BEYOND THE MENTAL HEALTH LABEL
- Reducing Depression
-
Relieving Anxiety
- Managing Stress
This will be SURPISING to you, but I’ll say it gently so I hope you can hear it:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Enough time has passed with you struggling with feeling like you’re not good enough, or that you still have to achieve more in order to “be ok”.
Enough of your life has gone by with you being limited by your intense fears, limitations, and symptoms.
Enough restless nights and stressed-out mornings have happened after lying in bed worrying or over-thinking
Enough attempts have been made at covering up the dissatisfaction and stress of your life.
It’s time to throw in the towel of the effort, time, struggle, and suffering you’ve been battling, and finally dive into the deep pool of mental health recovery that can come from committing to your own healing in a critical way.
Do you want to
put an end to...
- Feeling bad about yourself or not good enough
- Feeling not worthy
-
Having no energy or motivation
-
Sleeping and eating poorly
-
Low confidence
- Feeling paralyzed by anxiety
-

“Dr. Chris really understands mental struggles. She combines a deep sense of empathy with a vast scientific knowledge to move beyond your current limits. From day one, I felt a deep sense of hope that I could follow her program and see great improvement. Months later, the tools are helping me thrive.” -SF
Not wanting to commit to a program, or not being able to choose between options
I know it can feel scary to contemplate actually committing to a program like this- it might feel so much easier to keep it all inside and just keep holding it together. You can tack on a smile and say “just a little longer” and not draw attention to yourself, while still doing nothing to actually address the deepening well of stress, worry, and that awful, growing gut feeling that something is wrong.
But burying the stress and doubt deeper only means it may come out or express itself in another more serious way later on. It may be easier to come up with a reason why you can’t or shouldn’t commit right now, but trading short-term uncertainty for long-term suffering is not the way to long-lasting inner peace. Having the bravery to face and improve the root causes in the here and now is what will grow a better present and a better future. Instead of suppressing what you are feeling it is better to express it in a safe container, held by a compassionate practitioner like Dr. Chris, ND.
Money: The cost of NOT taking care of your mental health, is far greater than the financial INVESTMENT you'll make in my program.
Sometimes it can be hard to invest money in something intangible and unmeasurable like satisfaction or relief from your mental health struggles. It’s hard to know how to value that, when we’re so good at judging and evaluating the value of almost everything else, including our time.
But as the best poets have always said, the most valuable and precious things in life are not things. They are the feelings we experience as we go through life. The ability to connect, live life fully, and expand our own boundaries past the limited view we have of ourselves. To grow, to be happy and find joy on the inside.
This investment is a kick-start towards the most valuable changes that you could ever make in your life: freeing the limitations of fear, stress, worry, doubt, self-criticism, and anger. It is a relief from the most restricting shackles that keep you from the full, embodied and beautiful life that’s out there for you, one beyond the label of a diagnosis.
This is information and guidance that you cannot find in a doctor’s office, nor on the internet, nor through any other means. This is tested, researched, vetted, and proven help for your unique problems, and that is worth much more than money. It’s worth your time, your energy, and your whole-hearted attention.
I know these obstacles because I used to tell myself every single one of them as well.
I used to make excuses that I wasn't “bad enough" to get help, that I was still functioning (while my eye was twitching and my sleepless nights were driving me up the wall), I was fine, really. But, I wasn't.
I was there, treading water, and sinking at the same time. Because all my stress was adding up, and it eventually came out in new, more unpredictable ways than ever before.
I was also spending money on all the other efforts to get by without having to really turn
towards it. I was there, treading water, and sinking at the same time. Because all my stress was
adding up, and it eventually came out in new, more unpredictable ways than ever before.
The earlier and stronger we invest in our health – now – the easier and gentler
the process will be.
My Purpose...
I am on a mission to share and help others like you.
It is human nature to create as many OBSTACLES as we can, in order to avoid
taking the steps we need to FEEL BETTER.
I know this FIRST HAND because I am guilty of this too!
MEET DR. CHRIS BJORNDAL, ND
I was a master at putting on a happy face, even right before and after I attempted suicide. Yes, deep suffering can have a shiny mask that fools many, sometimes even fools ourselves into thinking everything is ok, that we can keep this up. This was the case for me. Despite being depressed for a decade, I pursued career and outward success while denying my growing feelings of low self-worth, unworthiness, and despair.
I pushed things so deep down that when I reached out for help I was met with blank stares of disbelief and when I was really struggling, I found police handcuffs, straitjackets, injections of antipsychotics and isolation in hospital rubber rooms.
I was driven to the point of utter hopelessness with the denial of my suffering, both from myself due to the stigma of mental illness, and from the system’s inability to compassionately guide me towards wellness. I was met with rigidity, judgment, blame, and regret. Nowhere did I find a guide, someone who had experienced what I was dealing with and survived, and recovered.
It is my wish, more than anything, to save you from that stress. The system failed me in my journey, and I have recovered my life and dedicated it to saving others from the same long road I traveled. I know that there are safer, uplifting, and reliable paths toward wellness that can steer clear of the deep desperation and despair that I felt.
You can walk the path to mental wellness with me as your guide.

