Beyond Chronic Disease#114 - Healing Takes Work:Why There's No Quick Fix3 Reasons Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work
They Only Mask Symptoms, Not Solve the Problem
Pills, jabs, and other instant solutions might provide temporary relief, but they don’t address why the issue exists in the first place. True healing means understanding the root cause. Whether it’s diet, lifestyle, stress, or unresolved trauma, healing takes work.
Ignoring the Root Cause Can Make Things Worse
When symptoms are suppressed rather than resolved, the underlying issue often worsens over time. In my own life, I suffered mental trauma, which I believe contributed to the diseases in my b...2025-03-0912 minBeyond Chronic Disease#113 - Why I Left Meat Off My PlatePersonal Proof: My Health Speaks for Itself
Many people believe that you need meat to maintain strong bones, balanced cholesterol, and optimal protein levels but my own health proves otherwise. My protein markers, cholesterol, blood pressure, anti-inflammatory markers, and bone health are all in excellent proportion, and I don’t eat meat. This isn’t just luck; it’s the result of a nutrient-rich, plant-based diet that truly nourishes the body.
3 Reasons Why Meat is Detrimental to Your Health:
High in Saturated Fat, Linked to Chronic Disease
Meat, particularly red and processed varieties, is hig...2025-03-0209 minBeyond Chronic Disease#112 - The One Place to Avoid if You Suffer From Chronic Disease - The BakeryMy Struggle with Giving Up Bakery Products
Letting go of bakery foods wasn’t easy for me, and it wasn’t just about taste—it was about addiction. These foods are deliberately made to be irresistible, keeping us hooked on sugar and processed grains. But beyond that, we are conditioned to believe that they’re a normal, harmless part of our diet. We grow up celebrating with cakes, eating bread with every meal, and being told that these foods are staples. The idea that something so familiar could be making us sick is difficult to accept. But once I r...2025-02-2312 minBeyond Chronic Disease#111 - Why I Only Drink Pasteurised Milk (not homogenised)For me, milk should be as close to its natural state as possible. That’s why I only drink pasteurised milk because it undergoes the least processing. The more we interfere with food, the more we risk disrupting how our bodies recognise and digest it.
I learned this first-hand years ago when we had a cow. My husband could drink its fresh milk with no digestive issues whatsoever. But when he drank store bought milk, his stomach reacted badly. To understand why, we took the fresh milk to an allergy expert. The results were shocking. He had no...2025-02-1610 minBeyond Chronic Disease#110 - Your Inner Operator:How Trust and Courage Lead to RecoveryIn this episode, I shared the incredible results of taking my own advice and trusting the operator, as discussed in Episode 100. One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been learning to eliminate fear and embrace trust in the process.
In the case of eliminating Crohn’s from your body, it’s important to remember that the operator—and the trust—lies within you. Here are some of the remarkable successes you can achieve by leaning into that trust:
1. Mental Clarity and Calm

2. Know Your Body
Every person’s path is different because no two bodies are the same. Whether walking, yoga, or another form of movement suits you, the key is understanding what works for you. Your body holds the answers—listen to it and adapt accordingly.

1. Identify Triggers:
Keep a Food and Symptom Diary: Write down everything you eat and drink each day, along with any symptoms you experience. This will help you spot patterns and identify foods or habits that might worsen your condition.
Pay Attention to Non-Food Triggers: Stress, lack of sleep, and even certain activities can influence your symptoms. Note how these factors impact your day-to-day well-being.
Experiment Gradually: If you suspect certain foods or habits trigger symptoms, try eliminating one at a time for a few weeks to see if there's improvement.

Listen to Your Body’s Signals: Your body is always communicating with you, whether it’s through energy levels, digestion, or how you feel after meals. Pay attention to these cues—they can reveal what your body needs and help you make more informed health choices.
Plant Protein Packs a Punch: You don’t need to eat animals to meet your protein requirements. Plant-based options like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, and nuts offer ample protein, along with added benefits like fibre, antioxidants, and lower saturated fat. A varied plant-based diet can provide all the essential amino acids yo...2024-12-2210 minBeyond Chronic Disease#102 - Ending the Year Right Tackling Stress and Last-Minute To-Dos
Prioritise the Essentials: Write a list of everything that feels urgent, then rank the items in order of importance. Focus only on the top one or two priorities to avoid overwhelm. Remember, not everything needs to be done today.
Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break large tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Completing even a tiny part will give you a sense of accomplishment and reduce stress.
Take Immediate Action on Quick Wins: If a task takes less than five minutes, do it straight away. Clearing these smaller items can free up mental space and help you...2024-12-1611 minBeyond Chronic Disease#101 - Stop saying "I can't afford it"Stop saying "you can't afford it" here's why
1. It limits possibility thinking: Saying " I can't afford it" shuts down creativity and resourcefulness. Instead of looking for a way to make something possible you believe it is not possible, which creates a scarcity mindset.
2. It reflects a passive relationship with money: The phrase implies that money controls you rather than you controlling your financial decisions. You are the creator of all in your life.
3. It reinforces a negative money mindset: Constantly saying "I can't afford it creates a mental block around financial growth and...2024-12-0813 minBeyond Chronic Disease#99 - Purposeful Spending1. Sales Aren’t Savings
A sale doesn’t save you money if you don’t need the item. Buying something you don’t need is still spending money. Stop chasing discounts and focus on what truly matters.
2. Spend with Purpose
Shift from impulse buying to intentional spending. Only buy what supports your goals, whether it's saving, investing, or enjoying experiences. Purpose over pressure.
3. Less Stuff, More Freedom
True wealth isn’t about accumulating more. When you stop buying for the sake of sales, you gain financial freedom. Focus on what adds value to your life, not your shopping cart.

