Cure Chronic: The Chronic Movement

Chelsea is living with #Multiplesclerosis and it’s amazing how our diseases can change our paths, but maybe this is our real path that we are supposed to be on. Chelsea wanted to be a doctor but her MS seemed to pull her in a different direction. Her education and experience in medicine allowed her to have more empathy to patients and an understanding to the medical field, but she is now a teacher in chemistry, to help impact the community! She has been able to balance her career and her health and wellbeing, therefore assisting in her overall health over the years. Now she is into body building and power lifting!

Being misdiagnosed for years, being told it was in her head, the tests were coming up ‘normal’ Rachel started losing hope, and fast. She lost weight and even told her parents that if she kept on this path, she was going to die, and she didn’t know why. It wasn’t until one day that she was brought to a naturopath and with a whopping $500 consult fee, she took the chance and thankfully she did, because he asked her the golden questions “have you ever been diagnosed with Lyme Disease” Listen to her tell her story and be sure to connect with her on Instagram: Healingwithrach

Emily has #Graves Disease and she is a Certified Nutrition Specialist, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Lactation Counsellor, so she understands how diet is so important when it comes to disease, but we are not really given a lot of information about diet! It’s up to us to get a team that will teach us how to eat properly for a healthy lifestyle, especially living with disease. Emily's approach to nutrition explores the relationship between diet, biological systems, lifestyle, and environment to target optimal whole-body function through diet and lifestyle changes.

Ethan is an inspirational soul, living each day present with love and gratitude, while living with the ups and downs of Stage IV brain cancer, Glioblastoma.

Before his encounter with cancer, Ethan was traveling the world, teaching Yoga, offering intuitive coaching, studying Dance, Writing Music, Practicing Massage & more. He's now had 4 head surgeries. The first surgery was a brain surgery in October, 2019. This was followed by 7 weeks of intensive radiation and low dose chemo. Although Ethan felt strongly to treat his condition as holistically as possible - it was very important to receive these immediate therapies to halt this life threatening condition.

Ethan's vision is to inspire others with severe conditions like his - by sharing his story, Fully healing from Glioblastoma, cultivating radiant health on all levels, manifesting his inner gifts (writing, yoga, art, dance, music, healing & coaching work), and help others evolve into the highest version of themselves.
