And this is Limitless Health.

Amanda Golightly [00:00:19]:
Live well, naturally.

Kate McDowell [00:00:22]:
Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Limitless Health podcast. We're really excited about today's episode because we're diving into something that affects so many people, especially if you've been struggling with your health and been feeling stuck. If you've tried everything and you're not feeling results, this episode is gonna be great for you.

Amanda Golightly [00:00:43]:
We're gonna talk about why your body may not be healing the way it should and what could be standing in the way. If you're like many people out there and you're tired of hearing everything looks normal when you know something's not right, stick around. We've seen so many women struggle with this and we're going to break down what's really happening.

Kate McDowell [00:01:04]:
Saying that one of our colleagues has, one of our fellow health practitioner friends always says is your body is always trying to heal itself. And the interesting thing here is what we need to figure out is what's getting in the way or what's missing. And that's a lot of what we're gonna talk about today and then in something else that we have to, share with you and offer to you. So many people listening today may feel like symptoms are just a part of life. I heard a great quote that said, my my life was shrunk to the size of my symptoms, and I definitely know what that feels like. I'll share a little bit more about my own personal journey with health challenges later, but this is talking about things like fatigue that just doesn't go away. We've had clients where they can sleep for 12 hours or more, and they wake up and they feel like they didn't get any sleep at all. Or brain fog.

Kate McDowell [00:01:55]:
Brain fog is a really common one, especially women over 40. It's something that happens, and it's it just feels like it won't go away, and no one can tell you what's going on. Or there's skin rashes or digestive problems that come up just kind of randomly, or they get better a little bit, but then they come back again. It's like, what the heck is going on? And if this is something that you're experiencing, you've probably tried tried diets and supplements or even medications, but nothing seems to fix the problem. And as I said, I've been there my 4 I've been there myself, so I completely understand how frustrating this can be.

Amanda Golightly [00:02:30]:
Mhmm. Yeah. I get it too. Just with you mentioning the skin issues, I'm still working on that for one of my hands. It used to be both hands, but it's really improved over the many years. Yeah. It can be frustrating when you're throwing a band aid at it and it's, you just intuitively, I, at least I did, you know, it's not going to fix the problem. Yeah.

Amanda Golightly [00:02:52]:
And for a lot of people, this frustration comes from not knowing what's really going on. And as I just said, you've gone to your doctor. You're they've told you your tests are normal, but you just know that something's not right. And and for us, we believe we believe you when you say that because we know because we've been there ourselves. We know intuitively when we're connected to our body, we know something's just not quite right. And like, we've we've we know we understand where you are and we get it.

Kate McDowell [00:03:24]:
Yeah. So my experience, I was diagnosed with MS when I was 22 years old. And I had a pretty easy situation, some people will say, because my diagnosis came really quickly, which I know some people, especially when it's something autoimmune, you can go to the doctor over and over again. They run all kinds of tests, and you start to kind of feel like second guess yourself. I had that later in life with hormone related stuff. I went to my doctor, I went to a gynecologist that was very highly regarded in the city I was in. And she said, well, nope, your results came back as normal. Maybe it's all in your head.

Kate McDowell [00:04:00]:
And it can feel overwhelming and crappy when doctors are just kinda looking at you like, a, they don't believe you

Amanda Golightly [00:04:08]:
Mhmm.

Kate McDowell [00:04:08]:
And, like, it's like it's all in your head, and it's when you know deep down that something's going on, it can be really frustrating. Doctors told me when I was diagnosed that I just had to live with it. They told me that there's nothing you can do. But now I've been symptom free for 8 years without relying on medication, and that's not because of medicine. It's because I made the decision to take things into my own hands and look for other options, look for natural options. And since then, I've looked for ways to help other people too, because people saw my results, and they were like, what are you doing? There's such a huge change. What are you doing? Because I know so many people are suffering. And so since then, Amanda and I worked together in a business called Align Natural Health, and we've helped hundreds of women overcome autoimmune issues like Hashimoto's, like celiac disease, like endometriosis, and more.

Kate McDowell [00:05:01]:
All things that medicine says there's nothing you can do. And that just means there's nothing they can do. And unfortunately, this is something where we have to we have to do our own exploring and research, but there are lots of people that are more than happy to help you. So I hope that you you'll find today's episode interesting. And that's something that we try and provide on our show all the time is just other opportunities for people because the Western medicine model is necessary. We need to have it. It's important for emergency situations. But when it comes to autoimmune, they just don't know what to do.

