Send us a textThe world of invisible illness is a lonely place where "you look fine" becomes a painful refrain from well-meaning friends and family who can't see the war raging inside your body. For six years, I've navigated life with rheumatoid arthritis—an autoimmune disease where my body attacks my joints, causing inflammation, pain, and progressive damage from my fingers to my hips.This deeply personal episode peels back the curtain on what it's truly like living with chronic pain that others can't see. I share my diagnosis story, the countless medications and supplements that fill my daily routine, and how I've had to completely reimagine my identity. From the steroid shots that provide temporary relief to the heated blankets that have become my constant companions, I walk you through the practical realities of managing an autoimmune disease.But beyond the physical challenges lies a profound psychological journey. I've discovered what I call the "migraine hack"—how people readily show empathy for conditions they understand while dismissing autoimmune flares with a casual "can't you just suck it up?" I share the valuable Column A, B, C exercise from the Mayo Clinic that's helping me accept my new reality: Column A represents who I was before, Column C reflects my worst days, and Column B is the new identity I'm creating between those extremes.Whether you're battling an invisible illness yourself or love someone who is, this conversation offers both practical insights and emotional validation. For those suffering, you're not alone in this struggle. For those supporting someone with chronic illness, understanding is the greatest gift you can offer. Because when someone says they're in pain, believing them costs nothing—but dismissing their experience costs them everything. Thanks again for listening.

Drs. Chaichian and Dall'Era explore the “treat to target” approach in lupus, including key targets like DORIS remission and lupus low disease activity state.
This week I'm joined by Dr. Dan Pardi, Qualia's Chief Health Officer, for a fascinating dive into your body's repair system. We explore what's really happening to your stem cells as you age - spoiler alert: they don't disappear, they just get stuck in toxic environments that prevent them from working. Dr. Pardi breaks down the science of stem cell exhaustion, one of the 15 hallmarks of aging, and shares practical strategies to support these ancient repair mechanisms. From the evolutionary origins of stem cells to cutting-edge protocols that work with your body's natural rhythms, this conversation reveals how to optimize your repair system at any age.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/209
About 1-in-6 Americans suffer from an Autoimmune Disease, which is actually a growing problem. In this episode, we talk about:—How Dr. Prather's career was inspired by his own battle with Graves' Disease, which is an Autoimmune Disease. And why making sure the Atlas is in proper place is "critical" for Autoimmune Disease and needs to be corrected first before there can be any progress.—The various categories of Autoimmune Disease: Joints and Muscles (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Myositis), Skin and Blood Vessels (Sjogren's Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Vitiligo), Digestive (Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis), the Endocrine System (Type I Diabetes, Addison's Disease, Hashimoto's, Thyroiditis, Graves' Disease), the Nervous System (Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre), the Lymphatic System (Fibromyalgia), and many more.—The different infections that can kick off Autoimmune Disease, including Viruses, Bacteria, Parasitic, or Fungal. And how Heavy Metal Toxicities and Stress can cause of Autoimmune Disease.—Why the underlying cause of the Autoimmune Disease is more important to determine in Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care model, while the Disease Care approach focuses on managing and suppressing the symptoms. And the "huge" role that the Gut plays in Autoimmune Diseases.—The new cutting-edge area of drugs called Biologics and how they work. And how Vaccines are actually classified as Biologics.—How Immunosuppressant Drugs can be helpful and life-saving, but can also increase your chances of Cancer and a shortened life-span. And why Dr. Prather says, "The more drugs that you take, the longer you take them, the more likely you are to have an issue."—Why your ability to fight infections, viruses, fungal, and parasites "go way down" if you are taking an Immunosuppressant Drug.—How Dr. Prather himself and many of his patients are a "testament" that Medical Doctors are wrong when taught to believe that there is no hope of getting well from Autoimmune Disease. And how the Structure-Function Care results he sees in his office disprove the Medical model's belief that symptoms should just be managed and that the patient will always get worse.—Why Dr. Prather says "we're not going to get anywhere" with an Autoimmune Disease if you have Heavy Metal toxicity. And the importance of thorough diagnostics in Structure-Function Care to determine the root cause of the Autoimmune Disease that needs to be corrected.—The effectiveness of Structure-Function Care, which is "the only way you're going to make headway in an Autoimmune Disease". And the reason Homeopathics are described by Dr. Prather as "a real key" for making dramatic changes in Autoimmune Disease.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Living with an invisible illness like lupus can feel isolating, exhausting, and misunderstood. In this powerful episode of The Self-Esteem and Confidence Mindset, I sit down with Ebonie Robinson to explore what it's really like to navigate life with lupus, manage the challenges of invisible disease, and still find strength, purpose, and confidence. We discuss the emotional and physical toll of chronic illness, how to advocate for yourself in a world that often doesn't “see” your pain, and the mindset shifts that support resilience, self-love, and healing. If you or someone you love is living with lupus or another invisible condition, this episode offers hope, tools, and inspiration to move from surviving to thriving.You can find Ebonie's book here:amazon.co.uk/Lupus-Journey-Journal-Ebonie-Robinson/dp/1966719361
I'm obsessed with this conversation. Hali Laricey taught me how to read my CBC with differential like a detective - and you probably already have years of these sitting in your patient portal right now. Those "normal" labs everyone dismisses? They're actually hiding specific patterns that can predict autoimmune flares months before symptoms hit. Hali breaks down the exact functional ranges for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes that reveal bacterial loads, viral activity, and chronic infections like EBV. This isn't about ordering expensive specialty tests - the CBC with differential is available anywhere and costs almost nothing. If you've been told your labs are normal but you still feel terrible, this episode will give you the tools to have empowered conversations with your healthcare team.For the full show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/207

