At the age of 12, Maddy was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis which turned her world upside down. Spending most of high school either in a hospital, or in bed at home, it was where Maddy developed her love of fashion through online shopping.Then, at the age of 18, Maddy was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis, which has had devastating impact on her body and her ability to maintain what's considered ‘social norms' such as a 9 to 5 job, and a consistent healthy body that allows her to do that. So what do you do when as a society, we are raised to study, get a degree and work hard at careers, yet your body is physically at odds with your ability to do so, and in turn limits your earning capacity and ability to evolve in the industry you love - for Maddy, her passion is fashion.So we speak with Maddy about how she has turned her chronic illness into her superpower, and was inspired to start Mad About Fashion - A Personal Stylist who helps ALL women feel good in what they wear, no matter your body shop, budget or chronic illness.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Shelley: Hi Dr. Cabral. I love you and your work. Thank you. My question is about my daughter who was diagnosed with JRA at the age of 13. She has been on various meds and is currently on Humira to control her symptoms. She has had a positive ANA test and a Centromere B ab of 1.4 which is high. Her doctor is concerned about CREST among other things. She also has had Myastenia Gravis. All serious auto immune diseases. She tries to be gluten free and careful with her diet but as an 18 year old going to college, I am concerned. What advice might you have to get control of this auto immune nightmare? Thank you for all you do. Lindsey: hi dr. cabral! thank you for this podcast and all of your knowledge. i have 2 questions for you — 1.i run a body fever most nights. i notice it significantly when i lay down to go to sleep and my partner says i'm literally radiating heat. i suspect my body is trying to fight off something - what do you suggest as a first step in finding the root cause?2. my heart races/gets faster after meals (whether it be healthy or unhealthy food). can you help?thank you Tiffany: Ive listened to your podcast for 10 yrs & am grateful for your passion your knowledge & helping people. Question: An older friend of mine had to have emergency surgery to remove a non cancerous infected mass from her bowl & has been on a constant antibiotic drip for 2 wks. The I.V. was just removed & she is home w/a drainage bag still attached outside of her body to help rid the infection. When I found this out, I immediately ordered for her the Clean Gut Pros, Saccharomysis Boulardii & a 7 day detox. I was also able to talk her into The Big 5, to get the root cause. She then mentioned she also has Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I tried to research your podcasts for info on this with no luck. Lab results will soon reveal but want any advice on CML to be in your podcasts. Much appreciated! Mandy: Hi doctor Cabral, I've been following your work, and listening to your podcast for years, and it has truly changed by health for better, so I'm eternally grateful. I have a question about my parents: they are both in their mid-70s and I want to keep them as healthy as possible. What are some essential supplements that they should definitely be using? They are not on anything now. They both eat pretty healthy and walk around 20K steps a day. Thanks so much for your advice! Erika: Breast question (I have a dr appointment next week and i know it will be weeks until you get to this but that's okay, would love your opinion)….we did a lot of hiking in the mountains 2 weeks ago and i had a backpack on. After the 5th day, at the end of the day i noticed one breast on the underside looked bruised or like the veins were widened and very visible. I've never had this before…. The blue color will be very light in the morning but after exercising it's back darker again. And only on the underside of the boob.Any idea what is happening?