Kate McDowell [00:05:37]:
They don't have solutions. And it doesn't mean that you're alone and that you're stuck and that you're out of luck and that you just have to live with it. It means it just means that you need to find someone who's willing to help you look deeper and get to the root cause, which is how we help people.

Amanda Golightly [00:05:54]:
Absolutely agree. And we have many other stories that we've heard from other practitioners that we know and through our own clients that we've had. And the stories are very, very inspiring like yours as well, because we can't diminish the everything that you've gone through, the steps, the decision you made to explore and find something different. You were tired of what you were dealing with, and you made that decision to do something else. And I know there are many other people who are listening right now who are about to make that very same decision and just know there are resources out there for you. You are not alone. There are ways to get better. And one of the other clients that we we personally work with, Namiki, she had horrible, horrible periods and endometriosis pain.

Amanda Golightly [00:06:47]:
She was struggling with PMS symptoms that just like many other women that we've talked to made life miserable every month. And for some other people we've talked to, basically, you had to plan out 3 days where you're not going to be able to function. And it's absolutely horrible. But after working with us, she is now having way easier periods and no more PMS and so much less pain, which is really fantastic because if you don't have to, what's it like to not have to worry about these things? Life changing for many women. And this is what happens when we get to the root cause. It's so crucial to solve the root cause in order for these things to get better.

Kate McDowell [00:07:29]:
Yeah, absolutely. I've had clients too where there's the stress around. I might lose my job because I have to call in sick to work all of the time. It's not necessarily around period. Well, it's usually around period related stuff. I know someone who had migraines before she started working with us, and she had to lock herself in her room for like 3 days out of the month because her migraines were so bad and so couldn't go to work. And that gets stressful. Bosses start passing over for promotions, and

Amanda Golightly [00:07:57]:
Mhmm.

Kate McDowell [00:07:57]:
This woman had kids. And so what are your kids supposed to do when you're having to do that? And medicine will just say, oh, here, just take this medication. And it's like, yeah, but it's not solving the problem for you. Again, as Amanda said, if you're not digging deeper and figuring out what's causing it. I have another story actually that I'd love to share. I'll tell you about Tree. Tree was running on empty forever. She was relying on coffee and exercising regularly and snacking throughout the day just to get by.

Kate McDowell [00:08:28]:
And, like, Tree is a very energetic person. She was a yoga instructor in the past. She runs multiple businesses. She's, like, super high vibe and positive. And her family and her coworkers actually thought she was mad at them because she was quiet, because she was exhausted all of the time. And no matter what she tried, her energy just just wouldn't come back, just wouldn't bounce back. And she thought, Oh, I'm getting closer to menopause. Maybe this is just a change and maybe this is just the way things are.

Kate McDowell [00:08:55]:
But what menopause means, if you're directly translating it, is menses pause, which means your periods stop. But it doesn't mean that you have to go through all of the symptoms associated with that. Tree also had osteoarthritis, so that's where the autoimmune connection is there as well, but it was again just something that medicine said, oh, just take this prescription, which is just a Band Aid and not solving the problems for her. And when you just put Band Aids on things, it's like putting like silencing your smoke detector or your smoke alarm in your house. It's not gonna fix the problem. I'm trying to think of a way to explain, but essentially, the symptoms get louder. It starts with a whisper, and if you're not paying attention, the body the symptoms get louder. And I know it's so common for people with autoimmune.

Kate McDowell [00:09:45]:
It starts with 1 autoimmune and then ends up being 2 autoimmune and then 3. And it just keeps escalating because you're not dealing with the root of the problem. I had wasn't diagnosed with Hashimoto's, but I had some really high, antibodies around thyroid for a while, so they weren't sure if it was a Hashimoto's thing. I had a PCOS pattern for a while. And it's like, if you ignore the the autoimmune and just keep masking it, more things are just gonna show up for you. And so with Tree, like, once we got to the root cause, we figured out for her. Hers is really interesting, especially for the the joint pain that she was dealing with and the fatigue, fragrance fragrances came up for her. We found that she had Glade plug ins all over her house.

Kate McDowell [00:10:33]:
And when we she removed that, oh, there was something else too. There was a a histamine related thing with red wine. But when we removed the Glade plug ins from her house within a week, the pain in her fingers, her joint pain went away. And it's amazing. It's things like this, like unexpected things that can have a make a huge difference on people. And it's not about what you need to do. It's about what you need to stop doing, or what you need to remove from your environment that your body is reacting to. And so for her, her energy has completely shifted.

