Dr Melissa Milanak - Optimize Your Sleep

Many health crises do arrive without warning. This isn’t a criticism of those who feel blindsided - because part of life will always be outside our control. But there’s also a great deal we can influence.

This AI-generated conversation, based on Birch Cove writing by Founder, Sarah Parkins, invites reflection on the power of intentional living - not as a guarantee, but as a way to build resilience, vitality, and agency in the face of the unknown.

It honors the life-saving role of hospitals while acknowledging their purpose: to stabilize, not to sustain long-term health. If you’re ready to engage with your body not from fear, but from respect and curiosity - this conversation is for you.

Because while life can be unpredictable, it’s not a lottery. And you’re not powerless.
