Sascha Alexander Geršak spielt eine der Hauptrollen in dem vierteiligen Fernsehfilm "Die Toten von Marnow". MDR Kultur hat er von einem frühen Bildungserlebnis erzählt: seinem Gabelstapler-Führerschein.

In der ersten Ausgabe von Subjektiv im Jahr 2020 war Sascha-Alexander Müller, Hochzeits- und Kindergartenfotograf aus Berlin, bei uns zu Gast. Sascha erzählt unter anderem von seiner Arbeit als Trainer für Fotografie und davon, wie er fünf Kinder und die Fotografie unter einen Hut bekommt.

Sascha Alexander sat down for a conversation and blew me away. Her openess, candidness, and willingness to talk about a very tender dream--and an arena she feels she has not succeeded in. Acting. This subject is so vital. Talking about things we haven't rocked the way we wished. Dreams that we haven't achieved. Talk about talking about things that don't get talked about. We hear so many rah-rah stories about people who HAVE done it, got there, are living their dream. What if we haven't? Does that make us less than? How do we navigate our inner feelings about not achieving it, in a society that celebrates big wins vs big learnings? We talk about all of this in this episode. It's so good. I loved our conversation so much. And Sascha is incredible. Find out more about Sascha at http://saschaalexander.com or @saschface on Instagram.

Join us for another joyous installment with the incomparable Sascha Alexander. Remember that time she thought she had toxic mold, in addition to interstitial cystitis, candida, and Hashimoto’s disease? Well, guess what? That toxic mold ain’t so moldy…it’s Lyme! Lauren sits down with Sascha to find out how she was ultimately diagnosed, and how she’s increasing her detox protocol to rid her body of one of the most insidious of invisible diseases: the tick-born illness, Lyme. Listen in as Sascha shares…  - that the detox protocols she had begun 5 years ago to treat toxic mold have actually given her a leg up on Lyme treatment, as some of these protocols overlap (infrared saunas, antibacterials/antimicrobials, coffee enemas)  - that she is now working with the same doctor Lauren works with for her thyroid: Dr. Lisa Hunt at Holtorf Medical Group  - that the more updated protocol for treating Lyme is to boost one’s immune system, rather than to deplete it entirely with long-term IV antibiotics  - that Sascha’s current treatment regimen includes ozone therapy, peptide therapy, and FMT (fecal microbiota transplantation)  - how Lyme works: it survives by destroying the inter- and extra-cellular nervous systems  - that Lyme and syphilis are both spirochetes, and can look similar under a microscope  - the different tests used to diagnose Lyme  - the gold standard for Lyme testing in the US: iGeneX, which is even more accurate and detailed than the Western blot test   - that Lyme thickens blood cells with biofilms (almost like an exoskeleton around the cells), and the biofilms need to be dissolved before treating the infection; this thickening of the blood is similar to HIV infection, as well  - Lyme is known as the “great imposter” because its symptoms can mimic, and it is often misdiagnosed as, one of the following: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, and CFS/ME  - her recommendation that anyone with symptoms related to RA, lupus, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, or CFS/ME also seeks out the assistance of an LLD, or Lyme Literate Doctor, to be thoroughly tested and rule out Lyme as a root cause  - that band 58 of her Lyme testing was the definitive indicator of her infection  - the relief and vindication that came with her definitive Lyme diagnosis  - that Lyme may be one of the worst diseases of all time, BUT it’s curable  - that Lyme causes autoimmune diseases – which may include her Hashimoto’s disease diagnosis  - that her current protocol is being undertaken in steps. First, she has to kill the Lyme in her system; next, she has to repair the damage the Lyme has done to her immune system  - that her doctor recommended stem cell treatment, but it’s very expensive and she finds her current regimen is working well  - what a fecal transplant (FMT) is, how donors are selected, and how it works – including all the dirty details!  - that C. diff (Clostridium difficile) is the only infection for which FMTs are currently FDA-approved; so FMTs are difficult to get a hold of otherwise, unless you find a doctor willing to help  - what distinguishes Bartonella and Babesia co-infections in Lyme  - how ozone therapy works: using O3, it kills pathogens in your blood on contact  - the healing process of Lyme: patients tend to get worse before they get better, and the die-off period during which they feel worse (generally flu-like symptoms, because the die-off releases toxins in the body) is called a “Herxhiemer reaction”, or Herx  - the process of being more “seen” by others since she got her Lyme diagnosis – because her network understands this diagnosis more than they did the previous ones  - how she has allowed her illness experience to change her for the better: she has learned self-compassion, and to ask for support with acceptance and grace  