Kate McDowell [00:11:04]:
Her joint pain's gone. She's getting so much stuff done in her business. Like, I hear that every week. I can't believe how much I'm getting done. And it's just amazing to see the transformations that happen in people when we can give the body what it needs to heal.

Amanda Golightly [00:11:18]:
Yeah. It's pretty incredible. And it just, it does kind of make me laugh sometimes when we've seen this pattern as far as what comes up as a root cause for clients. And it's very often not what you expect at all or not what's first on your mind. And another client that we have, Nadine, she struggled with digestive problems for so long. They became her normal And she had cut her coffee. She switched cleaning products and followed all the advice, but nothing worked. She was so frustrated hearing her doctors say, there's nothing wrong with you.

Amanda Golightly [00:11:53]:
Right. Like many other women and yourself have heard this. But we dug deeper, and we incurred hidden triggers that were affecting her digestion. And now she's actually free from those issues. And again, life changing not to have to maybe not leave your house because you have to be concerned with where all the bathrooms are from point a to point b, which is I'm sure I haven't experienced that, but very stressful to have to be on have the map laid out for all those things, though, to switch that and not have to worry about it all. It's not even a thought. Like, what a fantastic result.

Kate McDowell [00:12:29]:
Yeah. That's I mean, MS related, that was something not because of digestive issues, but that was someone something I had to know where the bathroom was anytime I went into a ball, anytime, anywhere, because it was like, I have to pee and I have to pee right now. And if the bathroom was, like, a 10 minute, 15 minute walk away, it was not a good situation. So, yeah, when you start to resolve these things, like I said, I've been symptom free for 8 years. I don't have any of the issues that I used to have with MS before, but I definitely can can remember it and can relate back when people are dealing with any kind of autoimmune related symptoms. And here's the thing we've realized with working with so many women, as I said with Tree, sometimes it's not about you have to do more. A lot of the people that come to us are doing a lot of things. They've tried a lot of things.

Kate McDowell [00:13:18]:
They've tried a lot of different diets. They've tried different supplements and all kinds of different routines. And sometimes it's actually more about stopping what's getting in the way of your body's natural healing process. As I said, your body is always trying to heal, and sometimes we need to figure out if it's not, what's getting in the way or what's missing. And as I mentioned for tree, the glade plug ins were a really big problem. And glade plugins, I mean, any fragrance. Think about your house right now. Think about how many things you have in your house that smell.

Kate McDowell [00:13:51]:
That could be I used to spray cologne perfume on my thyroid every single day because I thought it smelled good. Right? But that's disrupting your hormone system and your hormones and your and your immune system and so many different everything in the body is interconnected. And so if it's something like fragrance, all we did was switch her Glade plug ins to she has a dog, so she was like, I don't want my house to smell like dog. So we switched it to essential oils, and, like, the change was incredible. So it's not always about, like, you have this laundry list of things that you have to start doing, which can be overwhelming. When you're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, it's it can be stressful to think, okay, so I have to do 28 new things to hopefully feel a little bit better. But sometimes it's just making little shifts to the things that you are doing that can make a really big difference. And often when you go to a practitioner, I've experienced this in the past.

Kate McDowell [00:14:45]:
I have a whole box of supplements that didn't end up getting used and medications as well. You go to a practitioner, you go to a doctor, they'll often add more and more and more supplements, medications, treatments. But what if the first step was actually removing the things that are causing the symptoms to begin with?

Amanda Golightly [00:15:06]:
Mhmm. Exactly. That just made me kind of think of like a puzzle and finding out where the first pieces that you have to touch or put together.

Kate McDowell [00:15:15]:
Mhmm.

Amanda Golightly [00:15:15]:
And this is this is exactly how we need to approach things. We want to find the first step to what's priority for your body. And it's really cool that we have the technology enabled in order to do that. And we're gonna dive deeper into that in our upcoming webinar where we'll show you how to stop what's getting in the way and start doing those specific specific things that will make a big difference for you. And this is how you start seeing real improvements because when we're making selections that are what you need to do first, what's priority, that's when you see the most results because it's what your body needs the most.

Kate McDowell [00:15:52]:
Yeah. And that's something that I think is important to touch on briefly as well because as I said, sometimes you can go to a practitioner or multiple practitioners. I remember going to doctors and it was like my GP would send me to specialist after specialist after specialist, And all of them would be like, here's this medication, and you end up with this, like, covered full of supplements, medications, all these remedies. But what we like to focus on is finding what's priority for your body. What's the least amount of you explain this better, Amanda. What's the least amount of actions you can take to get the best result, the best outcome?

