Solving the Puzzle of POTS, Mast Cell Activation Disorder, and CIRS with Gianna Felice

#098 - Jeff Johnson's symptoms started with just a pinch in his ankle and progressed to severe neurological issues that resulted in him having to use a wheelchair for a year and his quality of life continued to decline rapidly.  While part of his journey included Medical Medium information, we also dig into how he created an environment for healing around himself, which included not only what he ate, but also how he brainstormed his healthiest day and how he shifted his approach to relationships with others as well as himself.  We spend a lot of time in this episode talking about his mindset shift aspect of his journey and I think you’ll find his perspective as inspiring as I did.  So if you’ve been dealing with severe neurological issues or feel like you’re stuck in a down spiral, I hope you’ll listen to this amazing episode.You can find Jeff on social media atFacebook: Jeff JohnsonInstagram: @JeffJohnson170  THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

#097 - Akhil Neerugatti started having health issues early on in life, not helped by triggers such as mercury exposure.  Overtime he experienced a variety of symptoms including eye sight problems, constipation, adrenal issues, anxiety, UTis, and eczema.  He also developed OCD and symptoms of Tourette’s.  All with few answers and no long-lasting help from the doctors and other modalities he was working with. Once he found Medical Medium, his health started improving but he had trouble sourcing all of the healing foods he was looking for.  So in this episode, we talk about how he creatively worked around that and the amazing progress that he has made.

#094 - Caroline Kelm coped with sleep issues, felt shaky all the time, was getting easily winded and lightheaded.  Her symptoms were making it harder and harder to live her life, run her company, and take care of her family.  After the birth of her second child, she had to leave her job and ended up on mattress island.  And while she had dabbled in Medical Medium’s work before that, after she received a POTS diagnosis, she fully committed and her health rebounded from there.  Caroline was – and still is – extremely sensitive to supplements, so we talk through how she handled that.  She also had a lot of ups and downs as she was healing, so we dig into that as well and talk about what she did to pull herself through.  You can find Caroline on Instagram at @hopeful_healing_with_carolineTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