Join us as we embark on a series of interviews in search of a diagnosis. Dayna Schaaf is an entrepreneur based in Phoenix, AZ. She started having symptoms a few months ago and has early possible diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis and/or lupus SLE. What does the search for answers in the invisible chronic illness world look like? How has it affected Dayna’s day-to-day? What about her access to healthcare? How has she found clinicians and community? What are the pitfalls – and the wins – of being on the hunt for a label? And should she allow that label to define her personhood as she gathers information?  Listen in as Dayna shares... - how she had an extended “summer flu” before she realized something more was going on  - that she thought initial physical pain symptoms were related to her favorite workout: boxing  - how she didn’t start exploring a deeper diagnosis until she found a lump in her armpit – which wasn’t cancerous, but seemed reactive (and which, in classic Dayna style, she has named…Nora the Node)  - why she recommends you bring a friend or advocate with you to your first mammogram  - that she has an aversion to doctors because of an early diagnosis of IBS, which she never felt was taken seriously  - that former guest and autoimmune wellness coach Sascha Alexander is part of her support system  - why she advocates for keeping a medical history file; Dayna keeps a medical notebook and brings it to every appointment, using it to track symptoms  - what indicators she has for lupus and for rheumatoid arthritis  - a detailed analysis of her blood work and x-rays  - the struggle to adjust her lifestyle as an active person with chronic fatigue, brain fog, and pain  - why working from home actually delayed her response to her symptoms – although it’s a saving grace that she’s able to dictate her own schedule as she seeks a diagnosis  - how she has to become deliberate with her time and energy during a flare  - the rush to meet the deadline to sign up for a comprehensive healthcare plan as she upgraded to cover her needs more effectively – and how much work it was to gather information and make a decision  - the key piece of advice that got her a doctor’s appointment right away despite a weeks-long waiting list: asking for the doctor’s cash rate  - that she believes in western medicine and science, but is also aware of her position as a customer in the rubric of American healthcare  - why she sought a functional/integrative practitioner to treat her symptoms and diagnose her  - her current doctor’s advice: “don’t get attached to your diagnosis. Just because you don’t have a clinical diagnosis doesn’t mean your symptoms aren’t real.”  - that, in order to get a clinical lupus SLE diagnosis, patients have to meet four of 11 total criteria  - her fear that people will think she’s faking it  - how gratitude journaling has helped her shift her mindset  - that nobody knows more about your body than you do: so take all advice you receive with a grain of salt, and remember any doctor on your team is a team member – but YOU are the CEO

Sascha Alexander, Life and Health Coach, Actress, Activist, Awesome Self-Advocate Sascha Alexander: Sascha has one of those all-too-common stories: Her symptoms began at eight years old and diagnoses only began trickling in 12 years later.  Migraines, sinus infections, and chronic yeast infections were just some of her complaints. Like many of us, she was over-treated with antibiotics and, quickly, her health started to unravel. With the onset of her period came a host of new symptoms which later led to a Hashimoto's diagnosis. However, getting Hashimoto's under control did not fix everything else. By 28, Sascha was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and her big five symptoms (as she calls them) were Migraines, intense fatigue, bladder and urinary pain, air hunger, bloating and abdominal dissension. Armed with self-advocacy and research, Sascha got to the bottom of her issues and began solving them herself. You know how I love people who take their health into their own hands! Today, two years after seeing the full scope of her health issues, Sascha has successfully lowered her autoimmunity by 80%. Yes, 80%! Find out how she discovered the root causes and cures for herself with her Jedi research skills. Sascha's coaching practice: www.saschaalexander.com IG: @saschface   Weekly Challenge: I'm gonna lay down some behind-the-scenes dirt: For this episode, Sascha gave me multiple weekly challenge options and I was pretty dead-set on one (because it was the easiest for me. Yikes!). But I always try to let the weekly challenge reveal itself in our conversation and—much to my dismay— the one I was set on just DID NOT reveal itself! So, this week we are gonna get way vulnerable—naked, you might say :). This IS a scary one guys, but I urge you to try.  The challenge is to share on social media once a day about your illness—how you feel, something you learned, maybe just an article that you relate to. Remember that it's not just for you, it actually helps other people—it inspires our friends to take better care of themselves, or to be honest about their own afflictions. My whole Instagram is dedicated to this. Let. People. In. You just might be surprised at how much love is thrown your way. Love on top of love on top of love. And when the haters reveal themselves, then you're just weeding out the people that you do not need to be "friends" with. Get on it and follow me @sheajackie to see how I do this!! Also please tag me in your adventures so I can love on you! Discussed in this Episode: Chronic Migraines Interstitial Cystitis Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Chronic yeast infection Women's health Sascha's determined six root causes of chronic illness Partnership and Romance while you're sick (minute 24) Why letting people in is so important Sascha's most effective treatments How Sascha lowered her autoimmunity by 80% IVIG—what it is, how to determine if you need it LDA treatments IV heavy metal chelation Sascha's unique triumphs Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Reverse T3 testing Partnership with illness Byron Katie Dr. Robin Bernhoft for LDA treatments Cytomel for Thyroid  Infrared Saunas   Happy Listening, friends!

This is a !!special!! edition of the WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk podcast, episode seven. I’m going to keep this intro short and sweet: You'll notice the timing is off on this one. This is actually an extra episode. Last WANTcast I asked you all if you’d like an extra episode before the new year and the typical three-week mark, and the answer was a resounding YES. So, here you go!What I decided to do is call up a friend of mine, actress and activist Sascha Alexander, who’s actually been on WANT before, and just see where the conversation took us. Which, turns out, always leads to the best conversations.We end up talking about upper limits, success hangups, pole dancing, empowerment, how to define yourself, endings, beginnings, what it’s like to go viral - and I end up revealing some news on here that I wasn’t really planning on. Lots of laughing, lots of deep talk…everything I love most. Endings and beginnings. I hope you all know how much I love you for listening and for joining me on this journey this year. It has been indescribable. Next year is bringing a lot of newness - think offline events, tons of really exciting WANTcast guests, and a couple things I can’t quite talk about yet - so be sure to go to the site and subscribe to weekly emails so you stay in the know. Let’s get down to it. Here’s the most off the fly WANTcast yet :)
