Welcome to this episode of AiArthritis Voices 360, featuring a conversation we had on World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day (AiArthritis Day) with our Honorary Chair, Angela Durazo - race car driver, award-winning actress, and a person living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Angela was asked to be our Honorary Chair, in part, because of her RA and AUTO racing connection, but more importantly, she exemplifies what it means to "shift gears" when AiArthritis takes away your identity. Angela's triathlon ambitions came to a halt four years after she was diagnosed with RA after her 24th birthday. Multiple surgeries and much physical therapy later, she was determined to find a way to reinvent herself in a way that truly represented her core being. "I used my pain and I turned it into power," she says in this heartfelt conversation. "You too can reinvent yourself in a way that represents you, that aligns with your core values." Many of us have experienced the 'Who am I Now?' phenomenon, as these diseases challenge our capabilities to continue doing some of the things we once loved - things that we identify with as personal identifiers. The invisibility of these diseases adds to the frustration. But we can shift gears, we can find our new normals, all without having to change who we are as a person. About AngelaAngela Durazo made history in 2018 as the first female to enter the F4 US Championships. Not only did Durazo compete in the 37-car field of the USF4 series, she forged her F4 talent with a 1st place win in the Formula IMR Challenge series. Durazo also secured two 2ndplace podiums of the 6 race F4 Winter Championships series and she took home a notable 5th place in the Fp4 F4 West Coast Championships. She is also a 2x award winning Actress as well as a former professional Triathlete (Sprint and Olympic distance). We would like to add, Angela is a real person, a human being who experiences disease challenges like the rest of the community. We have all heard, "But you look great!" - as a public figure she hears it more than others ... and with that comes judgment (even within our own disease community). At AiArthritis, we believe in celebrating our achievements while showing the reality of these diseases. That's why we chose Angela - she is not afraid to show the bad days, too. Thank you, Angela. If you would like to donate to this show, so we can continue inviting patient voices "to the table" as equal stakeholders in the conversations that will solve our most pressing problems, we thank you!

We are what we eat and what we eat DOES have an effect on our overall body performance and wellness. What are you eating today and how is it contributing nutrients to fuel body functions? Are you eating things that are attacking your inner body systems? My guest is Triathelete and former model Angela Durazo who had several health challenges in her early 20's. She had to find a way to improve her health as all the physicians could not bring her back to optimum health, she had to find her path. A gluten free and sugar free diet is the core of her plan and it is serving her well. Do you hear all the media buzz on gluten/sugar free diets and just can't wrap your head around the benefits? Angela is here to proclaim the benefits and share her story of survival against the odds.For more information about Angela, visit her website: www.angeladurazo.com
