Becoming Immune Confident

If you suffer from tummy troubles or are confused about how to approach eating to support your immune system health, this is a must-listen episode!  

In this podcast, you will learn about a non-restrictive approach to anti-inflammatory eating from my good friend and partner, Jenifer.

Jenifer Tharani is a registered dietitian and daughter of a chronic illness warrior. Jenifer believes that eating healthy does not have to be boring, time-consuming, or expensive. She is extremely passionate about helping women with chronic illness adopt an anti-inflammatory, gut-healing eating pattern without unwarranted food eliminations.

She doesn’t believe in diets, instead of making small sustainable lifestyle changes to help you find a balance in your everyday life, including trying to keep your favorite foods in the mix!

Jenifer’s mantra is “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime”. Her nutrition coaching programs empower you with nutrition education, provide you with accountability to take action and experience transformations, and an inclusive community of women going through the same struggles so you don't feel alone.

One of the most common questions I get asked is  "Do I have a food allergy, intolerance or sensitivity?"

I was able to share with the 1st Annual Sjogren's Summit group earlier this month how I think through the various symptoms associated with digestive distress and what we can do to sort out what is going on.

Time and energy are a huge issue when you are dealing with a chronic illness. Time and energy scarcity is a big fear I see amongst chronic illness folks, myself included. And understandably so, when your body is betraying you, and you're running on a battery that won't fully charge like that old iPhone, it's really natural for us to flip from thriving mode back into survival mode.

I want to challenge your thoughts and your perceptions on time. Our thoughts about time are what give immense power over our lives, and the results we see in our lives. And I'm going to make the case for this in this podcast.

An environmental health scientist and dietitian by training, Dr. Jenna Hua is passionate about the environment, public health, and everything food.

Jenna holds a BS in Nutrition and an MPH and PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from UC Berkeley, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford Medicine. Frustrated by the lack of data for how harmful chemicals (like BPA, phthalates, and parabens) from plastics and everyday products affect our health and clinical outcomes, and the absence of a personalized approach to mitigate harmful chemical exposures, Jenna set out on a mission to change these.

She founded Million Marker, a health-tech startup dedicated to empowering everyone with the data and tools to determine how the products they use, the food they eat, the water they drink negatively or positively influence their health. Million Marker helps people understand what chemicals are inside of them—and then provides simple solutions for quickly reducing harmful chemicals through mail-in test kits, lifestyle audits, product recommendations, and counseling.

Fatigue is a symptom that can be in rest frustrating for patients and physicians alike. It is a very prominent symptom in Sjögren’s syndrome and many other systemic diseases. Rarely does it have one simple cause but more often it requires a multifocal approach. Dr. Wada shares her thinking about fatigue as both physician and Sjogren’s patient. 

Dr. Kara Wada is an Assistant Professor of Allergy/Immunology with experiences of over 10 years teaching medical trainees about misbehaving immune systems. Currently, she serves as Associate Fellowship Program Director at the Ohio State University, Founder/CEO of The Crunchy Allergist and host of the Success with Sjogren’s Podcast. Her advocacy work focuses on improving the physician-patient relationship, improving awareness around invisible illnesses, and improving consumer protections in the personal care and cosmetics industry. 

She coaches clients using both life and health coaching techniques to break out of maladaptive and self-sabatoging habits to break out of the fatigue and fog and find clarity and confidence in her 30 days to Redefining Success Program.
