Key triggers for illness, such as stress, sugar, and always being 'on,' are identified and mitigated by slowing...2024-09-1915 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesHow to Use Food As Medicine: Step by Step GuideEpisode 53 https://callyrae.com/ Today I want to introduce you to what my husband calls God's pharmacy and teach you how to recognize food as medicine and to think of food a little bit differently. Think of medicine a little bit differently. And as a result, empower you to be the expert in your body. We'll start with thinking about food differently. In the SAD culture, Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, we definitely think about food as calories in, calories out. That is deeply ingrained in our culture.That is not how we view food in WOW, in using food as medicine, using food as fuel. We're looking deeper. We're looking more br...2024-08-2244 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW On Purposehttps://callyrae.com/ Living WOW On Purpose Episode 52 So what does it look like to be intentional? It’s simple but it’s not easy. Simple because anyone can do it but not easy because most won’t. The good news is that intention is found at the beginning of any change because you can’t change something you’re not aware of. So, if you are at the beginning of your transformation from surviving to thriving and WOW vs SAD is new to you this is still relevant. This episode will discu...2024-08-0841 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesIs Your Microbiome the Secret to Thriving with Autoimmune Disease?https://callyrae.com/ When I was going through my first transformation that I wrote about in 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving with Autoimmune Diseases the big revolutionary findings were focused on epigenetics and the fact that we could turn on or off our genetic predispositions with lifestyle choices. Now I am struck by the revolutionary findings of today which are focused on the microbiome and the emerging evidence that our lifestyle choices can support or sabotage our health based on the health of our “bugs” in, on, and around us. What...2024-07-2547 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesJust Breathe!Introduction to Breath Work Breath work is one of my all-time favorite lifestyle hacks. I think it’s underrated by most people. Because we breathe all the time, we just take it for granted and you don’t realize the power that is in your breath. There are a few reasons for that and today, I want to talk about intentional breathing. Living WOW is an intentional lifestyle choice rather than SAD which is autopilot. Everybody’s doing it. It’s the way we were raised, our beliefs and all those kinds of things...2024-07-1131 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesThriving with the SeasonsLiving WOW and Honoring the Seasons Today in the northern hemisphere it is the first day of summer and season change is something that is foundational in living WOW. Living WOW is a lifestyle of intention and choice and part of that is honoring the seasons. I was first introduced to season change back when I was doing Ama Bodywork and Chinese Medicine. She introduced me to a book called Staying Healthy with the Seasons by Elson M Haas MD. Each season change I pull out the book and flip to the chapter about the...2024-06-2740 min

It has been a long time since I’ve downloaded a new episode or recorded a new episode, and I am back. I’m super excited but there have been many changes that have happened since I took what I thought was going to be a 3 month pause from the podcast so that I could get through that senior year of high school with my last daughter at home and it turned into a year and a half.

