EPISODE 8.2 STOP SAYING YOU'RE OKAY - Stress and its effects - Pt.2
"Now, let us embark on a deeper exploration of how to navigate the complexities of illness and the invaluable lessons I gleaned throughout my personal journey. I found myself attempting to uncover the subtle, hidden fragments of what had gone awry within my body—what had shifted and enabled this inflammatory condition to take root so profoundly. I was confronted with the unsettling realization that my own stubbornness, coupled with an unwavering determination to maintain independence and self...
During the break, I found myself constantly reflecting on the importance of addressing stress. It's a challenging and often uncomfortable topic, one that doesn't exactly spark excitement. I know it’s not the most glamorous subject, but the act of decluttering, reducing stress, and creating a clearer, more organized environment are truly foundational steps in our journey toward genuine wellness. And that’s exactly the path I want to guide you all on—toward a place of true well-being. I wholehe...

The joyfull diet
"When we hear about diets, we often concern ourselves with the question, "Oh my goodness, what am I going to have to give up?" We fear giving up things like our favorite cheese, sugar (which means alcohol), or garlic, because, let’s face it, the smell of frying garlic is one of life’s biggest joys. But can I tell you something? When you give up certain items from your diet, and your body begins to sing with joy, it's because that item, which has caused your body to struggle for so long, is fi...

Episode 5 SLEEP
Sleep plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of individuals with autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to inflammation and various symptoms. Quality sleep is vital for regulating the immune system and reducing inflammation, as it helps maintain a balanced immune response. During sleep, the body undergoes repair and regeneration processes, which are particularly important for those with autoimmune d...

Ep4 MOVE
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
I thought this quote was appropriate as we discuss movement and exercise in our lives, starting with the concept that it is just a single step.
In episode 3; I mentioned exercise and movement interchangeably. But I want to clarify that distinction. Exercise is fabulous; it increases the oxygen flow in our body, triggers chemical releases like dopamine, suppresses cortisol, aids digestion, helps with muscle tone, and is crucial for maintaining bone density. However, exercise often embodies the concepts of high energy, high performance, high achievement, and competition.
I want to separate that from movement, which is a gentler way of supporting the body—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Episode3. WHERE TO BEGIN YOUR HEALING?
"The beginning is the most important part of the work." - Plato
Keeping a diary of disease symptoms and daily routines helps identify patterns, triggers, and improvements in health. It aids in effective communication with healthcare providers, supports personalised treatment plans, and enhances self-management strategies for better health outcomes. Journaling aids self-awareness, tracks progress and highlights goal achievement.

Episode 1. MY STORY
'You may not always end up where you thought you were going, But you will always end up where you were meant to be' – Jessica Taylor
Telling your story is crucial for emotional healing and understanding. It validates your experiences, connects you with others who may relate, and educates those who want to support you. It empowers you to take control of your narrative, fostering resilience and providing a sense of purpose through sharing personal struggles and triumphs.
