Welcome back to THE PICKLE JAR for episode 100.  WOW...unbelievable the PICKLE JAR in a short period of time has reached 100 episodes.  Haley's fight with Addison's disease is the best way to commemorate this accomplishment.

Haley was diagnosed with Addison's disease just over 4 years ago at the age of 21 when she was near death in the ICU after being found unconscious. Thankfully a diagnosis was made and Haley was given the gift of life.  More obstacles and illness have confronted her in the last 4 years but she has the EYE OF THE TIGER...and she is a fighter.  She is not letting illness stop her from living.  With unconditional love and support from her family and friends, she is proving she is a champion.

Her story will LIGHT YOUR FIRE.  Her story will INSPIRE you. Her story will give you HOPE.

Welcome back to the PICKLE JAR.  March 14th is Jill's 12-year anniversary of being diagnosed with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. In this episode, she introduces herself, briefly shares her journey with our new listeners, and shares her perspective on the 12 years of living with AI.  Despite the fears, she would not change her journey.  She tries as best as possible to see the gifts this illness has given her.  Gifts she would not change.  By opening her heart (with a few tears) she hopes it can inspire you to move forward with your illness.

Welcome back into the PICKLE JAR.  Host Jill is having a LOW CORTISOL day and opening up about the reality of her anxiety and depression that occurs with low cortisol.   She is trying to take deep breaths and get through the day as best as she can.  The mental health effects of this illness are real and usually not talked about.  But together we can learn ways to manage these symptoms and validate that our experiences are REAL.

Welcome into the PICKLE JAR..just a quick message of happiness.  The PICKLE JAR is all about CONNECTING and moving FORWARD with our illness.  I encourage you to listen to the February 26, 2023 episode on MIND PUMP: THE TRUTH ABOUT INFLAMMATION with Dr. Stephen Carbral.  

WOW....where does the happiness happen...at about minute 10 when Dr. Cabral mentions the importance of gradually adding stress to the body and how cautious people with ADDISON'S need to be.  What I LOVED and that brought me JOY as you can hear in his tone the understanding he has for people living every day with adrenal insufficiency.  Calling the body living with high levels of inflammation (which I believe we do) WAR ZONES.

Great tips and advice on lessening the inflammation in your body through nutrition, and finding balance through exercise to live healthier lives.  Worth the listen to and I encourage you to take away what works for you now to move forward and improve your quality of life.

NOW let's ZOOM....I love hearing from you and if you would like I would love to connect with you individually on ZOOM.  Whatever you want to talk about...ADDISON'S, being a guest, podcast ideas etc.

OR join me FRIDAY MARCH 3rd at 7 pm EST - PICKLE PARTY - group zoom chat.  Hope to see you there.
