In this episode I speak with Francesca Eldridge about her struggles living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for over 20 years and what it took to conquer this pervasive mental illness. Francesca speaks openly about how her life was turned upside down from her invasive thoughts and how this took a toll on her and her relationships. She now describes herself as a survivor and is teaching others how to use nutrition therapy as one of the ways to overcome OCD.
