During this stressful time in the US, I wanted to bring you some really uplifting news to give you a much needed break. In this episode, I break down four pivotal news events that give me real hope for the health of America. Here’s what I discuss:1. Senate Round Table (September 23rd): Major health and wellness advocates and physicians meet with government officials to discuss how to tackle the chronic illness epidemic in the US.

When you received your diagnosis, you were flooded with a mix of emotions- relief, anxiety, fear, maybe even hopefulness. At that moment, you reached a fork in the road. You could let this diagnosis define you, let it become a part of your identity, let it control your life or you could take this as a new challenge, one that would not letget the better of you. What makes someone choose one path versus the other? This is the question I have been trying to answer for the last 7 years and was one of the reasons I started the Diagnosis Redefined Podcast. This episode contains some major clues that will help answer that very question. In this episode, I interview Dr. Morgan April Morley. Dr. Morley is a professor of Communication Studies who researches how our identity affects and reflects our health and well-being. Most recently, her research has been focused on the multiple ways individuals’ identities change after chronic illness diagnosis and how those changes impact psychological well-being and treatment adherence. Her research has been presented at national conferences and published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals. In addition to her research, she also teaches classes in health communication, research methods, and interpersonal communication at California State University, Sacramento. Dr. April Morley's career in academia is directly connected to her Lupus diagnosis and her desire to give voice to those living with chronic conditions.In this episode we discuss:the role of identityhow we develop our identityhow that identity is affected when receiving a diagnosisthe power of labels on our identitywhat we can do to shift our identity if we desireIf you have recently received a diagnosis and feel like you are spiraling because of the fear of having to let go of your identity, this episode is for you!To connect with Dr. Morley:https://drmorganaprilmorley.comFor a FREE consultation with Chronically Healthy: https://www.chronicallyhealthyllc.xyz/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! For a FREE Consultation go to: https://chronicallyhealthyllc.xyz/

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! For a FREE Consultation go to: https://chronicallyhealthyllc.xyz/

 Stacy Luckey talks about how she turned her weight loss journey into a healing journey. Stacy Luckey is a Certified Life and Functional Weight Loss Coach who loves helping women heal from the inside out! She went on her first diet at the age of 14 and spent decades hopping from one fad diet to the next. At the age of 28, Stacy was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. Overweight, depressed, and riddled with anxiety, she thought her diagnoses would finally make her skinny with a few pills from the doc! Fast forward through another decade of starvation diets and no resolution to her autoimmune symptoms, Stacy discovered life coaching. It was through mindset work where she learned that healing first would result in a healthy body, a healthy mind, and a healthy weight. Thriving as an anxious ADHDer and autoimmune warrior, Stacy helps other women find weight loss through healing the mind and body first! In this episode, you will learn how to ditch the diet mindset, what it means to focus on healing first, and how focusing on and treating weight gain on its own can keep you sick and stuck in a yo-yo dieting cycle.To connect with Stacy Luckey, check out her podcast Help!
