For episode 4, we are back with Julie, a fan favorite here on the State of Healthcare Podcast! As a retired nurse and active yoga instructor, Julie has been living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for the last 15 years, and was more recently diagnosed with hyper-mobility as well. She has a lot of experience navigating the world of autoimmune disorders and figuring out what choices are best for her, and how she wants to live her life.
In an episode filled with insight and wisdom, Julie speaks about the key elements she focuses on when managing her RA which includes movement, hydration, and nutrition. We also discuss the seasons of each year that she must traverse with these autoimmune challenges, working with her flare-ups, adjusting her lifestyle to each situation she finds herself in, and the choice to go medicine free, including not utilizing hormone replacement therapy.
This episode is for you if you want to hear more about prioritizing your quality of life, setting expectations for your body (and listening to what your body needs from you), what constitutes active rest, and how movement is life. The best thing you can do is wake up each day and ask yourself, what can I do today to be strong, healthy, and well.