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Lisa Sammaritano to discuss the forthcoming 2025 ACR Guidelines for the Treatment of SLE.

I've watched it happen over and over… high-achieving women who appear to have it all together while their bodies are quietly screaming for help through autoimmune symptoms. My guest Tori Jenae, a trauma-informed coach with multiple psychology degrees, reveals why the very traits we think make us "good" might actually be making us sick. She breaks down how people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-functioning create chronic stress that literally changes our biology. Tori shares her powerful framework of three consciousness levels for healing and explains why your immune system might be the protective mother you never had. If you're tired of managing symptoms without addressing root causes, this episode offers a roadmap for healing that goes far beyond diet and supplements.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/206
Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesIn this episode, Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram dive into the fascinating relationship between blood sugar, diet, and movement. They unpack how the body regulates blood sugar, what happens when this process breaks down in Type I and Type II diabetes, and why different kinds of activity play such a big role in prevention and management.Katy and Jeannette explain how contracting muscles can pull glucose directly into working cells during exercise—a powerful but site-specific effect—and how long-term training reshapes muscle to take up glucose more efficiently.They also compare the blood sugar benefits of endurance exercise, resistance training, HIIT, stretching, and even light daily movement. Along the way, they highlight two key scenarios: insulin resistance linked to excess weight and inflammation, versus insulin resistance driven by low muscle mass in people with normal weight. For the latter, they stress why resistance training—or “big body work”—is especially essential.CHAPTERS 0:06:00 - Definitions 0:16:00 - The Dynamic Collective 0:17:00 - You Can't Exercise Off Diabetes 0:20:00 - Muscle is the Key Tissue (and the Liver)0:36:30 - Stretching & Light Activity 0:47:00 - Exercise Modality for Blood Sugar Regulation0:54:25 - Listener Question on Lupus brought to you by Peluva 1:09:09 - Blood Sugar Spikes During Exercise BOOKS & RESEARCH PAPERS My Perfect Movement Plan by Katy BowmanI know I should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy BowmanExercise and GLUT4 by Flores-Opazo et al (2020) Mechanisms of endurance and resistance exercise in type 2 diabetes by Zhao et al (2025) Sedentary behaviour as a mediator of type 2 diabetes by Hamilton et al (2015) Impact of reduced sitting time or increasing sit-to-stand transitions on blood pressure and glucose regulation in Postmenopausal women by Hartman et al (2025) The impact of standing desks on cardiometabolic and vascular health by Bodker et al (2021) MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS:Sweet Skins, organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 20% off with code Movement20Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for walking and higher impact activities.

