State of Health Podcast #20: @CrohnsCarnivore on Putting Crohn's Disease in Remission with Carnivore DietOn this episode of the podcast, I am joined by Conor also known as @CrohnsCarnivore on Twitter. On May 14th 2023, Conor posted a stunning 6 month progress photo in which he looked in significantly better physical condition and captioned it with “Carnivore has saved my life.” I got in contact with Conor to ask him to come on the podcast to share his life story and give more context behind the picture and the caption. Conor shared how he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 12 years of age and all the symptoms associated with his particular case. He recounted his journey from taking steroids and immunosuppressant drugs to going vegan for 5 years and finally trying a carnivore diet for the last 6 months. I really enjoyed this conversation with Conor, particularly discussing the monumental mindset shift Conor had to undergo to switch from following a vegan diet to trying carnivore.

Episode SummaryFeeling uncertain can leave us feeling anxious, confused and stuck.  One thing I've learned working with clients and on my own personal growth journey is that uncertainty is necessary for deep and lasting change.  In this week's episode, you'll receive practical tools and examples to embrace uncertainty in a grounded, trusting and skilful way.  You'll learn ways to think about uncertainty as a positive sign of self-growth rather than a feeling of stuckness or fear. You'll experience a guided meditation to gain strength in uncertainty by integrating sources of strength available to you and activation of the solar plexus chakra for self-empowerment and alignment with your true nature. You'll be guided into a state of deeper alignment and grounding as you integrate self-love, gratitude and compassion into your present state of being.Episode NotesDo you sometimes feel lost?  Like you're navigating life's journey without a map?  Where it's hard to get clarity to set a goal and move forward. And your greatest wish is to be able to navigate times of uncertainty in a positive, focused and motivated way?Feeling uncertain can leave us feeling anxious, confused and stuck.  We're all wired like this as humans, in order to keep ourselves safe we will try to minimize risk and maximize reward. One thing I've learned working with clients and on my own personal growth journey is that uncertainty is necessary for deep and lasting change.  It can be quite unsettling when we can't get clarity on our next steps no matter what we do.  We can end up holding ourselves back from making decisions out of fear of not being certain about the next steps. So in order to keep moving forward to achieve your goal, trusting in uncertainty is essential.  Uncertainty is par for the course in major life transitions.  These can be natural transitions or ones brought about by devastating or shocking situations.  We also experience these when the collective consciousness is forced into a new way or new normal like we've all just experienced with the global pandemic.  And lastly (and this is the best one) when the personal growth work you've been doing culminates in an identity shift, allowing you to finally step into a new way of being.Trusting in uncertainty is like standing on the edge of a canyon seeing the other side and trusting that the earth will rise to meet your feet when you take the first step.Before we can have this level of trust, it is important to reframe uncertainty from a place of fear of the unknown to a place of empowerment and knowing that a safe delivery to the desired destination is guaranteed.In this episode, you'll learn ways to think about uncertainty as a positive sign of self-growth rather than a feeling of stuckness or fear. You'll receive practical tools and examples to embrace uncertainty in a grounded, trusting and skilful way.  You'll experience a guided meditation to gain strength in uncertainty and be guided into a state of deeper alignment and grounding as you integrate self-love, gratitude and compassion into your present state of being. Key Points include:How uncertainty is a positive sign of self-growth.Learn how identity shifts create uncertaintyHow to navigate identity shifts and bring forward the new identity.How trusting in uncertainty takes supportConnect to the support of your ancestorsUsing Movements of the Family Soul to release ancestral entanglements.How the Big/Little Dynamic must be healed before ancestral strength can be accessed.Guided meditation to find your centre, activate self-empowerment, connect with your ancestral support and integrate all parts of you into self-love, compassion and gratitude.

When Whitney met Mary she saw a professional woman with sharp wit and a lively countenance. Like so many grievers, Mary's grief was not visible on her surface. But when Mary confided in Whitney that she knew something of sudden loss and traumatic grief, when her new boyfriend died in a motorcycle accident, it was clear from the conversation that Mary's experience had changed her life. Whitney reflected on what she had been like at the age of 24, when life was endless possibilities and she embodied the youthful innocence that nothing bad would ever happen to her. What would that be like to have that ripped away overnight? And how would the 24-year-old Whitney have handled the grief she knows so well now? Whitney believes she would have have done well. And that was why she wanted to have Mary on the show to share a young adult's perception of grief and the ways it has changed her life.Are you a huge fan of the show?

Welcome to Week 8 of our Summer of Stories series! This summer we have been featuring stories of incredible moms that have endured significant challenges. Through these stories, we pray you will remember that God is faithful and always with you through life's most challenging moments. In this week's story, you will hear from the extraordinary Cleere Cherry Reaves. It's very likely that you have one of her beautiful products and didn't even know it. Her massive heart for Jesus pours right into her beautiful company. I have enjoyed so many of her books, devotions and gifts for years. In the first part of our chat, we talked about her business and entrepreneurial spirit. So many of us moms have a creative stirring from God and we often aren't sure what to do with that. How do we pursue a creative idea while raising kids? We often get overwhelmed and just put it aside. I'm praying that there's a few moms listening that need to regain confidence and motivation to explore the creative ideas God put inside your heart.The second part of our talk was my favorite! Cleere shares her story of going into labor prematurely and the miracle story that follows. Cleere's son, Sledge, has faced so many uphill battles and has suffered more than any mom wishes on their child. Maybe you have a child with a tough diagnosis? Or you know of another mom with a motherhood journey that went differently than expected? This episode is for us all. We can all learn from Cleere's undeniable faith and perseverance as she raises one strong and mighty boy.Love, CourtneyChapters00:00Introduction and Small Talk04:48Creating Products that Serve a Purpose09:36The Challenges and Rewards of Entrepreneurship13:03Starting a Business with a Specific Person in Mind16:11Supporting and Celebrating Others in the Entrepreneurial Journey28:12From Challenges to Miracles: Trusting God's Plan35:45The Impact of Perspective on Others37:37Embracing Authenticity and Finding Joy46:01Trusting in the Character of God49:59The Power of Community and SupportConnect with Pardon The Mess:Christian ParentingPardon The Mess Courtney DeFeoGet your 2024-2025 prayer journal, A Life of FaithResources from today's show:Cleerely StatedPromises from the Psalms - card set I bought EllaUnfiltered - Cleere's new devotionalStrongHeartPardon the Mess is part of The Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
