Getting diagnosed with a chronic illness can feel scary and overwhelming, which can keep your nervous system dysregulated. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have had a diagnosis for a while, it's important to recognize your current nervous system state because that can impact your ability to heal. When we operate from a state of fight, flight, or freeze, it prevents us from returning to a balanced state where we experience optimal health. Learn a bit about our own journeys with nervous system regulation and what it has taken to get to where we are now with our mindset and health.---Support our podcast & help us continue supporting our listeners:https://supporter.acast.com/autoimmune-and-you---DISCOUNTS:**use code AUTOIMMUNEANDYOU for all brands**20% off Garden of Flavor organic juices: https://gardenofflavor.com 10% off Thermotex infrared heating products: https://www.thermotex.com/product-category/personal/ FREE full-size Five CBD product: https://glnk.io/1mj3/autoimmuneandyou$15 off your first 3 Paleo On-The-Go AIP meal subscription orders: https://www.paleoonthego.com---CONTACT US:Podcast:Instagram: www.instagram.com/autoimmuneandyouEmail: autoimmuneandyou@gmail.comNewsletter: https://gmail.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=4b1206bf3890e9113a2c5b430&id=5937cb2ee2Rachel Albo:Instagram: www.instagram.com/rachelalboEmail: rach.livefit@gmail.comWeb: www.rachelalbo.comErika Bustos:Instagram: www.instagram.com/just.erikabustosEmail: coacherikabustos@gmail.comWeb: www.erikabustos.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/autoimmune-and-you.

It's important to recognize when we go on autopilot on this healing journey and re-evaluate what's essential for us to live authentically. In this episode, Erika shares where she's at in her healing journey, embracing the feelings surrounding this, and the next step she's taking to evolve in a new way. In contrast, Rachel is taking a step in another direction to invest more in her healing and focus on what's truly necessary for her health, business, and healing process.

We continue our conversation from Episode 41 about various alternative treatments we have tried since we were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
