A healing mindset is like the gatekeeper to your healing journey. If you are in a stuck mindset, it's difficult even to begin to heal and start feeling better. That's why I'm so happy to explore this topic with a very special guest: Eileen Laird of Phoenix Helix, and the Phoenix Helix Podcast. Eileen's latest book, Healing Mindset: A Guide to the Mind-Body Connection for People with Autoimmune Disease, gives us practical ways to cultivate a healing mindset, in a collection of over 96 techniques we can discover, learn about, and apply as needed. We'll Discuss: Eileen's healing journey with rapid and severe onset RA Using the mind-body connection to cope with pain, fear, and other difficulties How Eileen defines a healing mindset and why it's important The importance of self-compassion on the healing journey Some of the scientifically-proven benefits of mind-body medicine Why many of us neglect this aspect of our healing Some of Eileen's favorite mind-body techniques Helpful Links: Eileen's Book: Healing Mindset The Phoenix Helix Website & Podcast Grab my FREE Thyroid-healthy Grocery Guide Hypothyroid Chef Website Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

Today we have a very special episode. I'm celebrating the publication of my new book: Healing Mindset. It's a guide to the mind-body connection for people with autoimmune disease. The mind-body connection isn't just an idea. There's an entire field of science called psychoneuroimmunology that studies this connection. How we feel in our body affects how we feel in our minds, and our thoughts and feelings impact our physical health. Today, we'll be talking about specific mind-body techniques, science-based benefits, and how to harness this connection for autoimmune health. My partner for this episode is Donna Jackson Nakazawa. Many of you know her as one of my most popular podcast guests. She's an award-winning science journalist, author of 7 books, a fellow autoimmune warrior, and an expert on the mind-body connection. Today, we're trading places. She will be the host and I will be the guest!

Eileen Laird shares the changes that Rheumatoid Arthritis made to her life including how her blog, Phoenix Helix was created, how she made the emotional transition to medication and how she deals with flares. So much wisdom in this one. Listen in.

Sometimes we need to help our patients understand that a ‘yes, and’ approach to managing chronic illness is necessary. (Yes to diet and lifestyle modification And, medical intervention may be necessary.) Eileen speaks to this beautifully. She’s a patient, an advocate and AIP diet guru.

Creator of Phoenix Helix, Eileen Laird, describes how she achieved remission from rheumatoid arthritis using a combination of nutrition, lifestyle, mindset and modern medicine. An episode not to miss as Eileen explains why diet isn't always enough to stem inflammation from autoimmune disease and chronic illness.

Listeners have told me that while they love how information-packed my podcasts are, they would also love to know more about me personally. This is a fun podcast from my archives, where my friend Joanna turned the tables and interviewed me! Note: this conversation isn’t about autoimmune disease at all – because we are so much more than our disease and sometimes it’s easy to forget that. Instead, we talked about everything from my childhood, to falling in love, to tattoos, to swimming with whales. Welcome to the Eileen Hour. :-)

This week Brett interviews Eileen Laird about her experience with crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis and how she has been able to manage it with a combination of mediation and dietary changes. In 2012 Eileen considered herself healthy before she started to experience debilitating aches and pains. After experimenting with a few options she found that a Listen In The post TPS 206: Rheumatoid Arthritis, the role of diet and medications appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

It seems like at least once a month on a podcast, I'm recommending somebody... ...whether that somebody is having skin issues like acne or eczema, gut pain, brain fog, food allergies or intolerances or constipation or any other signs of immune system or inflammation issues... ...try something called the "Autoimmune Diet". Problem is, this particular diet, typically meant to be followed for a short period of time until things are healed up, can be confusing when it comes to whether you really need to use it to heal an issue, which foods are "allowed" and which foods aren't, how to transition off the diet back into a "normal" eating style once you've finished the autoimmune diet, and that's exactly why I decided to have Eileen Laird on the show. Eileen just wrote the book "", I read it last week, and it's exactly what it promises, a book simple enough that even someone with brain fog can understand, written like a conversation between friends a simple and contains all of the essential information in a package small enough to throw in your purse or backpack. Eileen is a writer, podcast host, and self-described "autoimmune warrior", who has reversed rheumatoid arthritis through this diet. Her blog, , receives 1 million unique visitors annually and there she features recipes, research and personal stories about the autoimmune experience. She also writes "Autoimmune Answers", a regular column in , and is the host of the , the only paleo podcast focused 100% on autoimmune healing. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What exactly the autoimmune paleo diet is... -Why your body can attack itself and what you can do about it... -What a sample daily meal plan would look like... -A surprising "substitute" for organ meats...   -Why Eileen isn't a fan of stevia... -Why it's a myth that the liver stores toxins... -Three "gentle" ways to detox... -If you can use nightshades, how you can make meals spicy... -How to "transition" back to normal eating after following the AIP, and he an order in which you would introduce foods... -And much more!

