Eps 16. Divya Dhawan - Navigating through Sjogrens Syndrome Holistically

In our latest podcast episode, we had the pleasure ofintroducing Divya Dhawan, a true inspiration in the world of holistic and functional healing. When life handed her Sjogren’s syndrome, a condition doctors said could only be managed but not cured, Divya decided to carve her own path to healing.🌿 She embarked on a holistic journey that ultimately led her to remission from Sjogren’s, a state she's maintained for nearly a decade. Now, she's a nationally certified Functional and Holistic Health coach, a devoted mother, pet mom, and wife.🌼 Divya's inspiration stems from her mom and grandmom, who instilled in her the power of holistic remedies. With a deep passion for helping others bounce back from autoimmune disorders, she's on a mission to spread the message of healing with autoimmunity, as a Sjogren’s and Autoimmunity coach.Show Notes 1:57 - primary area of focus Sjogren’s Syndrome and it’s effects on wet glands and other symptoms 3:16 - Divya’s personal journey with leading diagnosis of Sjogren’s disorder a decade ago and her mother battlewith Rheumatoid Arthritis 7:37 - changes the trajectory of life 8:50 - beneficial practices that showed symptom improvement including yoga12:00 - venturing into anti-inflammatory supplementation and dietary changes including refined sugar and 14:45 - hormone disruption in our bodies from products we use 15:40 - diagnosis or not, clients who show symptoms like dry eyes, mouth, nose along with CFS17:24 - implementing things simply at home 19:40 - removing other toxins from the home21:40 – most people have difficulty cutting the ready-made coffees23:15 – The importance of advocating for yourself  Contact: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divyadhawan_nutrition/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063721713896LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/divya-dhawan-b645791b6/ WEBSITE: www.sjogrensolution.com Follow us on IG ⁠⁠⁠@functionallyenlightened⁠⁠⁠ to benotified when new interviews with amazing functional practitioners and chronic illness warriors are published or to hear more prayer points.
