Ep. 20: Navigating the Conventional Healthcare System for Healing with Dr. Kara Wada

from Diagnosis Redefined · host Erica Anderson

So many of us want to be able to implement holistic, functional approaches to our disease, but the access to a functional medicine practitioner is just not there. There may not be any functional medicine practitioners in your area or they may be really expensive. Unfortunately, most of us are dependent on the current insurance model of health care, the conventional medical system. So how do we navigate this system and still find the healing we are looking for in a way that gives us the agency over our bodies that we deserve?That’s what we are talking about today with Dr. Kara Wada. Dr. Wada is a Quadruple board-certified pediatric and adult allergy immunology & lifestyle medicine physician, Sjogren’s patient and life coach, who shares her recipe for success combining anti-inflammatory lifestyle, trusting therapeutic relationships, modern medicine & our minds to harness our body’s ability to heal.In this episode, we discuss her healing journey and how her perspective has changed since becoming an autoimmune patient herself. And She gives great practical tips for autoimmune warriors to be able to better communicate with their doctors and make sure they are getting the care they deserve in a system that doesn’t allow most doctors to take more than 8 minutes per office visit.To connect with Dr. Wada:Website: http://www.drkarawada.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crunchyallergist/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrunchyAllergistTwitter: https://twitter.com/CrunchyAllergyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crunchyallergistTo learn more about Chronically Healthy:Website: https://www.chronicallyhealthyllc.xyz/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chronically_healthyllc/Follow us on Instagram and Facebook!https://www.instagram.com/chronically_healthyllc/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093317265924Overcome chronic illness and take back control of your health!

Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Personal Stories of Polyamory, Swinging, and Beyond Emma and Fin Hi! We’re Emma and Fin! We’re a married couple in our thirties who have been exploring non-monogamy for over 15 years. Every week we interview people from across the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and relationship styles to hear their amazing stories. Many of our guests identify as swingers or polyamorous. However, quite a few have redefined non-monogamy in their own way by creating a unique dynamic that works for them. We hope that by giving a voice to the diverse community exploring non-monogamy that we can show people they are not alone and inspire them to embrace their true selves so that, together, we can open minds and live authentically without shame.We hope you enjoy the show and who knows, maybe someday you’ll even be up for sharing your own story.
