82// 5 Reasons Autoimmune Diagnoses Don't Have to Be Scary

Have you ever felt like your illness or condition was “too hard” for a health practitioner to handle?

Does your diagnosis ever feel like a life sentence? Haunting you everywhere you go, yet invisible to those around you?

Have you ever wished you just DIDN’T have the disease, illness, or even the body you had?

If so, you are like many of our clients we have worked with.

And I understand, I’ve been there. I’ve asked God why I had the body I did, what I did wrong to get here, or why I couldn’t have a different body.

Yet along the pathway to my internal healing, I have found that having a chronic illness or autoimmune diagnosis is actually not as scary as I once thought it to be.

I’m not as stuck or as powerless as I used to believe. My body (and myself) is actually a GIFT! To myself, to others, and to the world.

The best thing is - our clients are learning the same things for themselves every day.

How is this happening?

On today’s episode, I am going to share with you 5 reasons that your autoimmune diagnosis or chronic illness doesn’t have to be scary OR overwhelming - even if it sometimes feels like it is.

If you have any Autoimmune Disease, including:

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Crohn's

  • Ulcerative Colitis

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Endometriosis

  • Interstitial Cystitis

Then this episode is for you!

Have you ever felt like in your diet was a puzzle piece you were trying to make fit - and just didn’t?

Have you ever felt that you weren’t sure what foods would get you the healthy results you want?

That is why I brought in my friend Haleh Olsen, Certified Nutritionist, to talk with us about food. Haleh has a less common skill among nutritionists, and that is - reading lab results.

Haleh has worked with patients with cancer, autoimmune disorders, and other forms of trauma such as traumatic brain injuries because SHE HERSELF has gone through that!
