Podcasts about chronic illness

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explains what suppressive medicine is and why it's a problem. He takes on the topic of health insurance and “healthcare” in America. Are we getting what we pay for? Is our health insurance covering anything that actually helps us heal? Or are we just suppressing symptoms at the expense of true health? How many of us have hit dead ends with our current healthcare and are having to pay out of pocket to seek our own specialists? If any of this is relatable to you, this is an episode for you.  Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalityradio and @vitalitynutritionbountiful on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

The best way to describe Dr. Aditi U Joshi would be a "Telehealth Whisperer" who comes to the party with a storied history as an emergency medicine physician and former advisor to such juggernauts as the American Medical Association and Weight Watchers. The author of "Telehealth Success: How to Thrive in the New Age of Remote Care," Dr. Joshi takes us on a historical tour of the tools that underlie successful telehealth programs and practices and how everyone can implement them, including a hot take on where telehealth sometimes goes wrong and where it more likely goes right for companies, health systems, providers, and the ultimate end user, the patient.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Look, there are some things in life - a LOT of things in life - that just can't be fixed or made better, you have to figure out how you're going to live with them.   Sarah Ramey spent DECADES trying to find answers for why her body was falling apart. Her book, The Lady's Handbook for Her Mysterious Illness, describes the complex, convoluted path through conventional and alternative medicines, her frustrations with being deemed a liar and hypochondriac, and the overlapping issues of misogyny, ableism, and well meaning but unhelpful support.    If you've ever felt othered and invisible because of an illness or disability - this episode is for you. If you've ever loved someone with a chronic illness, or you're a medical provider in any capacity, this episode is 3000% for you.    And if you're grieving some other loss or hardship, you'll recognize so much of yourself in this conversation: that human desire to be seen, loved, and supported, exactly as you are.  In this episode we cover:     What it's really like having a chronic, invisible illness (and if you have one, you'll feel seen!) How truly messed up the medical system is: Sarah's years' long efforts to be believed by doctors, and at a minimum: not be overtly harmed while seeking care How does being in a female body shift your odds of being believed - for ANYTHING, but especially mysterious, chronic illnesses?  Sarah's music was featured in the hit show Wednesday, on Netflix. Can you be a successful musician and have a disability?  Why hope is a complex concept when your life is constrained by illness or disability (and why hope is still REALLY important)   We're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons.   Looking for a creative exploration of grief?

What do you get when you cross a professional wrestler, small business coffee company executive, nonprofit consultant, and rare cancer? Well, that would be the uniquely talented and inspiring unicorn that is Sean Wachter, who joined Matthew live in-studio for one hell of a conversation about how they're both somehow still alive. Well, that and much more, including a total 80s WWF throwback session to WrestleMania, a debate over Randy "Macho Man" Savage vs "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and how Galaxy Quest got it right with "Never give up. Never surrender."

Homeopath Jerry M. Kantor shares his new book, The Emotional Roots of Chronic Illness: Homeopathy for Existential Stress. Jerry M. Kantor's book explores the link between emotions and physical health. It presents diagnostic insight, successful case studies, and specific homeopathic remedies that demonstrate the connection between the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the five classical miasms of homeopathy. The book also correlates these miasms with core existential quandaries. How to change the subconscious patterns underlying chronic Illness Explains how to use prominent emotional and physical symptoms to determine the core existential stress underlying one's chronic illness • Introduces five questions linking homeopathy's five miasms and Traditional Chinese Medicine's Five Phases. • Presents homeopathic remedies connected to specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from the author's practice In addition to physical ailments, homeopathy offers remedies for existential causes of chronic illness, known as “miasms.” In his book, Jerry M. Kantor sheds light on the crucial connection between emotions and their physical impact on the body. He provides readers with diagnostic insights, case studies, and effective homeopathic remedies that can help mitigate the harmful effects of emotional imbalances. Kantor also draws parallels between the five classical miasms and the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He describes how each inborn foundational emotion serves as a tool designed to solve stress-related problems, but overuse of any one tool can lead to self-sabotaging imbalances. By identifying the default emotional response and accompanying physical symptoms, Kantor explains how one can determine the core existential stress or hereditary pattern underlying a chronic illness. The author then presents homeopathic remedies to alleviate the impact of specific existential quandaries for each of the five classical miasms and their associated physical and emotional conditions. He illustrates his points with detailed examples from his practice. We talk about The five core existential questions Existentially induced illness Inborn toolkit of emotions Homeopathic remedies and existential stress Miasma and illness Jerry M. Kantor, L.Ac., CCH, MMHS, is a faculty member of the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine and owner of Vital Force Health Care LLC, a Boston-area homeopathy and acupuncture practice. The first acupuncturist to receive an academic appointment at Harvard Medical School's Department of Anaesthesiology, Kantor is the author of Sane Asylums, Interpreting Chronic Illness, The Toxic Relationship Cure, and Autism Reversal Toolbox. He lives in Dedham, Massachusetts. https://vitalforcehealthcare.com https://rightwhalepress.com

