Have you ever considered what turns the immune system against our own body tissues? 

Is there more to it than just our genes, nutrition, stress and environmental triggers? How deep do we have to dig to find and solve our true root cause?

 

In this episode of The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast we dive into the deep and fascinating topic of the unconscious mind with Dr. Tonia Winchester, Naturopathic Doctor, Neurolinguistic Programming Coach and Timeline Therapy Practitioner.

 

After years of playing root cause detective and feeling somewhat dissatisfied with what naturopathic medicine alone could offer, Dr. Winchester decided to harness the power of her patient’s subconscious mind to clear hidden root causes, address past trauma and literally rewire their minds and bodies for success, restoring balance and harmony in their immune systems. 

 

Don’t think it’s possible? Don’t let your limiting beliefs stand in the way of your own health and healing, be sure to listen in!

Today we dive into the lifestyle topic of toxins, personal care and cleaning products with Kara Vogt of Wise Oak Soapery.

 

Kara shares about not only her personal journey with Hashimoto’s, fibromyalgia, eczema, psoriasis, asthma and chemical sensitivity and how the AIP and Paleo helped her turn things around, but how her son’s severe case of eczema as an infant led her to start her own business creating safe, natural products.

About Kara

Kara and her son both have eczema and asthma. As a true autoimmune warrior, Kara took healing into her own hands researching and advocating for better care for both herself and her family. While she found the AIP and Paleo diets to be helpful in addressing her Hashimoto’s, Fibromyalgia and inverse acne she instinctively knew that what we choose to put on our skin and breathe in air is just as important as the foods we choose to nourish our bodies. Dissatisfied with products on the market, Kara started her own business making natural candles, soaps and skincare products for those with sensitive skin and chemical sensitivities.

We all know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and nutrition, but this is especially true for those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. 

Different guts tolerate foods differently with this condition so it’s imperative that we’re addressing each individual’s unique needs according to their body, backgrounds, tastes, and personal goals.

In this episode of The Autoimmune Simplified Podcast, we chat with Danielle Graffen about nutritional strategies that those with autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease can realistically and practically apply in their lives. 

Having this information and establishing achievable goals will empower you to meet your nutritional needs, manage your symptoms, and feel better!

About Laura Clowdus, RN, AIP Certified Coach & Certified Wellness Life Coach

 

After years working as a Registered Nurse, Laura Clowdus became the patient when she was diagnosed with her autoimmune disease, ankylosing spondylitis. She quickly learned that the conventional treatment of autoimmune disease prioritized managing symptoms instead of healing the body, so she began researching other options. She has now been living symptom free for five years by implementing lifestyle changes that significantly decrease her inflammation. Throughout her healing journey, she noticed the impact stress had on her body and struggled to figure out how to get control of it. Life coaching provided the answers she needed. Now, as a Certified Wellness Life Coach, she teaches autoimmune women how to confidently heal their minds and bodies so they can feel amazing again.