Amanda Golightly [00:16:33]:
At least a minute change to get the best, the most effective outcome, I guess. Yeah.

Kate McDowell [00:16:37]:
Yeah. Exactly. And again, it's not about doing more, but alright. So we're gonna talk about a few of the root causes. So hopefully everyone who's listening to this, now if you have Glade plugins, you're gonna go home and you're gonna throw those away. Right? And you're gonna switch them for essential oils or if you have scented candles. Like, all of these things essentially are toxic to your hormone system, to your endocrine system. And they're gonna cause all kinds of issues in the body.

Kate McDowell [00:17:06]:
They're they they're not both designed to be there. They're not meant to be there. And if you're dealing with autoimmune and I'll talk about it a little bit more in a minute as well. But I believe that autoimmune is your body is attacking with something that doesn't belong there. So get rid of your fragrances, please. It'll benefit you so much. And the next one that I wanted to talk about is radiation. And this is another one that's really overlooked when it comes to root causes.

Kate McDowell [00:17:33]:
It's something that we don't think about, and it can have a huge impact on your health. We're exposed to radiation every day. Who has a cell phone on them most of the time or by them or by their head when they're going to bed at night? This can have a huge impact on your health. We're exposed to ray radiation every single day. Again, through our cell phones, through our computers, Wi Fi, even Apple Watches. And while we might think that they're harmless on their own, okay, yes, it's possible, but it layers on. It adds up. Right? If you turn on your cell phone right now and look at or your computer and look at how many Wi Fi signals you have access to.

Kate McDowell [00:18:21]:
I live in a townhouse. There's more than 10 easily, And like all of that is impacting you. So this is a really big factor on our bodies and we'll dig into this a bit more in the podcast as well. But, yeah, it's it's an interesting thing to think about, but what's it what's it doing to yourselves? Right?

Amanda Golightly [00:18:41]:
And we got to talk about this a bit yesterday. And the, the comparison I thought of was basically because as Kate said, there's so many Wi Fi signals around if you, especially if you live in a more confined neighborhood. And just think if all of those because all frequency, everything's frequency. So just think of playing one song and then just think all of those other signals are additional songs and those are all those songs are coming at your body. So if you were in a room and there were at least 10, 15 songs playing, how would you feel? Yeah. This is basically what's happening to us all the time, but maybe we're not consciously aware of it. But if you had actual music playing, you couldn't help but be aware. It's, it's the same kind of thing.

Amanda Golightly [00:19:29]:
These are just all the things that are bombarding us. And it's what are the methods we're going to do to reduce as much as we can? Because it's, it's one of those things where it's kind of inevitable. So how can we best reduce these things and help support our bodies?

Kate McDowell [00:19:44]:
Yeah. And so here's a quick win for you today that you can start that ultimately will make a difference for you. Try limiting your exposure to Wi Fi and devices. This is a conversation I have with clients every single day because in our initial assessment, this is a question that's always asked is where is your cell phone when you go to bed at night? And, like, I think I've had 2 in the hundreds of people that we've worked with. I maybe do more than 2, but not many, not more than 5 that have said, oh, it's in a different room. Because like 99% of the people that I've talked to anyways use their cell phone for their alarm clock at night, which okay. First of all, Amazon sells alarm clocks, like really cheap, old school alarm clocks. But even if you're not willing to do that, you can put your phone not right beside your head.

Kate McDowell [00:20:39]:
Like, think about that. You're trying to sleep. Your body is trying to get rest. That's really important for your immune system, for your hormones, for your nervous system, for so many different things. And you're getting pinged with radiation, like, every minute while you're sleeping. So I put my phone in the kitchen downstairs, but I don't use it as an alarm clock. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, can you put it in your bathroom? Can you put it at least, like, the other side of your bedroom so it's not right beside your white, head when you're trying to sleep? And then in terms of other Wi Fi devices, please, please, please, please, please, I don't see this as much as I used to, although I don't go to the gym anymore, but I used to see women tucking their cell phone in their bra. And I get it, because how else do you hold it when you're lifting weights or whatever? But, like, your breast tissue is very metabolically active, and you're radiating your boobs if you're sticking it in your bra.

Kate McDowell [00:21:39]:
So just try and keep your device away from you as much as possible. And if you're someone who does wear an Apple Watch, which I know are super popular, can you not wear it to bed or try and limit the amount of connections that you have? And then the last one that I'm gonna say about wireless or about Wi Fi essentially and Bluetooth is, AirPods. Apple's gonna hate me for this, but I use corded headphones for everything. And I thought it was really interesting actually because I put a poll on our stories on Instagram a couple of days ago and asked who uses wired headphones or wireless headphones. And it was actually 75% of the people said wired, which I was so excited to see because we we saw a kid, where was it? Dollar and doesn't matter. Mhmm. Yeah. A couple months ago with his mom and had a set of the wireless, like Beats by Dre kind of headset in the cart.

Kate McDowell [00:22:41]:
And his mom was like, you already have that. Why are why do you need another one? And he said, because I get a headache when I wear the other ones for 30 minutes. That doesn't mean you need a new headset. It means you need to stop wearing them. And it's like, I don't know who well, I'm an eighties baby. And I remember my mom when I was a kid was always like, don't stand in front of the microwave. You're radiating yourself. And I was like, eyes rolled.

Kate McDowell [00:23:05]:
Okay, mom. But now looking back, it's like, she's right. And if you're wearing, AirPods, I think they're called, in your ears all of the time, you're you're basically microwaving your head every time that you're wearing those. And so corded headphones is gonna be I'm this is sounds horrible. I'm sorry. But and I know people love them, but do the best you can to avoid especially having it close to your body because these create a stress on your body, and it's gonna prevent your cells from being able to heal. It's gonna prevent you from being able to move towards better health and getting to where you really want to go.

Amanda Golightly [00:23:45]:
And the webinar that we have coming up, we're going to go even deeper into this and find other hitting factors that could be standing away your health. So sign up for the webinar and be there. It's very important because we have information we wanna share that can will change your health.

Kate McDowell [00:24:04]:
Absolutely. And we will have the link in the show notes, for you to sign up for that as well. And I wanna talk a little bit before we wrap out up boy. Before we wrap up about some common myths around autoimmune conditions. One of the biggest myths is that your body is attacking itself by mistake. But here's the truth, your body is responding to something. It's not making a mistake. It's trying to protect you from unknown triggers, like the Glade plugins, which are toxins or things like parasites or heavy metals or mold is a really big one that we see having an impact on people with autoimmune or even stress.

Amanda Golightly [00:24:50]:
And another myth that we have is autoimmune conditions are all genetic, but if that were true, wouldn't we see a huge increase in autoimmune conditions over the last decade? The reality is our environment and lifestyle are playing a huge, huge role other than our genes. Those are the like, over the span of genes changing, how long does it take for things to actually change versus what have what has changed in our environment in the last 50 plus years? There are many, as Kate's already touched on, many exposures within our home, the perfumes, toxins, stress, all these things just add up. And these are the things that are really impacting our system more than more than we know.

Kate McDowell [00:25:39]:
Yeah. I mean, autoimmune has exploded well, especially in the last 5 to 10 years, but it's it exploded after the nineties, really. And if you think back to it in the nineties, what exploded as well? Glyphosate. Roundup is sprayed on everything. And that Absolutely is. It, like, expanded and and became, like, more of a thing in the nineties. And then after the nineties, autoimmune soared? Is there a connection there? And then finally, the idea that autoimmune conditions are a disease that you just have to live with. This one irks me because this is what my doctor told me.

Kate McDowell [00:26:18]:
And there was fear, like I took my okay. This is a disclaimer. Don't come off your medication. I'm not telling you to do that. I would never tell you to do that. I'm happy to support you with ideas around the conversation to have with your doctor, but this is my disclaimer. Don't come off your medication. Kate didn't say that.

Kate McDowell [00:26:37]:
I took myself off my medication, and my doctor had put so much fear into me that it took me longer than probably necessary to get to that point, but there is a lot of fear around this. And when it's when you're told it's a disease that you just have to live with and that there's nothing you can do, it it can feel like a trap. You can feel stuck. You can feel like hopeless at times. And what if we shift that perspective? What if we started to think about autoimmune disease as an autoimmune response, a response to a trigger. That means if you can actually change what's happening to your body, you can do that by addressing what are the triggers, figuring out what the triggers are for you. And there's a lot of different things we will talk about in the the webinar as well, but common ones that people think of are things like food. But then we've also talked about chemicals, toxins, heavy metals, mold, parasites, radiation, there's all kinds of different things.

Kate McDowell [00:27:38]:
And when you can figure out what your body is having a stress response to, that can make a really big difference. And it gives you your power back because it means that there's something that you can do about it. Not your doctor, you, which is amazing.