This week I'm sharing a conversation that could completely shift how you think about healing from trauma and chronic illness. My guest Lisa Erickson went from tech worker to energy healer after her own health crises showed her something profound: when we're dealing with trauma or chronic illness, we often disconnect from our bodies as a survival mechanism. But that same disconnection can block our healing.Lisa breaks down how chakras work as the organs in your energy anatomy, bridging your physical body, emotions, and spirit. What I love about her approach is how practical it is - you don't need to be "woo woo" or spend hours meditating. She shows you how to link simple energy practices to things you already do, like brushing your teeth.We dive deep into why the root chakra at your tailbone is the foundation for all healing (hint: it's connected to your immune system and adrenals), and she maps out how each energy center connects to specific body systems and healing opportunities.This isn't about bypassing medical care - it's about adding another layer of support that helps you feel safe in your body again.

Ron March is a once vital man suffering from debilitating Lupus. Unable to work, he lucks out with subsidized housing in a Burnaby, British Columbia apartment building, and soon befriends his neighbor across the hall, Loray Rayne. Loray is a cancer survivor still in precarious health, who receives care from her roommate, Lance Standberg. But Lance is gone for long spells working in the oilfields, so Loray comes to rely on Ron when he's away. Ron ends the friendship when Loray's demands become overbearing, enraging his neighbor and igniting the violent fury of her roommate – who will stop at nothing to avenge the insult to Loray's honor.

Many people with autoimmune conditions like lupus, Hashimoto's, or rheumatoid arthritis feel discouraged, confused and frustrated. They've been told there's nothing they can do except manage symptoms for the rest of their life. But what if autoimmune disease is associated with childhood and a sign that the body has been living in survival mode for too long and that recovery is possible? In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains the real nervous system root causes of autoimmune diseases and why rewiring your nervous system, stored trauma, and emotional pain can help your body recover. She shares her own story of sitting in a rheumatologist's office, staring at high antibody numbers on her lab results, and deciding there had to be a better way forward. You'll hear why autoimmune conditions often affect high-functioning women and how toxic stress and trauma from years ago can get stuck in the body, leading to fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, and autoimmune flare-ups decades later. Dr. Aimie breaks down how autoimmunity isn't just about the immune system. It's also about safety, authenticity, and how the body responds to stress. Healing requires more than food or supplements. It means creating safety in your mind, in your body, and in your biology. In this episode, you'll hear more about: [2:10] Why reversing autoimmune symptoms is about more than lab results or medication [5:00] The personality traits that often show up in people with autoimmune conditions [9:30] How childhood stress, emotional pain, and trauma get stored in the body [13:40] Why a stressed nervous system leads to fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation [18:00] The surprising connection between being your true self and autoimmune flare-ups [22:45] Why positive thinking alone doesn't work and what your body actually needs to heal [27:00] The three key levels of healing [31:00] First steps you can take to start nervous system regulation and feeling safe again Whether you're personally living with an autoimmune condition or you're a practitioner supporting clients with these challenges, this episode will give you the tools to start addressing the emotional root causes of autoimmunity and creating a felt sense of safety to help the body recover naturally.

On this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, Rickey Smiley, Da Brat and the rest of the crew talk about a variety of topics. Atlanta-based 21‑year‑old inventor Julian Brown, who invented “Plastoline”—a microwave‑pyrolysis reactor that turns plastic waste into fuel—went silent on social media after posting cryptic messages saying he was under threat and “under attack.” Despite massive concern, his mother and local authorities have confirmed he is safe and not missing. Also, rumors have been swirling around Deion Sanders and Karrueche Tran, who were seen together during Sanders’ recent bladder cancer surgery recovery. Rumors suggest they may be planning a family together, especially after reports that Deion may bank sperm prior to surgery affecting fertility. Finally, singer Muni Long, who lives with lupus, set the record straight about her recent weight gain: it isn’t linked to her autoimmune condition or pregnancy, but simply because she’s “eating really good” and embracing her current look, leaning into body positivity and calling out fan speculation.
