                I’ve learned a lot along the way as a thyroid patient, patient advocate, and health coach about what to expect from those conventional doctor appointments.

                             A healing mindset is like the gatekeeper to your healing journey. If you are in a stuck mindset, it’s difficult even to begin to heal and start feeling better. That’s why I’m so happy to explore this topic with a very special guest: Eileen Laird of Phoenix Helix, and the Phoenix Helix Podcast. 

                            Eileen’s latest book, Healing Mindset: A Guide to the Mind-Body Connection for People with Autoimmune Disease, gives us practical ways to cultivate a healing mindset, in a collection of over 96 techniques we can discover, learn about, and apply as needed. 

                             

                            We'll Discuss:

                            • Eileen's healing journey with rapid and severe onset RA
                            • Using the mind-body connection to cope with pain, fear, and other difficulties
                            • How Eileen defines a healing mindset and why it's important
                            • The importance of self-compassion on the healing journey
                            • Some of the scientifically-proven benefits of mind-body medicine
                            • Why many of us neglect this aspect of our healing
                            • Some of Eileen's favorite mind-body techniques

                                Chicken Cilantro takes the cake as far as cilantro-centric cookery goes. An entire bunch goes into the pot and bathes pre-browned chicken pieces until the meat is tender enough to pull from the bone with a fork.

                                There are so many reasons why cilantro is good for those of us with thyroid disease. Did you know it can help flush the body of toxic metals like mercury and lead?

                                Before we get cooking we'll discuss this and some of the other thyroid-healthy highlights of this delicious, family-friendly recipe.
