Turning pain into power with Hayley Ray

Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND, the podcast series that’s all about empowering you to take control of your own health. I'm Grace Kingswell and I'm a Nutritional Therapist with a huge focus on lifestyle medicine and healing from chronic conditions.  This week’s guest is my dear friend Hayley Ray. Hayley is a women’s health, nutrition and wellbeing coach who helps women turn pain into power…The reason for this is that since age 11 Hayley has dealt with the most crippling period pain but for 10 years her doctors refused to believe her and left her to deal with this crippling condition, later discovered to be endometriosis, completely on her own. She tells the story of how, 10 years down the line, she finally went in for some keyhole surgery to diagnose the endometriosis and the doctors found an undetected cyst on her left ovary. Hayley took the situation into her own hands and has worked hard on lifestyle changes that have enabled her to manage her Endometriosis and PCOS. She now coaches women 1-2-1, speaks publicly at events and generally just shares the wealth of knowledge she’s built up in how to deal with a chronic condition and turn it into a positive situation. I had such a lovely chat with Hayley, and I hope you enjoy it to. So, on with the episode!   @iamhayleyray @gracekingswell gracekingswell.com
