This podcast explores health and wellness through the lens of autoimmune disease—multiple sclerosis (MS) and others—diving into how challenges like fatigue, brain fog, flares, and other symptoms related to the nervous system, inflammation, and mitochondria can be supported by healthy habits in food, movement, sleep, and rest, while fostering consistency, effective self-care, and a resilient mindset. If you’ve read the bestseller Atomic Habits by James Clear and still don’t have the healthy habits you want, this show is for you. Adjacent to functional medicine, holistic health, the AIP diet, and the Wahls Protocol, the podcast offers guidance from a health and wellness coach to help those navigating chronic illness feel better and thrive.
