So many people currently are suffering from chronic illness and getting little to no results when it comes to treating it with western medicine. Is there a way to integrate natural health alternatives with western medicine and achieve actual healing results? What is chronic illness and how can we better understand it so we can move toward healing? Join me as I discuss these topics with Lauren Keller, Nurse and Chronic Illness Coach. Connect with Lauren: www.twopurplecarrots.com https://www.facebook.com/twopurplecarrots/ https://www.instagram.com/twopurplecarrots/ Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife turned chronic illness & nutrition coach. I am also a chronic illness warrior myself! I became ill with a mysterious illness at the age of 27, at the time in someone's life which should be a peak of health, satisfaction and joy. I went to doctor's appointments with a dizzying array of symptoms and a devastating loss of lifestyle. I was once an extremely active runner and yogi and overnight became so debilitated that I could barely stand up without fainting, let alone socialize, exercise or do fun things! I was often met with disbelief about the severity of my symptoms and was largely written off as "depressed" or "anxious," both of which I had never been before. I suffered for too long and with very little support within the medical establishment to make me well again. I was often dismissed and sent to "another specialist" as the buck was passed to the next provider. Finally, 2 years later, I was diagnosed with chronic neurological Lyme disease, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), breast implant toxicity (terrible decision when I was 18), immune system impairment, endometriosis, severe food allergies, candida, multiple gut infections, parasites, and chronic pain. My body was overwhelmed and I felt depressed, anxious and hopeless. I found my healing path with a mixture of both allopathic and alternative therapies and I am now here to guide you in your health journey. I wish I had a chronic illness coach when I first became ill. Now, I help you find your healing path while also saving you money at high cost functional medical doctor's offices!