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesTop 8 Interpreters for Body LanguageLast week I promised you that I would introduce you to some interpreters for Body Language. The crazy thing is that you are innately equipped to speak fluent Body Language but just like any language you need to learn, practice, and refine your communication skills. Living in the modern world with access to information and technology on a continual basis has in many ways stunted our development and understanding of Body Language. Continuous and often loud or conflicting messages can be overwhelming to tune out and go within to hear and feel what your body is speaking...2022-12-2918 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesThe Questions You AskOne of the most obvious ways your body communicates with you is what you may recognize as a symptom. Your body speaks to you both negatively and positively but because of our human negativity bias for survival, you will likely focus on the pain in your back rather than the strength in your back. There is a natural tendency to focus on what is wrong rather than what is right. Last week's episode introduced the concept that wholeness, health, and optimal vitality are the natural condition of the body. It is from that state of ease and...2022-12-2213 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesThe Voice You FeelIn today's episode let's take a look, or really a listen, at what Body Language sounds like. You likely already have some familiarity just like you do when you see someone speaking sign language or hear a foreign language that you have familiarity with but not necessarily a personal understanding or use. You recognize some aspects but they don't carry any meaning for you because you don't have the pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar to interpret them. The amount you tune in to one of these foreign conversations is likely dependent upon your level of knowledge and interest...2022-12-1512 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesIgnoring Your Best FriendLast episode I introduced you to Body Language and invited you to take on learning the language that your body speaks to you. Did you do your homework? Did you learn to count to 8 in Body Language? If so you have a foundational knowledge of the communication environment of your body! Your binge listening and review of the 8 Lessons and the 8 Systems has created a communication-rich environment for learning. If you haven't done your homework, you can still listen to today's language lesson but don't expect to become fluent if you don't practice. You must create an...2022-12-0813 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesBody LanguageAre you ready to learn a new language in 2023? Learning a new language is proven to stimulate new neural pathways and keep the mind sharp. While it is true that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn a new language, it is possible to learn a new language at any age. The language I would like to introduce you to is Body Language. This is not the body language you probably already speak fluently which we professionally refer to as nonverbal and pragmatic language. Rather, I am referring to the language of your body...2022-12-0113 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesAn Attitude of GratitudeAs I record this podcast episode the house is brimming with the sounds and smells of Thanksgiving. The 3rd Thursday of November is celebrated in the United States as a national holiday of Thanksgiving. A traditional feast to celebrate harvest and friendship creates an opportunity for family and friends to gather around a table and reflect and give thanks. Since Living WOW Out Loud airs on Thursday mornings, if you are listening in real time (maybe while the turkey is in the oven), then let me wish you a happy Thanksgiving. I pray you are surrounded by thos...2022-11-2412 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesFood for ThoughtThe many roles of food, the versatility of food, the intimacy of food. Food is so much more than what you put in your mouth. The way you use food is the one thing that you can individually control. You can control what you put in your mouth or what you do not put in your mouth. Food can be used to express compassion as we take food to those that are ill or in mourning. Food can be used as a way to punish yourself. When you are angry with your body for some reason you...2022-11-1713 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLove ConnectionAs I was preparing for this "connection" episode of the podcast the old television game show "Love Connection" came to my mind. So cheesy but really a fun memory around connection. What happens in the body when you are isolated? Serious health conditions like anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, memory loss, aggression, insomnia just to name a few. Social isolation increases your risk for premature death as much as smoking and obesity. All of this due to the complex effects of neural, genetic, hormonal, behavioral and emotional physiology. We came out of the pandemic isolation distanced...2022-11-1015 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesThat's What HE Said: Living WOW Men's EpisodeToday's episode is the popular interview format with non-other than my better half, Joff. No one has been closer to the transformation from SAD to WOW and from surviving to thriving than my husband. I value his perspective as a man who has always been supportive of what I needed to do for my health but now recognizes the value and benefit of living WOW for his health. Listen to the end to find out his recommendations and plans for growing old. Of course, he's just as obsessed with personal protection and martial arts as I am with health...2022-11-0325 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesWhat's Up With Fasting?Have you noticed that fasting has entered into the mainstream of diet fads? You may have heard the term “intermittent fasting” or seen the ads for a diet program that helps you jump on the intermittent fasting bandwagon. You may also have heard me say that Living WOW isn’t a diet or a fad but rather a lifestyle of awareness and a series of perpetual choices. So when I’m asked about intermittent fasting the reality is that it is an integral part of Living WOW but probably not for the reasons you might expect. When I examin...2022-10-2713 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesWhat's Your Excuse?Although it wasn't one of the 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me that I wrote about directly; PREVENTION definitely feels like a topic that needs to be addressed because too many of us are lulled into complacency. I didn't address it in the book because I had missed the proverbial boat and was in full blown crisis. I know I was complacent and thought I was doing ok when really I just didn't realize that pain and fatigue ARE NOT NORMAL. Taking medications IS NOT NORMAL. 50% of adults have a chronic condition. 80% of diseases are preventable. Staggering facts that most adults...2022-10-2017 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesHealing IS Natural After AllIt is time to wake up, return to your roots, and realize that you are the expert in your own body. Over the past 50 years, there has been a startling rise in the number of autoimmune diseases and chronic diseases in the United States and around the world. Just as startling is the realization that we have brought it on ourselves. Why in the world would I say that? Because it is true. As was learned with the human genome project and further supported by the ongoing microbiome research, these diseases are not hereditary as once thought...2022-10-1313 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesBridge Over Troubled WaterWhere will you be in 15 years? If you would have told me 15 years ago what I would be doing today, I would have told you that you were crazy! At that time, I didn't know what I didn't know. I was running on autopilot. I was doing what I needed to do because it was what needed to be done. Sure, I was tired, but who wouldn't be keeping the schedule I kept? Sure, I had chronic pain, but I had rheumatoid arthritis and nothing helped so I just lived with it. Doesn't everyone hurt? It's part...2022-10-0617 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesHow Are You REALLY?My heart is heavy, and I feel like it is necessary to speak about mental health here on this platform in a way that is quite raw and real. The Living WOW Lifestyle was created as an alternative to the living SAD lifestyle that we default into with our culture and beliefs. It has evolved as an awareness of the choices you make on a daily basis from the foods you choose to consume or not, the self-care you make time for or don’t, the priority you give to your health and ultimately thriving. It’s lear...2022-09-2912 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesTaking Cues From NatureAs we transition into the Autumn season the cooler temperatures and fall harvest cue us to begin transitioning and preparing for winter. Autumn is the season of change and preparation. Spring is a time of planting, Summer is massive growth, and now in the Fall you get to reap the benefits of all your hard work. Of course, that doesn’t mean the work is over, rather it is changing. We can take cues from nature and do the exact same thing in our lives. For me personally, this transition season has always been the most difficult se...2022-09-2213 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 8~Driving ConditionsAs we