Hello friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one: episode 200 🎉
This is a short solo episode where I reflect on my own healing journey and share the biggest mistakes I made along the way, especially during the height of my autoimmune symptoms. This episode is less about regret and more about perspective, compassion, and helping you avoid some of the same pitfalls if you’re currently in a season of healing.
In this episode, I share what happened behind the scenes when my lupus markers were positive, my nervous system was completely fried, and my body was very clearly asking for safety – even if I didn’t fully understand it at the time.
This episode is especially for you if you feel like you’ve “tried everything,” are overwhelmed by information online, or feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of doing more but not really feeling better.
200: Autoimmune Healing, Nervous System Safety, and the Biggest Mistakes I Made on My Health Journey
This is what we talk about:
Why chasing body composition when your body is screaming for help can actually delay healing
The truth about exercise intolerance and why pushing harder isn’t always the answer
The Mistake of Taking Supplements Without Testing (and Why More Isn’t Better)
How probiotics and popular wellness products can backfire if your gut isn’t ready
Why Lab Testing Was a Turning Point in My Healing (And Why I Wish I’d Done It Sooner)
Why cold plunge, fasting, caffeine and red light therapy weren’t what my nervous system needed at that moment
How to Stay Up All Night Google’s symptoms left my body in a fight-or-flight battle
The connection between hypervigilance, cortisol, inflammation and stalled healing
A reminder that you are not behind, broken or failing if healing takes time
This episode is such an honest reminder that healing isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing right things at the right time, in a way that supports your nervous system rather than overwhelms it.
If you are currently in the middle of a healing journey, know that you are not alone. I truly believe that our experiences make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate on the other side.

If any of my fellow healthcare professionals are looking for a different way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this information to heal yourself and then heal others, which I think is a beautiful mission. You can absolutely join in if you don’t currently work in the health or fitness industry; many IHPs don’t start out on this path. They are friends who want to learn more about health and wellness, and share this information with those they love. You can do this as a passion, or start a completely new career.
