    EPISODE 8.1: STOP SAYING YOU'RE OKAY! How stress affects dis-ease Pt.1

    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 wholeheartedly believe that this episode could very well be one of the most pivotal I’ll ever create. “Don’t believe every worried thought you have.

    Episode 6: THE JOYFUL 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 finally gone." A healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, impacting digestion, immunity, and mental health. It regulates nutrient absorption, supports the immune system, and influences mood through the gut-brain connection. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome promotes vitality, reduces inflammation, and fosters resilience against disease, enhancing both physical and emotional health.

    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 disorders to help heal damaged tissues. Moreover, adequate sleep can reduce stress levels, which is known to exacerbate autoimmune conditions. Poor sleep, on the other hand, can lead to a weakened immune system, increased inflammation, and flare-ups of autoimmune symptoms. Thus, ensuring sufficient, restful sleep is essential for managing autoimmune diseases, enhancing overall quality of life, and preventing the worsening of symptoms. Prioritizing good sleep hygiene can make a significant difference in managing these chronic conditions. "The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it." - C.C.

    Episode 4: 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. #MultipleSclerosisSymptoms #AutoimmuneDiseaseTreatments #ChronicInflammation #Remedies #MSDiagnosis #FlareUps #MSAndExercise #InflammationAndDiet #HealingAutoimmuneDisease #InflammationAndStress #MSAndLifestyle #ChronicInflammation #PainManagement #MSAndMeditation #ImprovingAutoimmune #Recovery #Fatigue #RestorativeSleep #SleepHygiene #ChronicIllness #AutoimmuneDiet #Anti-InflammatoryFoods #EliminationDiet #GutHealth #PaleoDiet #LeakyGut #HealingDiet #HealingFoods #Supplements #StressManagement #AutoimmuneHealing #MSAndStress #AutoimmuneDiseaseAndStress #MentalHealth #MindfulnessAndHealing #MS #ChronicFatigue #Autoimmune #Inflammation #HealingAndStress #ReducingAnxiety #InflammationSuperhighway  #Love #SelfLove
