It’s easy to start identifying with the label you’ve been given, whether it's endometriosis, autoimmune disease, or chronic illness. But what if that’s not who you are?

In this episode, I’m getting real about how I used to let my diagnosis define me, and how shifting my identity and mindset completely transformed my healing journey. You’ll learn:

• Why your language matters more than you think
• How your subconscious mind responds to your thoughts
• A powerful journaling tool to shift your focus toward what you do want
• Why focusing on your diagnosis might be keeping you stuck

Plus, a reminder you may not hear enough: You are so much more than your symptoms.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Megan Lyons, doctor of clinical nutrition, founder of The Lyons’ Share Wellness, podcast host, and author. We connected at a nutrition conference after I attended her eye-opening talk on inflammation. From her wealth of experience helping busy professionals and health enthusiasts transform their health, Megan brings an empowering, practical, and compassionate approach to the world of wellness.

If you’ve ever wondered what inflammation really is, why it matters, and how to begin untangling it in your own body, this episode is for you! We’re breaking down everything from root causes to how to support inflammation, and so much more.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear:

• Dr. Megan Lyons’ personal journey from a demanding consulting career into the world of clinical nutrition
• What inflammation actually is (hint: not all inflammation is bad!)
• The difference between acute and chronic inflammation, and how symptoms can show up differently for everyone
• Common signs, symptoms, and even lab markers that can clue you in to inflammatory issues
• Foundational causes of inflammation, including dietary factors, gut health, hormone imbalances, and lifestyle stressors
• Why our modern lifestyle and the Standard American Diet predispose us to more chronic inflammation
• How to approach anti-inflammatory eating and living without falling into the trap of perfectionism
• Megan’s “seesaw” analogy to help you find a sustainable, healthy balance
• The connection between stress, social connection, and physical inflammation, plus the science behind mind-body healing
• The role of gut health in overall wellness, and why symptoms aren’t always just digestive
• The importance of tuning into your body and letting go of the “shoulds” so you can find an individualized path to wellness
• Simple, actionable microhabits you can start today to tip the scales toward health

Megan also shares some of her top resources, favorite lab tests, and how to find a supportive, compassionate approach in your healing journey. You won’t want to miss her perspective on creating true, lasting wellness from the inside out.
