Tools to THRIVE with Autoimmune Disease | Interview with Eileen Laird

Thriving with an autoimmune disease (or several) isn't just about food. There are other areas, like processing the wild emotions of fear, anxiety, and grief around your disease, trying to keep your immune system from staying in "flight-or-flight" by being in even low-level stress all of the time, and understanding the powerful effect your thoughts can have not only on whether medications will actually work, but also on your digestion, habits, and even symptoms!!

In this special conversation with Eileen Laird of the blog and podcast, Phoenix Helix, we discuss all of this and more.

Some of the things we talked about:
- Her story of how rapid onset rheumatoid arthritis completely changed her life and what she did to cope with all of the feelings of fear as well as symptoms
- How she changed her attitude towards using medication for her RA
- Why she wrote her new book, Healing Mindset, and how thoughts, stress, and mindset can manifest into physical symptoms
- Why it's important to have several methods to try in you "Autoimmune Disease Toolbox"
- The importance of acknowledging and processing any grief around your diagnosis, loss of favorite foods, your old life, etc
- How to use the RAIN technique to recognize and understand how your feelings affect you and know what you need in that moment
- and she also shares 3 powerful techniques that are easy to incorporate into your life but will make a huge difference