wrap up the 8 Systems Framework series it is worthwhile to point out that this final system is both external and internal. I include it in the 8 Systems Framework because it is impossible to separate yourself from or ignore the driving conditions completely. Additionally, for the most part, you have very little, if any, control over the driving conditions. With that said you must be aware of what they are and how they affect your vehicle and the journey so that you don’t end up in an accident or breakdown due to unsafe or undesirable conditions. ...2022-09-1513 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 7~Indicator LightsYour body is telling you what it needs. Are you listening? Are you too busy to hear it? Do you know the language of your body? Are you experiencing deep fatigue? Irritable bowels, diarrhea, bloating, constipation? Headaches? Brain fog? Rashes? Do you have pain? Where at and what kind? Some symptoms may appear universal but actually can be specific and telling with your autoimmune disease. When you begin to understand what is happening in your body it speaks the answers that can help lead you to the underlying trigger. A personal example for me is...2022-09-0818 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 6~NavigationI spoke briefly of the navigation system during the introduction of the Driver of System 5. Remember that the driver does what it is told with the purpose of getting you to your destination safely. But how do you know where to go? Your navigation system! Of course, you will see navigation helps all along the journey. This may be in the form of signs, maps, or even other drivers giving you information that was useful to them. What is unique and personal to you, however, is your personal navigation system. Your navigation system is beyond...2022-09-0117 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 5~The DriverWho is driving your vehicle? Well, your mind of course! Your mind is an interesting character because it is made up of both a physical organ, your brain, and an energetic intelligence that is eternal. I think of the mind as the bridge that connects the physical body and the energetic/spiritual body so that the 2 realms cross over and communicate in their respective roles. Now before you check out because I'm getting too woo-woo on you, consider "opening your mind" to the concepts, capabilities, and limitations of your mind as the driver of your car in...2022-08-2515 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLesson 8~ All You Need Is (Unconditional) LoveBonus Episode 9! The final episode in the 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving To Thriving With Autoimmune Diseases bonus podcast series. This episode includes both the final Lesson 8: All You Need Is (Unconditional) Love and also (bonus within a bonus) the final chapter Closing Thoughts to wrap up the book. This final lesson 8 is the most personal and difficult, even now. Maybe because it's the most important or maybe because I'm still refining. As I reflect, I think I first learned this lesson very close to home in my marriage. I share personal insights and the process o...2022-08-2319 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 4~OilSystem 4 Oil relates to supplements in the human body. This is a system that is kind of a subsystem because it is related to your fuel but it's not the same as your fuel. You have to have oil to keep your engine working properly. It’s also part of maintenance because you have to change it routinely and which oil you use depends on your vehicle, much like your fuel and other required maintenance. Systems 2, 3, and 4 all have an interconnectedness but I break them out because they each have a different purpose, schedule, and focus. ...2022-08-1818 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 3~MaintenanceWhat maintenance equates to for the human body is self-care and movement because that is how we keep our systems in tip-top shape. It's less intense or focused than nutrition because it's more routine and honestly easier to make excuses or let it go. If you think about your car you do routine maintenance every day. Your maintenance schedule is different based on the make, model, or age of your car. You wash it, you take the trash out, and you drive it within the parameters it was designed for. If it is an older model you...2022-08-1116 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLesson 7~ The Chrysalis PeriodBonus Episode 8! I use the butterfly to symbolize the transformation in my coaching practice. For me, the butterfly is symbolic of transformation. As I selected the butterfly for symbolism, I still felt very much like a caterpillar surviving, going around munching on leaves and crawling on the ground, literally just trying to survive. That period with my autoimmune diagnoses when I realized what I was dealing with and that the strategies that I had employed throughout my life for survival were in fact sabotaging me and making my health worse. That is when I realized...2022-08-0916 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLiving WOW Framework: System 2~ FuelThis is episode 2 of 8 in the Framework Series: The second system in the framework to become the expert in your body is far more obvious and familiar to you. Fuel. However, I’ll preface with just because it is obvious and familiar does not mean that you have a healthy understanding of this system. Why would you? The information that is fed to you, to all of us, in the standard American diet (SAD) is founded on old science, enormous marketing and lobby efforts from the food industry, and cultural norms and beliefs. Do you fe...2022-08-0418 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesFramework to Become the Expert in Your Body: System 1~Battery & ElectronicsThis is episode 1 of 8 in the Framework Series: Even though food/fuel was the catalyst for my initial change and is certainly foundational for healing. I really didn't understand energy until a lot farther down my transformation journey (in fact, it was one of the later lessons learned). As I put together the framework for thriving, I realized that energy needs to be addressed first. It is your batteries and your electronics using the analogy of the vehicle. If your battery is dead you're not going anywhere. Even if your battery is not dead, it...2022-07-2823 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLesson 6-How Do You Eat An Elephant?Bonus Episode 7! This chapter of 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving with Autoimmune Diseases reflects on my progression from autopilot urgency of control, perfection, and busyness. As I share a couple of experiences that gave me the realization that prioritization, delegation, and excellence were better choices that I would, over time, come to appreciate and demonstrate. Running mock 10 with my hair on fire had taken its toll on my health. In order to thrive with autoimmune disease it's necessary for me to prioritize 3 things each day and let the rest go. Listen to find out how I...2022-07-2615 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesIntroducing the 8 System SeriesAfter realizing that I was once again surviving with my autoimmune diseases, I made a decision. Feeling literally like I had been transported back in time 12 years, I made the choice to once again take my life back. More specifically, my lifestyle. I knew that I had transformed my health with lifestyle choices once, so I could do it again. In the fall of 2020, I set out on transformation 2.0. I could no longer deal with the pain, flares, exhaustion, fear, and hopelessness. So I started with three steps: 1) I set the intention. I knew that I...2022-07-2114 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesStart Here...Where You AreEpisode 12! Lifestyle changes can be so overwhelming that most people won’t even begin. We rationalize it’s not a good time. I have _________________ coming up (holiday, birthday, event). It’s too hard. I don’t have that kind of willpower. What will people think? My family won’t do it. Unfortunately, in my experience, most people will live in either the River Denial or on Someday Isle until something brings some unpleasant reality and needed perspective that brings a level of desperation that transplants them to I AM and I’m Possible. I am no exception...2022-07-1417 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLesson 5~Empty Your CupBonus Episode 6! This chapter of 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving with Autoimmune Diseases is based on the philosophy of Bruce Lee in martial arts. You empty your cup of knowledge so that you can take more in. If you are so sure that your way is the right way or the only way or that you are an expert and don't need to learn any more; your cup is full and you are not able, or should I say willing, to learn more knowledge. I have found that this applies in two ways for...2022-07-1219 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune Diseases3 Things You Probably Never Thought About FoodEpisode 11! What to eat to thrive with autoimmune disease is definitely the question I get asked the most. Food as medicine was definitely what got my attention and started me on the transformation journey from surviving to thriving. Although it's not everything, food is by far the essential foundation in healing your body. It can be the catalyst to move from a sick cycle to a healthy cycle. There is so much more to food than meets the eye, it's understandable that most people don't recognize the potential that is in that bite you are taking. 2022-07-0718 min

