Episode Summary

What if your symptoms weren’t proof your body is broken… but messages pointing you toward what’s really going on?

In this episode, I sit down with Daniele, who was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in his early twenties. After years of flare-ups, procedures, and fear of the “incurable” label, he began questioning the conventional narrative that autoimmune disease means the body is attacking itself.

That search led him to uncover the emotional patterns behind IBD—and eight years later, he’s still symptom-free.

Together, we unpack:

• 💡 Why your body is not attacking itself—and what’s really happening with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis
• 💡 The specific emotional triggers he sees connected to IBD symptoms
• 💡 How fear and flare-ups can trap people in a vicious cycle (and how to break free)
• 💡 The role of belief, mindset, and biology in creating lasting change
• 💡 Practical first steps you can take today to start shifting your relationship with your health

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of symptoms and frustration, this conversation will give you a whole new perspective—and hope that real change is possible.

Summary:
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I still dealing with this?”—this episode is for you. I’m opening up about my own MS journey and the mindset shift that changed everything. It’s not just about nutrition or movement (yes, those matter), but the way we think, what we focus on, and what we believe about our bodies.

If you’re constantly focused on getting away from symptoms, you’re not alone—but it might be keeping you stuck. Let's shift that.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

• Why being mad at your body could be blocking your healing
• What happens when you focus on what you don’t want
• The mantra that helped me—and so many others—start seeing real shifts
• How your unconscious mind listens (and why that matters)
• What’s really possible when you start thinking differently

What I want you to know:
You’re not broken. You’re not doing it wrong. But you do have more personal power than you’ve been told. Start by asking: What do I actually want?

Try this today:
Write down 1–3 things you want more of in your life. Say them out loud. Say them often. And if you want to share them with someone who gets it, DM me on Instagram. I’d love to cheer you on.

Want help figuring out your next step?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why MS fatigue may be more about energy protection than energy production
• The connection between your nervous system, trauma, and fatigue
• How subconscious fear loops add to exhaustion
• Simple mindset shifts that create real physical impact

If you're doing all the right things—eating well, moving your body, managing stress—and you're still not seeing results, this episode is your game-changer.

Kate shares the powerful truth that your body doesn’t chase healing—it chases safety. And if your nervous system has decided that staying stuck is safer than getting better, no supplement, no protocol, and no stricter routine will fix that.

We’re going beyond surface-level solutions and diving into the MS Mindset—the emotional, subconscious, and nervous system layers that often go unspoken in chronic illness spaces.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why your nervous system may be saying "no" to healing—even if you’re saying "yes"
• The real impact of fear, trauma, and subconscious beliefs on chronic illness
• How beliefs you didn’t even know you had might be keeping symptoms alive
• The #1 mindset shift that starts to rewire resistance
• A powerful story of what happens when your body finally feels safe to change

✨ Episode Summary:

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode of the Limitless Health Podcast, Kate McDowell reconnects with former co-host Amanda Golightly to unpack the powerful—and often overlooked—role of subconscious beliefs in chronic health journeys. From being told she’d be in a wheelchair by 30, to building a career helping others rewrite their health stories, Kate shares how a single medical prediction shaped years of her life… until she took her power back.

More importantly, they offer tools to break free—like NLP, subconscious reprogramming, and belief-shifting exercises that help you reclaim your direction and well-being.

If you've ever felt like your symptoms are running the show or that you're “doing everything right” and still stuck, this episode is your reminder: you can rewrite the story.

• The real impact of suggestion from authority figures
• Simple tools to shift beliefs and emotions (including a practical challenge you can do today)

In this profound episode of Limitless Health, Kate McDowell sits down with grief recovery specialist Tammy Adams to explore an often-overlooked aspect of healing—grief.

They unpack how grief can surface during health journeys, lifestyle shifts, and personal breakthroughs. Whether you're navigating chronic illness, stepping into a healthier lifestyle, or questioning long-held beliefs, this episode brings powerful clarity and compassion to what you're feeling—and why.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Grief isn’t just about death—it’s about unmet expectations, things left unsaid, and identity shifts
• Healing can mean losing support systems or identities you once clung to
• Emotional processing is just as important as nutrition and lifestyle in your health journey
• Why awareness and journaling are foundational tools for healing
• The link between unresolved grief and long-standing physical symptoms
• The hidden grief behind the “secondary gains” of staying unwell
