I just got back from two weeks in Italy and came home with something stuck in my chest. Two, three, four hours for a meal. A driver who wouldn't eat behind the wheel. A restaurant owner in Positano who put his arm around my husband and told him to sit back down. So this one is about health, but not the way you think. I take you back to 2022, the tingling inside my knee that spread through my whole body in under a minute, and the morning I didn't make it to the end of my block. Five years, no diagnosis. MS, autoimmune, wheelchair in ten years. Two of those years bedridden. I get into the divine square of life, why chronic stress does more damage than the french fries, and the two specific things that got me walking again and then deadlifting 100 pounds within about fifty days. In 2022, 2023, 2024, I couldn't talk for ten minutes on camera without going dizzy or blacking out. I sat here today and did this whole thing in one hour. None of it was food or doctors. It was what I believed about myself, practiced every single day until my body caught up.   🔔 Subscribe for more elevated conversations:  https://www.youtube.com/@ChaiTeawithNinaD  💻 Watch on YouTube  📱 Watch on Spotify  🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts
