National Celiac Disease Awareness Day Deanna's Story with Her Family

National Celiac Disease Awareness Day Deanna's Story with Her Family

Celiac disease runs all over in Deanna's family, starting with her father-in-law, then to her brother-in-law, her daughter and son. Her daughter was six years old when she was diagnosed, she looked very unhealthy and had major gut problems but now she is very healthy - 10 years later, thriving as a 16-year-old! Strangely enough, her daughter decided to do a science project on Celiac disease and found out that her brother also had celiac! 

Deanna's Journey with her family has certainly had its ups and downs, and they now have a great system in place to make sure that no one is harmed by their disease. She is excited that there are so many more options out there to consume for her kids, and her family for as well as so many different resources available. 

She is a part of different blogs to learn more about the disease and the different products available for her family. If you have any comments or questions or want to get in touch with Deanna feel free to send her an email at DThorogood22@gmail.com. And check out these awesome links www.celiac.ca

Mental Wellness Living with Lyme, Julie's Story.

Mental Wellness Living with Lyme, Julie's Story.

This is Julie, she has lived with Lyme disease, she was diagnosed in 2016 after 6 years of misdiagnosis. After her trip to Asia, she quickly became sick, dealing with so many different physical symptoms, as well as major mental health struggles as well. She lived with depression and anxiety for years, and it wasn't until she worked with a naturopath that helped her get her diagnosis with lyme, who then helped her get in touch with a Lyme literate doctor. Indicating that she had Lyme and malaria, parasites and Epstein bar. So she started a 10 month protocol, a very expensive out of pocket protocol at that! This protocol was constantly changing her physical health and mental wellbeing. The Herxing effect was immense that caused so many severe psychological effects, she mentions that the words depression and anxiety don't even describe the effects that she was living with, feeling bouts of manic and psychosis - a complete roller coaster. She lives day to day, good days and bad days but continues to stay strong for herself and advocating for others.

My story with my brother, Alex. Suicide Prevention Week Sep 5 to 11

My story with my brother, Alex. Suicide Prevention Week Sep 5 to 11

ATTENTION: Some explicit content, at 14mins with his story and how he passed away. 


I don't normally talk about his story, for whatever reason, but mental health, especially in the chronic community is so important! My brother passed away of suicide back in 2008, he was 19. I'm so grateful that I was able to spend 18 years of my own life with him, growing up with a brother even though today it is quite sad. I do go over what it's like experiencing suicide, living with him and without him, so many emotions and feelings that I have gone through after experiencing suicide. I also do talk about very specifically how he passed away so if you are having a great day, maybe listen to this podcast on another day.

I appreciate everyone's support and thank you so much for listening to my story and following this podcast.

Life without a Colon, Becky's Flare Up.

Life without a Colon, Becky's Flare Up.

This year has been a crazy year and here we all thought that 2020 was bad! Starting this January I started feeling a bit of a flare coming on, and I was doing everything I could to help stop it, eating healthy, doing more meditation, exercise etc. But the stress of this year just became too much and the fear of the flare getting worse took over, and the flare got worse. I ended up in the hospital on the 25th of March for three weeks, in the middle of the flare up I ended up switching GI doctors, which I am so grateful for my new GI specialist, shout out to Dr. Chalmers-Nixon out of Fernie BC, you saved my life. While I was in hospital in Calgary, the GI team started me on Xalgenz, but after 5 days we found out it was not working and that prednisone was giving me this fake feeling of getting better, so on Good Friday, Easter weekend, I met with the surgical team and discussed having a full colectomy, to take out my entire colon. I have never had major surgery like this before, so it was very much a shock to me. I ended up having the surgery on April 5th and recovered in hospital that week, and was able to come home April 11th. I have been getting better and better each day, good days and bad days still, but I feel like I am getting my strength back and I am feeling back to my normal self again. Listen to my story and how everything happened so fast. *Yikes!* -Becky

Healing Stage IV with Modern & Holistic Treatments, with Ethan

Healing Stage IV with Modern & Holistic Treatments, with Ethan

Ethan is an inspirational soul, living each day present with love and gratitude, while living with the ups and downs of Stage IV brain cancer, Glioblastoma.

Before his encounter with cancer, Ethan was traveling the world, teaching Yoga, offering intuitive coaching, studying Dance, Writing Music, Practicing Massage & more. He's now had 4 head surgeries. The first surgery was a brain surgery in October, 2019. This was followed by 7 weeks of intensive radiation and low dose chemo. Although Ethan felt strongly to treat his condition as holistically as possible - it was very important to receive these immediate therapies to halt this life threatening condition.

Ethan's vision is to inspire others with severe conditions like his - by sharing his story, Fully healing from Glioblastoma, cultivating radiant health on all levels, manifesting his inner gifts (writing, yoga, art, dance, music, healing & coaching work), and help others evolve into the highest version of themselves.
