Customer Reviews
Really appreciate the autoimmune series
I just discovered your series and I have been on a 2 year journey to find out more about my autoimmune issues and to get a diagnosis. Thank you for doing these sessions. Really helpful and supportive.
New Listener
I found your episode about having an undiagnosable autoimmune disease so helpful. It is so easy for me to go into panic mode wanting to figure out what is wrong. I really appreciated your perspective and listening immediately made me feel calmer about this whole situation. Thank you
Pieces of the Picture
An outstanding, thoughtful series that led me to ask my doctor new questions about my own conditions. Thank you
