If you've dealt with chronic illness, especially an invisible illness, it can be hard to effectively communicate with those around you about your needs. If you look good on the outside, people might think you feel okay on the inside. Unfortunately, sometimes that couldn't be further from the truth.

Chronic illness and regular health issues can make our lives feel unstable, especially when it comes to our work, our businesses, and our ability to create things that are meaningful and impactful.    It can seem like it’s impossible for us to build something that supports us while we’re contending with bouts of illness. Many smart, capable, and creative ladies feel defeated by this, but health issues don’t have to get in the way of our dreams.    It is possible to work for ourselves, earn income even during downtimes, and run an operation that fits into the rhythm and flow of our lives. By building a simple business that runs on evergreen products, we can have success without compromising our health.    How is an online business a great solution for dealing with health issues? How can creative people turn their passion into a successful, simple business?    In this episode, I’m joined by the owner and the designer of Oksancia Textile Design Studio and School, Oksana Pasishnychenko. She shares her inspiring story and how online businesses empower people with chronic illnesses.    More people should seek to build simple businesses that they work hard at, but can also have flexibility and freedom with, because life is unpredictable. -Dana Malstaff   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   How your creative passion can turn into a great businessMany people wonder if artistry, illustration, and creativity can be turned into a business with stable, recurring income. Through coaching, training, and course content, we can leverage our creativity, teach and impact others, make money, and scale what we do.    The danger of a launch-based business Going from launch to launch is incredibly draining and stressful, and if you’re already dealing with a health issue, or even the stress of lockdowns alone, they aren’t a good idea. An evergreen model allows you to work on perfecting and honing in on that one thing which gives you stability.    How online businesses are great for working with health issuesA scaled up online business that’s based on selling evergreen course content allows you to build something that won’t suffer instability when health issues cause downtime. It also means you won’t have to compromise on how much much you earn, and you won’t have to force yourself to work when you’re not feeling well.    Guest Bio-    Oksana is the owner and designer of the Oksancia Textile Design Studio and School.

Okay, high performers and high performing leaders! I hope you guys enjoy this episode - it felt a lot like having coffee with a friend because Callie and I have both had experiences with chronic disease or chronic pain and illness. We were really passionate about bringing you an episode of the Build High Performing Teams podcast where we talk to both the people who are experiencing chronic illness, disease or pain, and also the people who are leading those people. How does this affect the workplace? So whether you are dealing with a personal shift or change, a divorce, a marriage, moving, starting a new job, or you are somebody who is dealing with this chronic pain and illness or maybe leading someone with chronic pain and illness, we give you quite a few tips as well as a three part framework that really just repeats itself of awareness, understanding and communication around this topic. So please take a listen. We invite you to be part of this conversation and continue the conversation after the episode so that you can help people be more chronically well in the workplace. Enjoy! “Yeah, so it was a year and a half after diagnosis, I was still still experiencing daily pain and symptoms. And, I always just kind of decided, Okay, this is what I have. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do about it? Who am I? How do I move forward? How do I still live a beautiful life? And then I started experimenting.” At minute 13:51, Callie talks about how to navigate through an illness and find your identity amidst the transition before a diagnosis and after. In addition to establishing your identity with your illness, your role in your family, and in your career. “I really think that sometimes there are things that our body is screaming for us to acknowledge and sometimes the only way that it can do that is through pain. It manifests you know, emotional pain can manifest in the body. If you look it up there. You know it's tied to different areas of the Depending on what you're going through. And for me, I realized that I needed to address some things.” At 38:39, Callie talks about the importance of listening and paying attention to your physical health when under stress or in the midst of a highly emotional situation. She expresses that pain can be a way for our body to let us know that something is not right. “I think the first thing is believe them know that they're not trying to get attention and it probably took everything in them to just talk to you about it. Yeah. And so give them grace. Have grace on them, have grace on yourself because maybe you won't get it completely right. Maybe you won't be the perfect boss to someone who's going through a chronic illness, but if you're willing to hear them, and you're willing to change things as you go along and figure it out and just communicate.” At minute 47:49, Callie gives advice to loved ones surrounded by an individual with a chronic illness. Both in the workplace, in the home, and out in the community and how communication can go a long way in building trust.  Callie shared a lot of valuable information about managing chronic illness and pain at work. She also gave a lot of helpful tips to friends and families of chronic illness, so make sure to stay tuned! If you want to know more about Callie, learn all about her at http://calliedixon.com/.

