Jackie explores recovery themes in today's episode, as she identifies five key themes that emerge across different healing journeys: consistency in daily practices, mindset that fosters healing, understanding what's happening in your body, building personal strategies, and creating a healing environment.

• Consistency means showing up daily for practices that help, even when progress feels invisible
• Mindset isn't about toxic positivity but creating biochemical conditions for healing through belief in improvement
• Understanding your body's responses and triggers makes interventions more effective and reduces fear
• Building strategies involves creating a personalized toolkit of what actually works for your unique body
• Creating a healing environment means being mindful about what you consume—food, media, thoughts
• Mental health support is crucial, not because illness is psychological but because chronic illness affects mental wellbeing
• Small 1% improvements compound over time into significant progress
• Recovery isn't about finding one miracle cure but assembling your own unique puzzle pieces
