Autoimmune Simplified

Episode #56 is Part 2 of Autoimmune Detox .

This month we are diving into our own ability to detox, how toxins impact our health, genes, and immune systems and how we can support our bodies.

The number one question I'm asked is SHOULD I DO A DETOX? And my answer might surprise you…

Make sure you tune into part one, episode 54, where we introduce how our bodies detox, where toxins come from (guess what we make a lot of them ourselves!), and how we can support the natural process.

In today's episode, we go deeper…

• A quick review of our 3 phases of detoxification
• Oversensitive to chemicals? Is your phase 1 Overactive & underactive?
• Nutrients required to support your detox process
• I don't methylate - Introduction to Methylation & Glutathione
• What should I be doing?

This episode was amazing!! I sat down and talked with Dr. Bonnie Nedrow, ND, the president of the National Association of Environmental Medicine and best-selling author. Dr. Bonnie has a wealth of knowledge that she shares and her passion is contagious. She touched so many of the key points of how toxins impact our immune system, hormones, thyroid, plus so much more along with strategies to overcome them. Dr. Bonni also shares with us information on her newest best-selling book: metabolic flexibility, which I've just started reading and it's amazing.

This was such a powerful conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What is the connection between Hormones - Stress & Mindset?

We dive into the top reason we have a hormone imbalance and adrenal fatigue, which impact a significant population of us trying to fix our autoimmune. This conversation is true root cause medicine, and is the missing piece in the healing journey.

And she walks us through the steps that she uses with her coaching clients with her C.A.L.M. method to help remove these common blocks and overcome anxiety and overwhelm.

Today's episode is we talk about how the modern woman's brain is impacting health, leading to more burnout, autoimmune conditions, and an overall feeling of overwhelmed, and exhausted. We are exploring high-functioning anxiety today. Many women experience high functioning anxiety without realizing it since they don't necessarily meet the conventional definition of anxiety. Either way, anxiety is pervasive with nearly a quarter of women worldwide experiencing it. We know that for many with an autoimmune condition this hand in -hand. Ellen Wong the founder of The Joy Avenue is our special guest today. Her zone of genius is to help anxious women create a sustainable strategy that takes into account the physical, mental, behavioural, and emotional toll of anxiety in our busy lives. Ellen dives into

• Difference between high functioning anxiety and anxiety
• How does high functioning anxiety play out in our lives
• What's the single biggest mistake practitioners make when working with patients with anxiety
• What is negative self-talk, how does it relate to high functioning anxiety and how can you start identifying yours

Ellen provides so much insight and strategies to get us all started on this journey to a calmer life with moments of pure joy woven in. Ellen's BIO: After years of living with high-functioning anxiety, Ellen eventually reached a tipping point after two hospitalizations related to burnout. Although she appeared like she "had it all together", she struggled internally with never-ending negative self-talk, difficulty saying no to others, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Determined to find a solution to high-functioning anxiety, Ellen combined her clinical expertise, love for women's psychology and even traveled to the happiest countries on earth to learn about happiness. As a Naturopathic Doctor and founder of The Joy Avenue, Ellen works with women to transform their overwhelm, stress and anxiousness into calm, confidence, mental peace, and joy. But what she's most passionate about is helping women create joy in every aspect of their lives by unleashing the power of a healthy body and optimized mind.

We are starting the year off with a deep dive into genetics and how they impact our health. We all know that Autoimmune does have a genetic component but to what extent and what influences it.

This episode is a perfect way to take an overall inventory of all the things that can influence your health and your genetics. This inventory is the list of some of the questions I ask in my private visits with clients I work with that you can dive into right now!

As we move into a New Year Dr. Danby, ND shares how she sets intentions and goals to achieve success.

Grab a cup of tea, your journal, and get ready to set goals that align with your purpose and dreams.

In today's episode, I am joined by a colleague of mine, Dr. Tracey Teasdale, ND. Dr, Tracey shares her incredible story then we dive deep into exercise, exercise and the immune system, and pain management.

• We explore how pain doesn't always mean tissue damage even though our brain thinks so. Pain can lead to fear of movement and avoidance because it's uncomfortable, but that doesn't always mean it's bad.
• We dive into how exercise can have an analgesic and an immune modulator effect on the body. And how exercise has the means to improve self-confidence, self-efficacy, and trust in your body
• We talk about the exercise stress vs recovery time model and how we can use that to help safely progress with our exercise plans.

This was a great conversation with Dr. Teadale, ND and I'm excited to share it with you.
