What is a spondy? This is an autoimmune condition I had never heard of. Join me as I interview Julianna Coughlin who is thriving despite the rather severe illness that she can have as a spondy also known as Ankylosing spondylitis. We talk about a variety of things including the damage that fad diets can cause, how each person needs to follow the diet or eating plan that best suits them, what she has learned as a dietician working with people with autoimmune conditions and other illnesses and at the end she tells me what Harry Potter house she thinks I come from. Discover what it is like to live life as a spondy and how you can thrive no matter what.
Julianna is a podcaster, runner, Harry Potter nerd (she's a Hufflepuff), demisexiual, dietitian, “spondy” and dog mom. Julianna lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts with her pittie Myrtle. Her two podcasts, Puffcast (Your Harry Potter Happy Place) and Into the Fold (A Grishaverse Podcast), are independently produced by herself with her two best friends Mel and Geoff. By day, she works as a registered dietitian for the VA. When she’s not walking her dog, podcasting or talking Potter she can be found running. She has run two Boston Marathons and a Chicago Marathon and has her eyes set onthe NYC marathon next. She also has a chronic illness called Ankylosing spondylitis (see “spondy” above) and is currently on the journey to finding her best treatment plan to combat this condition.