“It was the first time I had been knocked down so hard by life I wondered if I would ever be able to get up again,” says Eileen Laird of waking up in excruciating pain. It was 2012.  Laird, age 43 at the time, was hit almost overnight with the sudden onset of rheumatoid arthritis and saw her whole world turn upside down.  One day she was out hiking and enjoying the outdoors, the next she could barely walk across her kitchen. “I didn't know how I would survive it — except you don't have a choice,” Laird says.  Feeling helpless and overwhelmed, she also found herself determined to find a way forward.    On her website, www.phoenixhelix.com Laird writes: The conventional medical treatment frightened me as much as the disease, so I sought another option. I am eternally grateful to the internet for putting information at our fingertips and allowing me to read about the GAPS , Paleo & Wahls diets. They taught me how to use food as medicine. Before then, I had daily joint flares that were excruciating, disabling and frightening. After just one week on the diet, my flares began to lessen. 1 year later, my flares were gone. She now focuses on the paleo lifestyle and has written an e-book called: A simple Guide to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol. The protocol includes: -No processed foods. -Raw honey is the only sugar used. -Grain-free. -No legumes. -No soy -No dairy   -No refined cooking oils. Laird eats huge quantities of vegetables and says healthy fats were essential in her healing process.  Also, Laird puts heavy focus on foods that aid in digestion like kombucha. She also writes a lot about attitude, self-love, and sleep — something that has been getting quite a bit of press recently.  Arianna Huffington, Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post has a new book out titled, “The Sleep Revolution” and has been traveling the country encouraging people to make sleep a priority.  Huffington says it will help keep you productively focused during the work day so you can enjoy every moment of downtime while bettering your mood. “It is such perfect timing for her to have that book out,” Laird comments.  “I think she can't be more right.  Research is very clear that sleep is directly related to inflammation.  And it makes sense, our bodies regenerate, heal and repair while we are sleeping.  So the less we are sleeping, the less we are giving our bodies a chance to do that.” All of this, for Laird, was part of putting together the pieces of a healing puzzle in the days and months that followed the onset of her autoimmune disorder. “You are stronger than you realize,” she says.  “One thing that automatically happens when you go through something really hard, whether physical or emotional, it is incredible strengthening.  That's why I have the Phoenix on my website.” She is careful, however, not to say that she is cured of rheumatoid arthritis — rather she refers to it now as a whisper in the body as opposed to a scream. But it is remarkable to think that four years ago Eileen Laird awoke in a state of panic.  She describes moments where she was crawling on the floor sobbing, wondering if she would ever again function without pain.   By educating and empowering herself, Laird has managed to turn it all around — one day at a time, one meal at a time.  “I have a wonderful life now, even though is not the same one I had before.” Laird has grown an audience through blogging, writing and sharing what she has learned on her journey using food as medicine. She lives in a small town in North Carolina, but has built a global community of like-minded people who focus on the paleo lifestyle.  Her “tribe” as she calls them. “I'm in a touch with a global community of people doing the same thing.  By starting my blog and podcast, I got to get in touch with thousands of people who are doing it.  And it makes you feel a lot less alone.” The post The Autoimmune Warrior: Using Food As Medicine appeared first on Inspired Media 360 TV - Inform | Inspire | Engage.