The youngest of six children, Lisa Cupolo grew up in the Honeymoon Capital of the World: Niagara Falls, Canada. At thirteen, she was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, and spent much of her teens and twenties battling illness. She has spoken about how this trial was actually one of the blessings of her life, because it led her to writing. She learned to escape, creating stories when reality got difficult, and she imagined herself living the lives of her characters, and in the real world, she became an observer. Always a spiritual seeker, Lisa has a BA in philosophy from The University of Western Ontario. In her second year, her single mother put a second mortgage on their suburban home so Lisa could study in Nice, France. That changed everything. She spent the next decade in Europe and her health improved dramatically. She completed a graduate degree in Portrait Photography from The London Institute in England and worked a stint as a paparazzi photographer in London and published celebrity photos in Hello Magazine and The Daily Telegraph and travel shots with Dorling Kindersley and Thomas Cook travel guidebooks. She continued to dream of being a writer.Back in Canada, her professional life turned toward championing artists, as a photo editor at a stock agency in Toronto and at the Banff Centre for the Arts supporting visual artist residencies. She spent a year in Kisumu, Kenya working at an orphanage and traveling in east Africa and eastern Europe. After reading Carol Shield's novel, "Unless," Lisa knew she had to pursue her passion for writing and was offered an entry level job at HarperCollins back in Toronto. While there, she wrote in the early mornings before work. In time, she became a literary publicist and represented some of her favorite writers: Elmore Leonard, Neil Gaiman, Lionel Shriver, Helen Humphreys, among others, and threw some terrific literary parties with Brick Magazine. When she met her husband, writer Richard Bausch, Lisa moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where they had their daughter Lila. She completed an MFA in fiction at the University of Memphis and began publishing stories and finished her novel. They now live in Southern California and Lisa is at work on a memoir and teaches creative writing at Chapman University.

Mikhaila Peterson suffered most of her childhood with multiple health problems, starting with joint pain at the ripe age of 2 years old. By the time she was 7, she was diagnosed with extremely severe Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis with 37 actively inflamed joints. She began treatment with several medically prescribed drugs and as her health continued to decline, she was also diagnosed with severe depression, she experienced hypomanic episodes (Bipolar Type 2), and suffered from fairly severe OCD tendencies. So they added more prescriptions. Over the years Mikhaila's health continued to decline until she decided to experiment with an elimination diet. When she began to see things in her health change for the better, she realized she was on to something. Things like the paleo or keto diet certainly didn't exist back then. She continued to experiment with her diet until she found what works best for her, and thus was born the Lion diet. As the founder of the Lion diet, Mikhaila now spends her time educating others about how diet affects overall health using her personal story and the stories of others who see results following the strict diet. She also operates as CEO of Luminate Enterprises and she has just launched The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast, which, within its first week has already reached #3 in health. Now, hear her take on the Essential 11 questions.

This week's guest is Serena Sterling.When someone feels as though they are being silenced, this can have tremendous physical, and psychological consequences for that person as they feel ignored or not heard. This week's guest is Serena Sterling, who is a certified Life Coach and author of the book ‘Pain: A Love Story'. In this episode, Serena shares her story regarding the chronic physical and emotional pain that she endured as a result of feeling ignored at various times in her life. Serena tells us that in her childhood, she began to complain about “imaginary” pain to gain attention from her family, and after months of pretence, this eventually manifested into Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, a condition she still has today. While working as an international journalist, Serena was based in New York's financial district during the September 11 attacks. As a result of the trauma she experienced during those attacks, she was later diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was told by her doctor that there was no cure. Serena's life began to spiral as she started snorting cocaine in her kitchen to help her cope and hold down her job. Not wanting to accept this as a lifetime fate, she discovered mind-body healing techniques that transformed her mental, emotional, and physical health. Witnessing what seemed like a miraculous transformation, Serena decided she needed to share this with the world. She later received a master's and a doctorate in clinical psychology in order to bridge the gap between science and emotional health. Serena is committed to helping others with physical and emotional pain feel better fast with various modalities that have been proven to cure chronic pain. This is a candid interview with Serena as she not only shares some of the darkest moments in her life but also offers advice to those who feel as though they are being silenced as well as how we can all listen better.In this episode05:08 – Donna's Childhood07:56 – Seeking Attention from Parents09:09 – Psychosomatic Disorder10:03 – Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis15:20 – Coping with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome17:16 – Depression + PTSD19:10 – Cocaine helping her Chronic Fatigue23:20 – Victim Mentality26:29 – Body Mind Healing Techniques28:25 – Communicating with the body32:40 – Diagnosing patients through Kinesiology40:19 – Message behind the book “Pain, A Love Story”46:18 – Advice to someone experiencing pain50:37 – Best way to help someone in pain51:36 – What's the greatest lesson you've learned about yourself?https://www.drserenasterling.com/Instagram: @drserenasterlingBook, Pain: A Love StoryFor more go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/70Like this episode?

