    Ep. 29 Fix your Hormones with Integrative Medicine

    Dr. Elena Alawa, osteopathic board-certified physician in internal medicine, functional medicine, and bioidentical hormone therapy shares tips on how to embrace a natural lifestyle, prioritise  gut health, and treat chronic illness in a more holistic way. The idea is not to diss conventional medicine but to integrate holistic and naturopathic medicine. We also discuss the difference in male and female physicians in treating women’s health issues.  Guest Bio:  I suffered with freezing frontal migraines with transitory loss of vision, mood swings rivaling tornados, and panic attacks I have never experienced before. After a neurology evaluation, a brain MRI and many serum tests, I was told that I am probably going through early perimenopause and it’s just ‘normal’ to experience these symptoms, after all, we women are blessed with so many things we are taught to take in stride. So, I embarked on a personal journey to further my medical training and find out the why’s and the how’s to help my transition. Through the training I received and the skills I acquired, I was able to regain my own self and now, in turn, I am able to help you.   Guest Links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/truehealthsolutionsclinic?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Website: https://truehealthsolutionsclinic.com/?fbclid=PAAaZtmUI1XkFXZ9iB8oJ5Xcl4Q2lpHC7e7-Esa3Ne-Kj9vh-SZfW_MMCBWws_aem_th_AbIbtcjYw0OzROKUJePFJBLkjdCOcTA0J-YtqF7yVxT1cJcrdFtPG4TdLXnIazzn3Q8  Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/DrElenaAlawaDO?_rdr  Email: dr.elena@truehealthsolutionsclinic.com  Inflamed Sisters Thriving Summit and Gala, September 23,2023:  https://nurselovesessentials.com/ist-summit-and-gala/  Host: Catina Morrison is a registered nurse, Chronic Illness Coach and Founder and CEO of Nurse Loves Essentials LLC.

    “You have rheumatoid arthritis? But you’re so young?!”  Has this been your journey? Cheryl Crow was just 20 years old when she was diagnosed with RA. She was in college and the captain of her soccer team, until one day a number of mysterious and seemingly unconnected symptoms started showing up.  Cheryl talks us through her diagnosis and treatment journey, postpartum depression,  acceptance and commitment therapy and how she’s choosing to thrive now.  Guest Bio:  My name is Cheryl Crow and I have had rheumatoid arthritis since I turned twenty years old.

    Ep. 26 Becoming a Champion in Advocacy

    Do you have anxiety every time you go to a doctor's appointment because you feel that your symptoms will be dismissed and you won’t be listened to?  That was Erika’s initial experience until she was able to find her voice and advocate for herself confidently. In this episode we discuss her journey to diagnosis and why it was important to her. Erika also shares her top tips on how to become a self advocate. She also gets very vulnerable and expresses how she turned her passion into purpose and wrote her first children’s book, Adalane Plays Many Ways, a book about managing the ups and downs of doing life with someone experiencing chronic pain.  Guest Bio:  Chronic Pain and Writing Adalene After years of ankle injuries, surgeries, appointments, and physical therapy, I've had to accept that chronic pain is a part of my story. Prior to this acceptance, I had done everything right --following the advice of medical practitioners, seeking additional advice and recommendations, completing my exercises at home and gaining strength in physical therapy, and advocating for myself in countless appointments. Several years ago I heard from a couple of different specialists that my ankle is as good as it's going to get. While crushing to accept, it gave me freedom to finally look ahead, instead of trying to get back to the Erika I used to be. Navigating a dynamic disability is filled with ups and downs. It's constant work to accept limitations, invite others into understanding, and take ongoing and active measures to rest. I wrote Adalene Plays Many Ways when I couldn't find a story out there that reflected some of my own experiences, and I wanted to invite my youngest friends (my niece and nephews) into understanding. I invite you to read it, and welcome your feedback. My hope is that this story helps people feel a little more seen. And maybe along the way we'll promote inclusion. Thanks for joining me!   Guest Links: Instagram: https://instagram.com/erikajoysneath?igshid=YjNmNGQ3MDY=  Website + Get your Copy of Adalene Plays Many Ways: https://erikajoysneath.com/?fbclid=PAAaaUz3YreSbFos82YdOF0IM9b21H8Iv1FI7yncLnZjMt5dZ3qE4zL5oqA6U  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087907120542   Host: Catina Morrison is a registered nurse, Chronic Illness Coach and Founder and CEO of Nurse Loves Essentials LLC.

    Ep.24 The Need-To-Know Guide for Traveling with a Chronic Illness

    As a chronic illness warrior, have you ever tried to go somewhere and realise it’s not accessible to you? What able bodied people often don’t realise is that their view of accessibility is very different to that of a person with disabilities. All people, regardless of ability, deserve to live a fulfilling life. Jessica Stephens serves the chronic illness community through her travel service, The Chronic Concierge. In this episode, Jessica talks us through how she plans memorable experiences for her clients. She also opens up about her journey to being diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses and how travel brought her joy. Guest Bio: Jessica Stephens was diagnosed with chronic conditions after struggling for years with her health. She felt like the world got... smaller. Things that she used to do without a thought suddenly became nearly impossible to do without rigorous planning and modification. It was then that the idea for The Chronic Concierge was born. All people, regardless of ability, deserve to live a fulfilling life. Our company helps those with chronic conditions, disabilities, and mobility impairments enjoy their lives. We provide information on accessible places, outings, and products for those who may not know what is available to them in terms of accommodations and accessibility. We provide a la carte services to plan events for you and your group, and will also work with those who have friends or loved ones with accessibility needs and are not sure where to turn.
