I'm here with a brand new podcast, and in this episode, you will hear more about my journey with my health and functional medicine practice, what big changes are in the works, and what to expect from Chasing Chickens.
I named the program “Chasing Chickens” because with chronic illness we are always chasing answers. Is it environment, genetics, food, toxins, mold, omg I could list a million things. Was it the chicken or the egg that started it all? We will probably never know.
But what I do know is that we are going to get real, get messy, very raw.
...dealing with the guilt, shame, and overwhelm of it all
...how we manage expectations of our body and mind
...how we have compassion fatigue from caring for ourselves and others
...worried that we may never feel good again
...and how scary it is to navigate this all on your own
This is my love letter to my people who are also chronically ill.

How I Got Sick: Dr. Alison's Story
Welcome back to chasing chickens where we are keeping wellness weird and connecting over how crappy chronic illness is.
Today I will share my story of my illness, because this is the base of this podcast. How I got sick, how my life was destroyed and has changed, and all the lessons I have learned.
My editor read my story but didn't know if it was real or fiction and said “If it did happen in real life, that is shameful on their [the doctor's] part and incredibly unprofessional. If it did not, then it is a bit too rash to be believable; why would professional doctors and nurses act like this?”.... well it happened and here is my story.