Here is a bit about Dr. Emily, what you will hear in the podcast and links for items mentioned during the conversation:“I was originally drawn to medicine through my own life experiences. When I was 10 years old, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. After years of medications, injections and frustration, I came upon an article by Dr. Mark Hyman that discussed functional medicine and how it can reverse such conditions. The article talked about how the food we eat can either help us heal or harm us, and the impact of lifestyle choices on our health. By starting an anti-inflammatory diet and following other functional medicine principles, I was able to eliminate all of the prescription medications and am now in remission! Discovering that it was possible to reverse an autoimmune condition in this way, I wanted to learn what other benefits functional medicine had, and how I could spread this knowledge to others. I was on a mission! So, I started my training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and have received my certification (IFMCP) after years of hard work.”In this podcast Dr. Emily shares her personal story, her journey to functional medicine and the one component in the functional medicine philosophy of treatment that is absolutely critical to address to improve overall health….STRESS!! Dr. Emily states “If stress is high I can give supplements all day long but nothing is going to change”We talk about how stress affects the body, the gut microbiome and leaky gut, appropriate testing, adaptogenic herbs, lifestyle tools to shift the stress response, mindset shift and learning to listen to your body and how trauma and chronic stress can stay in your body and how to address that as well.Below are some links to items mentioned in the podcast episode and how to connect with Dr. Emily:Her website: https://www.balancedlivingfm.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedlivingfm/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dremilyroedersheimerHer training in functional medicine: https://www.ifm.org/Cortisol Saliva test: (physician order only) https://www.gdx.net/product/adrenocortex-stress-hormone-test-salivaMushroom elixirs/coffee: https://us.foursigmatic.com/Adaptogens: https://draxe.com/nutrition/adaptogenic-herbs-adaptogens/Organix test for neurotransmitters and more: (physician order only) https://www.gdx.net/product/organix-comprehensive-profile-metabolic-function-test-urineHeartMath Inner Balance Biofeedback device: https://www.heartmath.com/Book “Stress Less Accomplish More” : https://www.amazon.com/Stress-Less-Accomplish-More-Extraordinary/dp/0062747509Book “The Body Keeps The Score” Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma” : https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1DK463FE74HTC&dchild=1&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score&qid=1618222664&s=books&sprefix=The+Body+Keeps+%2Cstripbooks%2C180&sr=1-1Thank you for listening and I hope you took away a few pieces of information that will help you to manage stress in your life.

Episode 15 - Interview with Nikki Brown-Booker, Program Officer, Disability Inclusion Fund, Borealis Philanthropy, shares insights and wisdom from the funder's side of the table. Nonprofits focused on social justice and civil rights should listen closely!Nikki Brown-Booker is a Filipino/Black woman with a disability who works in philanthropy. "When I enter a room no one looks like me. This is my life experience. It doesn't change except for the rare occurrence when I attend an advocacy meeting or training that people with disabilities would attend."Nikki's story is, in her words, ". . . exclusively American. My mother immigrated from the Philippines after WWII at the age of 18 along with her 6 siblings and her parents. She worked as a domestic worker, nanny, and housekeeper. Her father fought in the Philippine army defending America against the Japanese. My father grew up outside of Jackson, Mississippi and moved to California in the sixties because he could no longer tolerate being a black man in the South. He went to trade school in Mississippi to become a chef. When he moved to California, he worked his way through kitchens before eventually owning his own successful restaurant. That was good food. My parents both had previous marriages with children before the met. They blended their families and they had me."Both of Nikki's parents actively participated in workers' rights and never crossed a picket line. Her mother's father organized with Cesar Chavez and her grandmother was the first director of the Filipino community center in Vallejo, home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the United States. Nikki writes, "To put this in perspective, 44% of all U.S. Filipinos live in California. My family taught me the importance of social justice and organizing others who felt the same. Through example, I was taught never to leave others behind."Nikki was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis as a child. She was extremely strong-willed despite poor health and chronic pain. "My parents never put limits on me. They raised me to be generous, strong, kind and to be proud of who I am. I was taught that we are all equal and that my actions need to reflect that belief. This is what brought me to philanthropic work."Nikki writes, "As an advocate who promotes racial and disability justice I can tell you that organizations engaged in philanthropy have a lot to learn before they can effectively serve intersectional communities. I come from marginalized identities. My presence as the the Program as the Program Office for the Disability Inclusion Fund is one example of inclusive but so much more is needed. I am uniquely qualified through education and personal history to make decisions that can affect the community I was born into. I am stakeholder. In order for the field of philanthropy to successfully help marginalized people they must be working at the foundation level and in the boardroom. We need to see those faces in the room. We need to hear their voices. We must advocate from a place of experienced insight and true empathy. I am working to witness this in my lifetime. I hope you will join me."GivingHeartBeat@gmail.com

Mikhaila Peterson suffered most of her childhood with multiple health problems, starting with joint pain at the ripe age of 2 years old. By the time she was 7, she was diagnosed with extremely severe Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis with 37 actively inflamed joints. She began treatment with several medically prescribed drugs and as her health continued to decline, she was also diagnosed with severe depression, she experienced hypomanic episodes (Bipolar Type 2), and suffered from fairly severe OCD tendencies. So they added more prescriptions. Over the years Mikhaila's health continued to decline until she decided to experiment with an elimination diet. When she began to see things in her health change for the better, she realized she was on to something. Things like the paleo or keto diet certainly didn't exist back then. She continued to experiment with her diet until she found what works best for her, and thus was born the Lion diet. As the founder of the Lion diet, Mikhaila now spends her time educating others about how diet affects overall health using her personal story and the stories of others who see results following the strict diet. She also operates as CEO of Luminate Enterprises and she has just launched The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast, which, within its first week has already reached #3 in health. Now, hear her take on the Essential 11 questions.

Jaydin Mercer is a rock star! As our Community Spot Light continues with the Arthritis Foundation's signature event the Jingle Bell Run we had the pleasure of chatting with Jennifer and Jaydin Mercer. They are a local family who shared their personal arthritis story with us. Jaydin will be serving as the Youth Honoree for this year’s Jingle Bell Run. Remember her name because this girl is a rock star! Jaydin's Story All I really remember was the pain. Not really how it happened, just how much it hurt me to have it. Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Three big words that mean a lot to me now but did not register in my mind back then. I was only four-years-old, so I did not understand what was happening. The first medicine I began taking was medication to reduce the swelling, but it just increased my stomach aches. After switching my medicine, I soon had to be put to sleep for steroid injections in the left knee. While this was going on, we also figured out that I had Uveitis, a type of Arthritis in my eyes. It causes them to inflame, which can lead to blindness if not treated. Today, I manage my Arthritis by taking my NSAID twice a day, receiving a shots every Saturday, and getting a blood draw every six weeks. Staying active and eating healthy also help me stay happy and feel as good as possible! Despite having Arthritis, I am able to play soccer, train in Martial Arts, maintain straight A’s for three years, and get into the gifted program. As the official Youth Honoree, I have a chance to help others going through the same problems as me. The foundation also made it possible for me to go to Camp Boggy Creek for a family weekend last fall and a whole week this summer. I can now help raise money for this great foundation! I am honored to raise awareness about something that others might overlook or not understand and show them that this is a serious issue for people of all ages. We should be working together to find cures and other ways to help. I am proud to represent the Arthritis Foundation! About the Jingle Bell Run Now in its 23rd year, the Jingle Bell Run in one of the Arthritis Foundation’s signature events that is held nationwide during the month of December annually. This event provides a robust opportunity to partners to capitalize on the visibility and accessibility to the direct audience of the Arthritis Foundation which is comprised of community members including doctors, nurses, physical therapist, afflicted individuals and families suffering daily from arthritis.

I've been a little different my entire life. The reason this podcast is named Sore Joints and Twitches is because when I was 1o years old I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis during the same year. This is the story of how I became the guy I am today and how I'm going to use who I am to develop who I'm going to be. This is a swapcast with the podcast I co-host at my day job at Windy City Equipment in Phoenix, Arizona.
