When it comes to autoimmune disease, I believe we should focus on progress, not perfection. Although we’d rather be symptom-free, flare-ups happen. Having a “Flare-Up Tool Kit” in place anytime symptoms come up can help guide you through without falling into overwhelm. Tune into this video to learn the 5 components of my flare-up toolkit!

I was sitting down to write some new content recently, and I just felt really stuck and really blocked. I kept thinking to myself, “What do I want to share? What do I want to say?”. And when I asked myself these questions, what kept coming through to me was: just be human, just bring the human.

Check out this post for a personal update from me on some big changes that have happened in my life over the past few months, an update on my own healing journey, some exciting updates in my work, and how I’m planning to show up online.

Are you someone that eats really quickly or is always eating on the go? Maybe you eat when you’re stressed or you often end up eating between meetings or at your computer?

Breathwork is an amazing healing tool for getting ready to eat and putting our body in a place where it's able to digest. One of my favorite ways to use breathwork to support digestion is to use “four, seven, eight” breathing for digestion. This video will take you through a breathing exercise so you can try this practice for yourself!

In this post we look at giving ourselves permission to rest, why we have so much resistance to resting, and how it can actually feel really scary to just slow down. Rest doesn’t necessarily have to mean taking a day or week off but instead is something that we can simply build into small moments in our daily lives. I also share common beliefs that tend to hinder many of us from resting. This is one of the most important pillars of healing that I do in my work with my clients and a big way we start to create a life that feels healing, where our interventions can take root.

I've been working with clients for YEARS to support their immune systems and live well with chronic illness and autoimmunity, and with every single person, we work through three pillars of autoimmune health to really support true healing. When we work with these three pillars it really gives us a framework and structure to work within that can be personalized to you and what your needs are. This post dives deeper into my 3 pillars of autoimmune health and the tools & knowledge you can use to support your body in both empowered and sustainable ways.

We'll also discuss things you should think about when you're choosing a mushroom supplement or adding them to your cooking or recipes.

Have you or someone you know taken acid-blocking drugs, particularly Proton Pump Inhibitors? If you are, you’re certainly not alone. In this post, I discuss the dangers of PPIs and everything you need to know about these acid-reducing drugs including the effects they can have on our bodies.

On any healing journey, there are going to be ups and downs. Although they never feel good, symptoms, bad days, and flare ups are to be expected. I want you to have this pep talk in your back pocket so that anytime you're having a bad symptom day or experiencing a flare up, you can pull it out, give it a listen, know that you're supported, and remember that this too shall pass.

In this episode of The Live Well Podcast, I’m joined by Ean Wood who lives a life dedicated to personal development. We dive deeper into how our reality is shaped by our beliefs, and that through this understanding we can have the ability to co-create our lives. We’ll also explore how to uncover areas of your life where you might currently be blocked, and how to use this awareness to move through those blocks.

Having a hard time making behavior changes that stick? The first step is connecting to your big WHY. So often when we start going down the path of changing our diet, our behaviors, or bringing in lifestyle interventions, we get caught up in the "doing" part. But really, one of the most important pieces in creating lasting habits and behavior changes is understanding why you're even doing these things in the first place.

In this post, we’ll go deeper into connecting to your why and how this allows you to look beyond just the external factors to make sustainable and aligned changes.

In today’s episode of The Live Well Podcast, we are joined by Kathleen Booker. Kathleen is passionate about Conscious Connected Breathwork therapy.

On this episode of The Live Well Podcast, I’ll be speaking with sisters Lauren Lee-Crane & Catherine Lee, founders of Semaine Health, about their experience with endometriosis and reducing period pain.

Murlene Joseph is a Registered Nurse and Certified Health Coach. Because of her own experience navigating chronic illness, she began her coaching business Myrrh Wellness in order to support others struggling on their own healing journeys.

In this episode of The Live Well Podcast, we speak about the importance of mindset on your healing journey, and how to cultivate self-acceptance and self-love in order to heal.

When dealing with chronic illness, it’s important to investigate the “root cause” of what’s going on in the body. Often times treatments for autoimmune disease involve medications or interventions to manage or suppress symptoms, but they don’t always dig down to the root to see what’s going on at a deeper level. When we’re working in functional medicine and looking at things through a functional nutrition or functional medicine lens, it really is all about identifying the root cause of disease and understanding how your personal history influences disease expression. The most important tool in the functional medicine toolkit is the functional timeline. This tool allows us to put our presenting illness or symptoms in context with our entire life, and helps to identify the roots of illness to move towards resolution. In this post, we’ll look at the functional timeline and the ATMs, or the antecedents, triggers, and mediators of health!

If you’re feeling like your daily wellness routines are a chore or something that’s becoming really overwhelming then you may be experiencing wellness burnout. I define wellness burnout as a state of increased stress and overwhelm that comes from the constant pursuit of health and wellness practices. In this post, I share the importance of having a toolkit and a few questions that you can use as soon as you feel that your body needs it.

I’m sharing some useful tips that have helped me to support my energy and increase productivity while working from home. To me, this is a very timely topic as many of us have shifted to a work-from-home environment over the past few months. I made this transition myself and had to create new habits & routines when I went from working in a hospital as an RN to taking on this business and work full-time from home.

These work from home practices revolve around personal boundaries, routines, transitions, and activities that will help you support yourself and your energy. Especially if working from home is feeling overwhelming, this post is for you!

I share a lot about my experience with chronic illness, but it’s been some time since I’ve shared what I do for my health on a daily basis! In this post, I’m sharing the things that I do daily to help keep myself healthy - physically, mentally, and emotionally. These are some of my favorite healthcare routines that have stuck with me over the years. Read on to get a glimpse of what my day looks like, from meditation to nutrition, and what I do to wind down in the evening.

The nuts and seeds in this gluten-free bread provide great vitamins and nutrients combined with fiber to support a healthy digestive system so it’s a real upgrade from a piece of bread high in refined carbohydrates. It’s all held together without flour with the magic of psyllium seed husks! Psyllium seed husks contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. The soluble fiber dissolves in water and soothes the digestive tract with its mucilaginous properties, while the insoluble fiber acts like a broom to sweep the the colon. My family loves this bread and I make a loaf every 1-2 weeks to have on hand! I really hope you enjoy it!

Check out this short video for tips on how to reclaim your morning to reduce your stress!

In order to cultivate sustainability in our healing journey, what we really need to do is become experts at listening to what our bodies are telling us.

I am so happy to have Audrey Sutton Mills on this episode of The Live Well podcast to speak about the collective fear and uncertainty that many of us might be facing in these times. Audrey’s purpose is to help you uncover your light and embody your worth, knowing that you are enough and you matter. I can think of no better person to speak into the big emotions that are coming up collectively right now, and how we can use simple tools to help bring us back to ourselves and find more calm and ease.

If you've been experiencing stress and uncertainty recently around everything that's happening with COVID-19, I don't want you to feel like you have to go through it alone.
