Positively Anti-Inflammatory

035. Do you find your thoughts telling you, “nothing ever works out for me” or “What did I do wrong”? Have you ever stopped yourself and contemplated whether or not these thoughts are actually true? Join me today to consider how and why this thinking may not be true. In today’s episode we get curious, examine our inner dialogue without judgment, and reflect on the reasoning and notion that maybe -- nothing has gone wrong.

034. How would you describe your relationship with your body? Even though you may feel frustrated, or even betrayed, by your body, the truth is, your body is always working to keep you healthy. But if you feel disconnected from or discouraged by your body, it’s difficult to accept and view it as an ally. Tune in today as I discuss how to be in communication with your body and how to view it as an ally. I recommend journal prompts to assist you in examining your beliefs about your body. If your relationship with your body could use some attention and care, this episode is for you.

Tune in to hear my real thoughts about "cheat days." The truth is, I think cheat days can be harmful and unhelpful. Instead, I advocate for mindful, conscious eating. I believe in learning to listen to our body, discovering what nourishes us, and becoming friends with food -- at every meal and every day of the week.

030. Today I get personal and tell my story of why and how I went gluten and dairy free in 2012. I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis in the year 2000 and the medication I was on kept me in remission for a decade, but when the meds stopped working and the chronic pain and fatigue kicked into high gear, I knew I needed to make significant changes. Listen as I  share my journey of dealing with a chronic illness and my experience with dietary changes in order to tame inflammation and bring about healing in my body. I hope today’s episode will inspire you as you navigate your own health and healing journey.

029. How do you approach change? Do you view it as an all or nothing experience and create high, perhaps unrealistic, expectations for yourself? Perhaps fear of failure holds you back? Or do you view change as something that happens slowly over time with a “slow and steady wins the race” attitude? The truth is, for most of us, change brings up lots of different emotions. Join me today as I offer a fresh perspective on the topic of change and share 3 ground rules that will allow for an authentic, life-long positive approach to embracing change.

028. When life throws you a curveball how do you react? Do you think things are happening to you or for you?

Why? What does feeling in control bring us? In today’s episode I explore this topic and share 7 things you can control right now.