Your internal wisdom knows what your body needs and what you put into your mouth is a major key to healing, according to this week's guest on The Autoimmune Hour on Life Interrupted Radio.In this episode, Sharon Sayler welcomes Eileen Laird.

http://notjustpaleo.com/free-health-consultation/ Eileen Laird is a podcast host, writer and researcher at Phoenix Helix. Today we discuss her rapid-onset autoimmune disease. She had the perfect lifestyle, still ate gluten and dairy at the time of the diagnosis. She hasn't been able to identify a root cause of her disease, but upon beginning the AIP diet protocol, she has had an incredible recovery. We discuss the autoimmune diet in general, as well as specifically following this diet for autoimmune conditions. Many of my patients have a diagnosis of autoimmunity, or they have concerns about the autoimmune component to disease. Researchers are beginning to come to the conclusion that I see each week which is that nearly every disease or symptom may have an autoimmune component to it. When we are at the end of our rope and are facing prescription medication that can be riddled with side effects and nutrient deficiencies that can be caused from these drugs, it gives you a breath of hope to learn that Eileen has had such a great response to the AIP protocol. Her story is among the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people across the world who have successfully reduced the severity and number of symptoms that they are plagued by. When you feel like you are losing hope, remember that the foundations of nutrition, lifestyle, attitude, fatty acid balance, hydration, hormone balance, methylation and detoxification and more, must all be in order to be 100% well. Giving up may feel easier, but if you want to thrive in the modern world, that adds new chemicals and variables to your situation each year, it's best to have someone take a deeper look into your lifestyle. I believe that everyone needs a practitioner or coach to look over labs, biomarkers and the other important information that helps to gauge your health. I offer 15 minute complimentary consultations to discuss your health symptoms, your journey, your successes and struggles.