Amanda Golightly [00:27:55]:
Absolutely. And there's many different words that you could put on this particular label, and this is why it's possible to get better. You could say remission. You could say, we can't say cure, but other people could say cure. And my opinion is that it's possible. But what is right for you, you can decide. And whatever that is, it's about dealing with the underlying triggers, the causes that's going on. As Kate kind of said, it's a stimulus response.

Amanda Golightly [00:28:26]:
Something's in our environment, something's in our body, and our body is responding to that item. So whether it's environmental, like it's a toxin, who knows what, emotional stress, helping get your body back into balance. This is what we need to focus on. This is what we need to look at, and this is where you wanna go to this webinar because you're gonna find out more about how we do that.

Kate McDowell [00:28:50]:
Absolutely. I don't like the word cure, but that's a whole different episode. Speaking of stress, here's another thing that often gets overlooked as well. Your immune system follows your emotions. I've never met a client with autoimmune issues who didn't have some level of emotional trauma or chronic stress in their life. And if I look back on my life, I can kind of map the things I went through in terms of life events that led up to 3 years, 5 years, 10 years before my diagnosis, and it makes sense. And a lot of, yes, I've done nutrition related stuff and, other detox related stuff to help myself with this journey with getting rid of the MS and the MS symptoms. But there was emotional stuff that had to be done as well because we've worked with other practitioners or had other practitioners on the podcast that have said, like, your issues are in in your tissues.

Kate McDowell [00:29:53]:
Mhmm. And you have to heal it to feel it and so many different ways of describing it. But basically, if there's emotional shit that you haven't dealt with, the body's gonna express that and it's gonna show up in different ways.

Mhmm. Exactly. And that's the stress component where it it is such a big role in how it impacts your immune system and how it functions. And when you're constantly stressed, you're constantly having that imaginary bear chasing you every day. Like that's, that's putting stress on your body, and stress on your hormones and your immune system as I've already said. And, and if you're living in that state, for a long time, or any amount of time that you're not supposed to, it's gonna worsen your symptoms. It's gonna make things way, way worse. So this is something that needs to be looked at as well when you're attempting to attempting when you are getting better and working on that.

Kate McDowell [00:30:53]:
The good there's good news here, though. It's not all doom and gloom, and that's that's not what we're intending this episode to be. We're giving you some tools that you can use. So hopefully the Glade plugins are going. Hopefully, you're going to move your cell phone away from your head when you're sleeping at night, and both of which will make a big difference for you. But there are tools that can help with the stress stuff as well. And we'll be sharing some powerful techniques in the webinar to help you address these emotional triggers and support your body's healing process as well.

Amanda Golightly [00:31:24]:
So let's wrap things up. We've talked about, hidden factors that could be stopping your body from healing, whether that's environmental toxins like radiation, emotional stress. And if you're resonating with any of this, we'd love for you to join. Join our webinar, this upcoming webinar. It's got lots to share, lots of little tips and things that we really wanna share with you. So join the webinar, if if I haven't said that enough.

Kate McDowell [00:31:49]:
Yeah. We're gonna dive much deeper into the root cause of autoimmune conditions, and we'll give you actionable steps to start seeing lasting results or real results as well. And we're gonna cover what you can stop doing to help your body heal without relying on medication or endless trial and error. I went through the endless trial and error loop. I started to work on things naturally after hear hearing a video from doctor Terry Wahls in 2011, which was great. She was like, oh, I'm using diet to make an impact on my condition. She has MS as well. And so I was like, okay, I can do that.

Kate McDowell [00:32:28]:
It's 2011. There wasn't TikTok. There wasn't all kinds of online resources. So it was, like, 8 years of trial and error. And thankfully, we're at the point now where that isn't necessary. You can find out what's causing your problems, and then you know where to start to start seeing results a lot faster with a lot less heartache of the trial and error period.

Amanda Golightly [00:32:50]:
Touching on the webinar, Olivia, again, Our goal is definitely to empower you and give you tools that you can easily add in to what you're doing now to take control of your health.

We're in on a mission to try and help as many people as possible because we've both been through health challenges and know how frustrating it can be to go to your doctor and hear your blood work is normal, your tests are normal, There's nothing wrong with you to feel like your doctor doesn't believe you or to try things and have them work maybe for a little bit and then symptoms come back. Getting to the root cause makes a really big difference. And this webinar is gonna be hopefully enlightening and empowering for you as well.
