Every now and then, someone stumbles across my page or reads a comment I’ve made and reaches out to ask:
“What did you do to heal yourself from multiple autoimmune diseases?”
First, let me say this: healing is a journey. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it’s not an overnight fix. But through trial, error, and a lot of self-discovery, I’ve found practices that have transformed my health—body, mind, and soul.
What Worked for Me
Here are the key steps I’ve taken on my journey to healing:
- Mindset Matters Most 🧠
- Learning to love myself and allowing myself to truly enjoy food when I indulge.
- Embracing the idea of moderation—eating strategically and viewing food as fuel for my body rather than just a source of enjoyment.
- Move Naturally 🚶♀️
- Incorporating activity into my daily life has been a game-changer.
- Simple changes like walking to work, taking the stairs, parking farther away, and even jogging to and from parking spots keep my body guessing and active.
- Yard work, manual labor, and other everyday activities have become part of my wellness routine.
- Mind-Body Practices 🌬️
- Deep breathing, cold showers, yoga, grounding, and meditation have helped me connect with my body, reduce stress, and foster a sense of calm.
- Nutrient-Rich Eating 🥗
- Green smoothies are a staple in my diet! (Get the recipe HERE!)
- Intermittent fasting—but done intuitively, not aggressively.
- At times, I’ve followed the Candida diet and the Daniel fast, which were helpful during specific periods of my journey.
- Gratitude Practice 💖
- Cultivating gratitude daily has shifted my perspective, helping me focus on the blessings in my life rather than the challenges.
- Journaling 📝
- Writing down my thoughts, emotions, and goals has been a therapeutic way to process and reflect on my journey.
- Strengthening My Body 💪
- While I don’t have a strict workout routine, I incorporate squats, kettlebells, and other simple exercises into my week to build strength and maintain mobility.
The Biggest Game-Changer
If I had to credit one thing for my healing, it would be this: a complete shift in mindset.
Changing how I think about my health, my body, and my life has been the foundation of everything. It’s what allowed me to embrace the practices above and stay consistent on my journey.