The autoimmune paleo diet described in Eileen Laird’s new book reversed occult blood found on my stool test result and brought my Hs-CRP blood test for inflammation back into the normal range. I was already eating a paleo-type diet before I made the switch to AIP, and with hindsight I suspect that seeds, nuts and eggs were the main foods still causing me problems. I’m not alone, and process of eliminating common food allergens and then doing careful reintroductions is frequently helpful for the athletes that we work with. We’ve recommended Sarah Ballantyne’s book to hundreds of people. My mother in law owns two copies and lends them to strangers all the time. No doubt it’s a fantastic book, but sometimes I feel badly for burdening people with the task of reading it, especially if they’re not feeling good. You’ve probably noticed that most of the volume of any book comprises of the argument to support the prescription. What if you don’t care about the argument? Just tell me what to do. Eileen's new book: A Simple Guide to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol does exactly that. You can read it in a couple of hours and know exactly what you should do next. Most people think of AIP as a diet but that’s not true, AIP is a lifestyle and the important lifestyle factors are described succinctly in Eileen’s book. Eileen Laird is an amazing women: deep tissue massage therapist, outdoors lover, author and podcast host. Eileen has been using autoimmune paleo diet (AIP) to successfully manage her once debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. Getting help. In this episode, Eileen is interviewed by the women who introduced me to AIP. Julia is my wife, and a food scientist, and I’ll be forever grateful to her for enabling me to execute the dietary rules so effortlessly, something she now teaches other people professionally. Are you struggling to make AIP work? Book a month of coaching with Julia. Julia doesn’t do food allergy testing or chronic food logging. Instead, she teaches via the phone or Skype and then follows up on a three-day food diary stored in Google Docs. Here’s the outline of this interview with Eileen Laird: 0:00:20 Eileen's book: A Simple Guide to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). 0:00:38 AIP was originally an elimination diet. 0:00:51 Nightshades and eggs were a problem for people with autoimmunity. 0:01:15 The second phase is reintroduction. 0:01:41 Seeds and spices. 0:01:58 People are started to appreciate the lifestyle component. 0:02:18 Sleep, stress, self-talk. 0:02:51 The goal is to live the best life possible with autoimmunity. 0:03:03 Who is AIP for? 0:03:39 Do you need a diagnosis? 0:04:17 Over 100 autoimmune diseases are classified. 0:04:33 Multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus. 0:04:41 Diabetes. 0:04:46 Skin diseases. 0:04:57 Eczema is an immune reaction. 0:05:05 Lichen planus. 0:05:52 Sometimes a diagnosis is hard to make. 0:07:06 If you've already tried paleo and there are lingering symptoms then AIP can help. 0:07:53 Eileen was healthy, active, fit. 0:08:35 Woke up one day with pain 0:08:51 Same problem on both sides is classic RA. 0:10:12 Eileen has been lucky in not needing medication. 0:10:36 Eileen reclaimed joy in her life within a few months. 0:11:08 Now back to working full time and hiking. 0:11:41 Eileen took things in steps. 0:11:58 Tried vegetarian and veganism. 0:12:18 Paleo is a good starting point for people intimidated by AIP. 0:13:07 Eileen waited 5 months on paleo before going full AIP. 0:13:47 Bland food is not sustainable! 0:14:06 Now there are lots of good resources. 0:14:39 Dairy, even the best dairy were a problem. 0:15:28 AIP can be complex, how can we make it simpler? 0:16:12 Book: Better Than Before: What I Learned About Making and Breaking Habits--to Sleep More, Quit Sugar, Procrastinate Less, and Generally Build a Happier Life. 0:17:36 Planning is essential. 0:17:49 Out of sight, out of mind. 0:18:28 Household support is important. 0:19:01 Angie at Autoimmune Paleo. 0:20:08 AIP is not supposed to be forever but the reintroduction phase can be hard. 0:22:12 The reintroduction of eggs was important to Eileen. 0:23:33 Reintroduction requires patience. 0:23:44 Being the focus of a science experiment is incredibly empowering. 0:24:20 If you get it wrong, you've got to back to square one, another 30 days. 0:25:01 Symptoms are the guide. 0:25:47 Until you clear some of the inflammation, everything is noise. 0:26:40 Struggling emotionally is a consideration. 0:27:12 Eileen reintroduced at six weeks. 0:27:28 Some wait a year. 0:27:36 You should reintroduce! AIP is not necessarily healthier. 0:28:14 There's a risk of disordered eating. 0:28:51 Don't let your food become another stressor. 0:29:46 I don't have any emotional connection to food. 0:30:03 But I hate feeling like crap! 0:30:22 It's not orthorexic to want to feel good. 0:30:57 We've been doing modified AIP for nearly 3 years. 0:31:10 I go back to AIP after hard training or racing. 0:32:03 Qualify using the Bristol Stool chart! 0:32:31 People want meal plans but Julia hates to produce them. 0:32:58 Encouraging people to take ownership. 0:33:16 Book: The Paleo Approach: Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body. 0:33:30 Why another AIP book? 0:33:38 Eileen enjoys making complex information accessible. 0:34:19 Phoenix Helix blog. 0:34:36 The book is a simple package and is for people thinking "just tell me what to do!" 0:36:12 Sometimes we feel bad about burdening people with the AIP Bible. 0:37:16 Eileen wrote the book with people with autoimmunity in mind. 0:37:35 But her family understood AIP in a way they hadn't previously after reading the book. 0:38:09 The book is unintimidating. 0:39:25 What about AIP as a healing diet (without autoimmunity). 0:39:53 Eileen thinks it's a great reset diet. 0:40:10 Reintroductions are typically very successful. 0:40:15 We use a combination of AIP plus supplements to address the specific problems that we find on lab tests. 0:40:59 What are the other things apart from diet? 0:41:11 People frequently focus exclusively on diet. 0:41:43 The lifestyle factors are equally important. 0:42:00 AIP dieters are perfectionists. 0:42:26 Diet is a good place to start. 0:42:34 Sleep is likely to improve after you change your diet. 0:42:48 Worry about the things that you can change. 0:43:03 Meditation works wonders. 0:43:29 Even 5 minutes a day can make a difference 0:43:40 Yoga, being outdoors in nature. 0:43:54 Heart beat slows, tightness softens. 0:44:54 Circadian rhythm is very important. 0:45:07 Setting a bedtime and awakening time reduced RA inflammation. 0:45:28 People are harder on themselves than they need to be. 0:45:41 Ask yourself, would you talk to someone else like that? 0:47:11 Eileen's podcast. 0:47:26 Eileen felt like her joints were on fire, hence the Phoenix. 0:47:49 The podcast is in iTunes. 0:48:00 Recipe roundtable on Eileen's blog.