The Nuts and Bolts of Feeling Good
This first module explores a helpful overview of neurotransmitters, hormones and organs of detoxification. I want you to be empowered, and that starts with being informed. You will learn the nuts and bolts (and science) of what’s going on in the brain and the body, so you will have a deeper appreciation of all the treatments to follow. This is an important place to begin because I will teach you how to put your health back in your hands.

How the body detoxifies things it doesn’t need

Why symptoms start showing up when these processes are impaired (and why it looks different for everyone)

This diet plan (complete with recipes, shoppings lists, nutritional analysis and guiding information) will set you off on a path to a healthier relationship with food that will lift your mood and support brain function, forming a foundation for the rest of the program.

Because we all know that exercise and sleep are good for us, but we all need support and a helping hand in sticking to a routine and keeping it going strong.
Taming Your Thoughts
This module begins to dive into some of the most important content - how to manage one's thoughts. With these skills, you will learn to shift unhealthy thought patterns and build your own unique healthy thought patterns, free from the weight of criticism, fear, and shame.

- Identify and reduce reactive moments
-
Loosen the grip that emotions have on you - you will not be at their mercy!
- Blossom deeper, more satisfying emotions of contentment and satisfaction
"I always felt incomplete and inadequate after typical therapy sessions. There was always a thread of dependency built. But when I reviewed Dr. Chris’ course, I could sense the years of research and hard work Dr. Chris put into it. Such a course could not have been created by a person who has not personally experienced mental health challenges. This is the best investment one can make to take back control of one’s emotional and mental well-being. I am very grateful to Dr. Chris for designing this course which can impact so many lives. This is the best investment one can make to take back control of one’s emotional and mental well-being. I am very grateful to Dr. Chris for designing this course which can impact so many lives." - AM
Setting Winning Boundaries
Now that you’ve begun working on emotions, this module explores how to continue that work in relationship with others.

Life Without a Story Line
Building on the foundation of working with our thoughts and emotions, this session guides participants in learning to work with automatic reactions and behaviours that contribute to mental health concerns. Emotional avoidance through anger, denial, distraction, addiction, and other ways are discussed in terms of recognition and management. Participants are invited to learn what it would be like to live
“life without a story line”.

-
Create strategic, step-wise goals for achieving your mental health goals
-
Cultivate hopefulness and resilience for the inevitable slip-ups and disappointments that life can bring
Environmental Medicine
This is an important one - because as much as we can work on ourselves, we need to surround ourselves with a clean, healthy environment (physically, mentally and emotionally) as well as clean air, water, and food. Learn the science of how environmental toxins affect mental health and how to detoxify and live a clean life!
The Bigger Picture
In this module we wrap everything up in practices for compassion, intuition, trust, and a renewed sense of spirit that will carry you forward. This is what will strengthen resilience and support long-term benefits from this program.
- Real self-compassion (that doesn’t feel fake!)
-
Deepen curiosity and openness to a deeper spiritual healing
- Strengthen your resilience muscle
MOVE BEYOND

What are others saying?
I really want to thank you! I now have a freedom that I never thought I would experience. All the tension and negativity I had towards my extended family is all gone. I am free! There are no words for the freedom you have walked me through. Years of therapy to help me with my issues with my extended family and in just 7
weeks, you have given me a freedom I never thought possible. It really is the most amazing feeling on the planet. But it’s not just this
situation. I feel more free today than I ever have on a day to day basis. I feel hope that I really can kick mental illness in the ass. I just need to say THANK YOU! With much LOVE”
