves the cell. This cell membrane–much like the feminine who has extra fat around her pelvis to feed her young when needed, this cell membrane chooses what the cell eats and poops, and who are the friends that stop by to play. In this way our cells are held together and much stronger when the energy and the form are dancing in harmony. But even this is not complete without the generator–the cell needs a generator–the cells need energy and the mitochondria is this bastion of energy production. Passed down from the maternal lineage, it is its own ancient bacterial form–reminding us –we are more than human, we are an ecosystem. ENERGY comes from the collaboration of ancient and modern, of bacteria and human, of nature and nurture, of structure and form and perhaps of inner child and parent.( or inner child and wise sage self). Pleasure and turn on is our aliveness and we must celebrate our turn on– which is present in energy moving, in the electricity of our cells.We must prioritize pleasure to keep the lights on in the body. And in this modelWe celebrate play and pleasure–and we derive play and pleasure from rest and from activity. From eating and digesting, but also from excretion in the