I learned to drive at a very young age in the fields on the farm in tractors and equipment too small to even reach the pedals on my dad's lap. For me, driving has always felt like a sense of freedom and independence. It's probably no coincidence that I find a lot of answers and symbolism in the vehicle and the journey. Today's message carries the metaphor of the vehicle I spoke about in episode 5 into our individual journeys. Today we share the road in...2022-06-2315 min

It took me a while to figure out the rest of the story… In my book 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving With Autoimmune Diseases I chronicle this journey in recognizing first the foundation of nutrition to heal my body and then the recognition of how important my mi...2022-06-1617 min

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesBonus: Lesson 3~Who Were You Born To Be?Bonus Episode 4! This chapter of 8 Lessons Lupus Taught Me: From Surviving to Thriving with Autoimmune Diseases was a lesson that taught me about learning to listen to my spirit...something that had gotten lost in the noise of the world with expectations and beliefs. A huge 'ah-ha' occurred when I realized that living in conflict with who I was meant to be was creating an internal conflict that presented as autoimmune flares. Who were YOU born to be?

I just saw a similar type of activity, a meme that had a list of activities you have done in your life where you score how many of the activities you have done in your life and share it with your friends having them do the same.

Living WOW Out Loud: Thriving With Autoimmune DiseasesLesson 2: Eat Your Fruits & VeggiesThis chapter tells the story of how I learned the power of whole food nutrition. My accidental encounter with Juice Plus whole food supplements was the catalyst to go from a negative health cycle to a positive health cycle. This was also the lesson that taught me the power of nutrition becoming a self-proclaimed anti-oxidant junky with a secret weapon against aging. This early lesson was powerful and I continue to eat and recommend Juice Plus products 13 years later.