Dr Ben Reebs, founder of the Portland Clinic of Natural health joins me on the show today and it is a brilliant look at Complex Chronic Illness and the biggest things that he's found to be helpful as a doctor. The questions I ask him are: How did you arrive at 7 laws of healing - not just for your book but in the way you practice medicine? Those laws are Vitality, Disease, Cure, Compensation, Resonance, Synergy, Intention and I'm looking forward to diving into some of them… You start your book with a quote about commitment from William H Murray and my mind went to a bit of an aha “Today, in our modern world we have to commit consciously and proactively to our health, instead of it being culturally and naturally a way of life - we have to choose it because our instinct and surrounds to help us ‘be it' are mostly gone… is this why health might feel ‘hard' to people in modern life? It can be a lot of energy to constantly swim against the tide, right? At the very start of discussing vitality you say “No one can heal you. There is only self-healing in the laws of nature”. I love this because for the main people are so disempowered in their health journeys and often forget it's an inside job and you need to find the right supporting partners to help facilitate that healing - so often I hear “I've tried everything” and they're in a really bad way, eating 4 foods, reacting to everything, inflamed, in pain all over: when someone is in that “I've tried everything” boat - what are some gentle words of wisdom to share as they look within and look to find a better way forward? You talk about a move from acute infection-style illnesses, to chronic illnesses such as autoimmune, as vitality wanes - what is the mechanism of this change in the immune system? Talking about signs and symptoms that are trying to promote balance/get our attention - how can we listen to them more effectively and act accordingly rather than medicate them to make them go away - almost feels like medicating is a part of the reason we're forgetting to speak the language of vitality/homeostasis ( outside of an SOS context for physical mental health challenges that require that short term ‘get out of crisis' to work on the long game of course) Thinking back to all those tylenols to fix the headache, instead of ‘hmm maybe it's the fragrance cloud I'm working in at the department store every day, not a Tylenol deficiency, right? Can you give us some more examples of seemingly innocent quick fixes we use, leading us down the path of potential chronic disease because we're not listening enough? At the end of the Vitality chapter you invite us to simply list 5 things that bring us vitality - and prescribe MORE of them, and 5 things that make us feel LESS vital and do less of them. I love this. It's like a little ‘stock take' - how often do you do this in your own life and check in? Then we look at the Law of disease and we're reminded that when we go against nature's order it produces toxicity, deficiency and disease. Do you see the many modern environmental and lifestyle changes of the past half century as the culprits of this draining of vitality and creation of chronic disease?Something doctors - naturopathic and integrative/functional have answered the call to is supporting people with these… Lyme comes up a lot; Mold too. With your deep understanding of these infections, can you shed light on how our modern lifestyles and environments might be exacerbating the risks of these conditions? It's never just ‘the tick bite' or ‘the mold exposure' is it? And can we go a bit granular on some of the things that set the stage for chronic illness and talk about ‘leakiness'? Gut, brain, cells… basics/deep dive, would love to spend some time here…Enjoy the showAlexx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What is your greatest fear? Before MS, mine was probably superficial. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something or someone is dangerous and likely to cause pain (physical, emotional, etc.). Fear can be intense and sometimes overpower us if we don't have the tools to work through the emotions it brings. Mary Virgi does not let fear hold her back! She leans into her core values of family and faith to climb out of negative spaces. At the time we recorded this, Mary was 14 weeks pregnant. And releasing this episode she is now about to have her baby. She is surely thriving! Let's chat it up with Mary!

It is estimated that half of all Americans have chronic health issues, and yet these conditions are new to the human species. What has happened? And how does an afflicted individual navigate a medical system that dismisses them and offers little help, embedded within a culture obsessed with self improvement and the hero's journey of triumph? Sarah and I talk about the multifactorial nature of chronic illness and what has changed between generations, walking the fine line between self-responsibility and acknowledging that we're all embedded in toxic systems that are out of our control, navigating the mythic underworld of autoimmune and chronic illness, and telling our stories without the need for a heroic ending.
