Host Emily Johnson welcomes Jamie Boder, personal trainer, yoga teacher and director of Yoga for AS, who was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis and Crohn's disease over a decade ago. Jamie had been skateboarding since he was nine, and at diagnosis he could hardly walk.

YouTube yoga became his way back, and today he helps people with inflammatory arthritis build strength, mobility and confidence through flares, remission and everyday life. In this conversation Jamie opens up about the grief of diagnosis, explains why arthritis is not an injury, shares practical ways to start moving safely, and guides us through a short breathing practice. Honest, practical and full of hope. Note: This episode includes a short guided breathing exercise. Please listen to the safety note before you join in.

    #45 Not in Your Head: Psychologist Dr Sula Windgassen on Healing Through Mind and Body

    Episode 45: The Live Well with Arthritis Podcast #45 Not in Your Head: Psychologist Dr Sula Windgassen on Healing Through Mind and Body Have you ever been told your symptoms are “all in your head”? Host Emily Johnson welcomes Dr Sula Windgassen, a leading health psychologist, researcher and author of It’s All In Your Body: A Practical Roadmap to Healing Through Mind-Body Connection. Sula knows this territory first-hand. After university, recurring bladder infections turned into persistent pain and symptoms that test after test couldn’t explain, leaving her depressed and without hope. A mindfulness course, explored alongside her psychiatrist dad, began to change how she related to her body and, over time, her symptoms eased, setting her on the path to a Master’s and PhD at King’s College London, research into mindfulness for multiple sclerosis and IBS, and over 30 peer-reviewed papers. In this conversation, Sula explains why it is never “all in your head”, how stress and emotions show up physically in the body, and how to rebuild trust in your body whether you’ve been dismissed, newly diagnosed or living with a chronic condition for years. Compassionate, grounded in science and full of hope. Topics covered: Sula’s Story and the Science From Patient to Psychologist Unexplained symptoms, a first mindfulness body scan, and the moment her sense of humour came backThe Biopsychosocial Model Why it doesn’t mean your illness is psychological, and how allostatic load explains the wear and tear of ongoing stressTop-Down, Bottom-Up and Bioplasticity Working with both mind and body, and the body’s remarkable capacity to change Breaking the Symptom Spiral The Symptom Spiral How pain, thoughts, emotions and behaviour feed each other, and where you have choicesStill Waiting for Answers? Sula’s two-track plan for advocating for yourself while looking after yourself in the meantimeRebuilding Trust in Your Body Curiosity, non-reactivity, noticing your nervous system states, and why the basics are underrated Grief, Identity and Simply Being The Grief of a Diagnosis Why grief isn’t linear, and why going back and forth doesn’t mean going backwardsYou Are Not Your Illness Two overlapping circles, the three phases of adjustment, and reconnecting with your valuesHuman Doings Why rest is productive, how our phones get in the way, and Sula’s daily practice of savouring About the podcast: With a focus on reducing inflammation and improving daily life, this podcast features expert interviews, science-backed strategies, and real stories from people living with all types of arthritis.

    #44 Wheelchair to West End: Ana Villafañe on Living with RA for 30 Years

    Episode 44: The Live Well with Arthritis Podcast #44 Wheelchair to West End: Ana Villafañe on Living with RA for 30 Years One in four of us live with arthritis, so why do so many of us feel like we’re the only one? Host Emily Johnson welcomes her dear friend Ana Villafañe, the actor and singer who originated the role of Gloria Estefan in Broadway’s On Your Feet! and is now making her West End debut as Ava Gardner in Sinatra: The Musical. Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at just seven years old, Ana spent months in hospital and time in a wheelchair as a child, and was told she’d never wear heels or run. Thirty years on, and four years after a hip replacement, she opens up about the parts of RA nobody sees: years of denial, the night she told Gloria Estefan the truth, stilettos on a raked stage, and the question from her rheumatologist that changed everything: “Why don’t you think you deserve to feel good?” Raw, funny and deeply moving, this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone, and you’re going to be okay. Topics covered: Growing Up with RA Diagnosed at Seven Falling ill at the 1996 Olympics and first hearing the words 'juvenile rheumatoid arthritis'Not the Only One How summer camps for kids with arthritis and disabilities changed everythingFrom Sick Girl to Showgirl Feeling like a burden, and how singing turned 'the girl who couldn’t' into the girl who could Denial, Disclosure and the Spotlight Rebranding in LA Skipping meds, hiding flares, and dating with an invisible condition'So I Can Trust You' Telling Gloria Estefan about her RA, and eight months on Broadway without calling outBehind the Curtain Stilettos on a raked stage, compression boots, and the reality of 8 shows a week A New Hip and a New Mindset Deserving to Feel Good The question that led to a hip replacement six days after wrapping a filmVisibly Disabled Again Crutches, kindness from strangers, and walking the red carpet anywayNon-Negotiables Sleep, fuel, movement and medication, and learning to run after being told she never would About the podcast: With a focus on reducing inflammation and improving daily life, this podcast features expert interviews, science-backed strategies, and real stories from people living with all types of arthritis.

    #43 Rage into Change: Evelyn Scott on Endometriosis, Chronic Pain, and Advocacy

    Episode 43: The Live Well with Arthritis Podcast #43 Rage into Change: Evelyn Scott on Endometriosis, Chronic Pain, and Advocacy Have you ever been medically gaslit, told your pain was “normal,” or that it was all in your head? If so, this episode is for you. Host Emily Johnson welcomes Evelyn Scott, a Surrey-based academic turned women’s health advocate and author of A Bloody Scandal: How Medicine Fails Women in Pain. Evelyn lives with severe endometriosis, a condition it took fifteen years to diagnose, with symptoms dismissed from her early teens as “just a bad period.” After being failed again and again by the very systems meant to help her, and finally diagnosed by pure chance in A&E, she began sharing her story online, building a community of tens of thousands of women and discovering that gynaecological neglect is a global scandal. In this honest and empowering conversation, Evelyn opens up about medical misogyny, the real cost of years of dismissal, and the practical tools that help her advocate for herself. Whether that is writing notes before appointments, to learning that you can always say no to your doctor. Whether you live with arthritis, endometriosis, or any chronic condition where you’ve had to fight to be believed, this episode is a reminder that you are the expert of your own body, and you are not alone. Topics covered: Fighting to Be Believed Normalised From the Start Bleeding through her school uniform, being bullied, and told “everyone has periods”Fifteen Years to Diagnosis Dismissed for over a decade, “normal” scans, and a diagnosis found by chanceFinally Seen The strange relief of proof that it was never “all in her head” A Bloody Scandal Medical Misogyny “Just get pregnant,” “you’re wasting our time,” and being called hystericalWhy Women Are Failed Gynaecological neglect across the UK, US and AustraliaA Better Way Empathy-led medicine, care plans, and treating endometriosis as an inflammatory disease Advocating for Yourself You Can Say No Noting dismissals on your records and asking for second and third opinionsYour Secret Weapon Writing notes, bringing someone with you, and using PALS and your MPRest and Be Kind Painkillers, hot water bottles, therapy, and learning to trust your body again About the podcast With a focus on reducing inflammation and improving daily life, this podcast features expert interviews, science-backed strategies, and real stories from people living with all types of arthritis.

She talks about the rock-bottom flare that led her to change her diet, why she won't choose between medication and lifestyle, and how honesty, asking for help and community changed everything. She also opens up about her own ways to cope on the hard days, from nature and meditation to Epsom salt baths, and why she now tells her body she loves it every day. Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into your journey, this conversation is a gentle reminder that there's always something you can do, and that you're not alone.