Part two of our episode all about managing chronic illness as a young adult. Shauna, Analisa, Rose, and I continued our discussion about chronic illness. Featuring discussion (and lots of laughs) as we talk about what it's like to tell people we have a chronic illness, not wanting to be the "spokesperson" for our disease, well-meaning but ignorant strangers giving advice, navigating family, holidays, significant others, commiserating about our shared "near-death" experiences (we're so dramatic!), and our advice for other young adults facing our illnesses: seek out support when you need it, claim EVERY aspect of who you are, and don't forget to laugh at yourself once in a while. Featured chronic conditions: Type I Diabetes, Meniere's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). If you are wanting more information about these conditions or any others, we encourage you to do research! Google will turn up a lot of reliable sources (think .org, .gov, and .edu!).

The autoimmune paleo diet (AIP) also known as the autoimmune protocol diet is an extremely popular diet these days for autoimmune disease but there has never been any studies done to evaluate if it actually works.  Although testimonials should be taken into account, and there are many all over the internet,  the ultimate test for validity is a clinical trial. As of August 29th, 2017, we now have a study that looked at this diet and how effective it was for autoimmune disease.  The paper is entitled, “Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.”  Dr. Konijeti is the lead author and it was published in the journal Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Let’s dig into the study and see what they came up with.  The study included 18 adults but three of them withdrew because they couldn’t commit to the diet so there were only 15 participants.  9 of them had Crohn’s disease and 6 had ulcerative colitis.  Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are autoimmune inflammatory bowel diseases. What causes these diseases?  The authors note that Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are due to genetic factors, gut dysbiosis, dietary factors, environmental exposures, and immune system dysregulation.  This is mostly true for all types of autoimmune diseases but I would also include infections in this list such as viruses and bacteria. To be more specific regarding dietary factors that increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, it is noted that a typical Western diet high in refined carbohydrates, omega-6 fatty acids, saturated fat, low in fiber, vitamins, and nutrient-dense foods are part of the problem. What is the autoimmune paleo diet (AIP)? The autoimmune protocol diet is also known as the autoimmune paleo diet since it is an offshoot of the classic paleo diet.  The following foods are eliminated from this diet: Gluten-containing grains Gluten-free grains Dairy Eggs Nuts Seeds Refined carbohydrates and sugar Legumes Nightshades Oils Food additives Coffee Alcohol Why are these particular items avoided in the autoimmune paleo diet? The goal is to remove any foods that tend to be inflammatory in nature and can lead to dysbiosis.  Approximately 70% of the immune system is in the gut and the microbiota have key connections with the immune system so it makes sense to reduce inflammatory stress in this area as much as possible. The autoimmune paleo diet consists of the following: Fruit Vegetables Lean meats Fish Healthy Fats Coconut Sweet potatoes A few additional items that are emphasized are fermented foods to help maintain a healthy microbiota and bone broth for intestinal healing and nutrient density. How did the subjects eat in this study? All subjects followed a 6-week elimination phase and then a 5-week maintenance phase where no foods could be reintroduced.  The participants had a lot of support including a private Facebook page where they could interact with each other and share recipes and ideas. Additionally, they worked with a health coach and a registered dietician.  The subjects were educated on proper sleep hygiene, stress management, exercise instruction, grocery shopping and food preparation including how to make bone broth and the benefits of fermented foods.  Education against the use of NSAIDs was also provided since these lead to bowel inflammation and contribute to dysbiosis. They were also given two books:  “The Paleo Approach:  Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal Your Body” by Ballantyne and “The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook:  An Allergen-Free Approach to Managing Chronic Illness” by Trescott.  These are two excellent books on the autoimmune paleo diet. C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin were measured before and after the diet.  If you are a patient of mine you know that we always run c-reactive protein levels because it is an excellent marker of inflammation.