Eat More Whole Foods, Less Processed JunkFocus on a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses (legumes), and lean proteins. These foods are naturally low in unhealthy fats, and many (like oats, nuts, and oily fish) contain nutrients that can help lower LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and raise HDL ("good" cholesterol). Avoid ultra-processed foods, especially those containing trans fats (often found in margarine and some baked goods), which can increase bad cholesterol.

Sustainability: Many diets are not sustainable in the long term. They often involve restrictive eating that can lead to yo-yo dieting, which can be harmful to both physical and mental health. Focusing on balanced, intuitive eating can foster a healthier relationship with food.
Mental Health: Dieting can contribute to negative body image and disordered eating patterns. The pressure to adhere to strict rules can create anxiety and guilt around food, whereas a non-diet approach encourages self-acceptance and mindfulness.2024-11-0326 minBeyond Chronic Disease#95 - 5 Pillars of Recovery
Acceptance is about embracing reality as it is, without denial or resistance. It’s recognising and acknowledging your current situation, including your thoughts, emotions, and circumstances. By accepting where you are, you create a solid foundation from which you can make meaningful changes. This acceptance isn’t about resigning to your situation but rather about understanding and making peace with it so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.
Commitment is the driving force behind sustained change and growth. It involves a deliberate, unwavering dedication to your goals and values, even when faced with challenges or setbacks. It’s the fue...2024-10-2714 minBeyond Chronic Disease#93 - Beyond Crohns Unraveling the Science of Diet and Disease ManagementEating fruits and vegetables can be beneficial for people with Crohn's disease for several reasons:
Nutrient Density: Fruits and vegetables are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall health and well-being. Nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and magnesium are crucial for maintaining immune function and overall health, which can be particularly important for managing Crohn's disease.
Fibre Content: While fibre can sometimes be problematic during flare-ups, many fruits and vegetables provide soluble fibre, which is gentler on the digestive system compared to insoluble fibre. Soluble fiber can help regulate bowel mo...2024-10-1310 minBeyond Chronic Disease#92 - Freedom Beyond Dieting
Intuitive Eating: Listen to your body's natural hunger and fullness cues rather than following restrictive diet rules. This approach promotes a healthier relationship with food by focusing on internal signals rather than external guidelines.

Review all subscriptions: Take a close look at your monthly or yearly subscriptions. This includes streaming services, gym memberships, apps, and more. Cancel or change plans to live within your means.
Avoid Credit Dependency: Use cash or debit: Whenever possible, use cash or a debit card to pay for purchases. This helps prevent accumulating debt from credit card interest. Pay off existing debt: Focus on paying down existing debts, starting with high-interest ones and/or pay small debts off completely while still paying a reduced amount on larger ones.

By acknowledging the pressures and influence of societal, familial, or peer expectations, you can begin to understand how they shape your decisions and limit your true potential.
Exploring the importance of self-discovery and embracing your true identity. This involves identifying your own values, passions, and goals, separate from what others expect of you.

This distorted thinking increases stress and anxiety, even when there is no concrete evidence to support these negative outcomes.
When you make negative assumptions, you might act in ways that prevent positive outcomes from occurring. This self-fulfilling prophecy can limit your opportunities, as you may avoid taking risks, pursuing goals, or engaging in new experiences out of fear, ultimately leading to missed opportunities and regret.

A key aspect of truly living the dream is recognising and appreciating what you already have. It's about finding joy in the present moment, practicing gratitude for the small things, and understanding that fulfilment often comes from within rather than from external achievements.

When you’re sick, your body often redirects energy towards healing and fighting off illness. By not eating or reducing food intake, you allow your digestive system to rest, freeing up more energy for your body’s immune response and recovery processes.
Often, when we're sick, our appetite naturally decreases. This is your body’s way of telling you it needs a break from digesting food. Honoring this signal by not forcing yourself to eat can help you recover more quickly and comfortably.
Eating when you're sick can sometimes exacerbate symptoms, especially if your d...2024-08-1812 minBeyond Chronic Disease#83 - Why Arguing is a Waste of Time and Makes You Look Like a Fool
Why arguing gets you no where:
People tend to cling to their existing beliefs, filtering out information that contradicts them and only accepting what confirms their views. Arguing rarely changes this, as both parties often just reinforce their own positions rather than truly listening to the other side.
Arguments can become more about winning than understanding. When emotions get involved, people are less likely to consider new perspectives and more likely to dig in their heels, making the discussion unproductive.
Effective communication requires a shared understanding or common ground. Without this, arguments can...2024-08-0418 minBeyond Chronic Disease#82 - Beyond the Mind/Body: Your Thoughts in ActionIs your life a reflection of the way you think? Not sure?
