In this episode of the Autoimmune Simplified Podcast we chat with Dr. Andrea Proulx about a topic that most autoimmune sufferers have a hard time with - EXERCISE! 

Dr. Andrea is a Naturopathic Doctor and Ultimate Frisbee Silver Medalist for Team Canada who doesn’t let her autoimmune disease stand in her way … and she wants to help you find your power!

Her goal is to provide inspiration to women everywhere, especially women struggling with chronic illness and autoimmune disorders, to keep going, to connect with others and to never give up! In this episode we dive into how to use our feminine strength and hormones (that’s right - our cycle)  to our advantage. We talk about tracking, how to listen to our bodies and the very important recovery piece - all of this to help you optimize your physical performance.

Whether you’re a professional athlete or someone that just wants to get moving again after having suffered too long with a chronic illness or autoimmune disorder, this episode is for you.

About Dr. Andrea Proulx, ND: 

I believe that a woman who exercises can change the world!

I am a naturopathic doctor with nearly 15 years clinical experience and decades of competitive sport adventures. I am passionate about inspiring women to feel strong in their body and mind leading to increased confidence and courage to make lasting changes to their health. I am here to show women how to strategically implement changes so they can access more energy, increased sports performance and be that amazing person they want (and deserve) to be.

I believe that exercise builds confidence, nurtures courage, grows resiliency and enables connection. Connection with your own body. Connection with others and their struggles. Connection with the environment. Connection with your whole mental, emotional, purposeful self.

I believe that sport and exercise teach us to connect and listen to our body and build the mental and emotional skills to overcome challenges and obstacles. Exercise can be a connection to our true selves.

Through my diverse experiences in sport and extensive medical training, I help women develop the skills to listen to and interpret their body’s signals to create change in their health and communities – and change the world!
