Ep. 40: This Will Change How You See Chronic Disease Forever
What if your chronic disease symptoms aren't just physical—but the result of a nervous system stuck in survival mode?
For episode 40 of the Sacred Illness™ Podcast, I am sharing an interview I had the honor of recording with @lizziieedunn on her MEN1 Mosaic podcast!
From Lizzie's Notes:
"In this deeply personal and thought-shifting conversation, I speak with Dr Erin Hayford, a naturopathic doctor and somatic practitioner who has lived on both sides of the healing journey.
From being bed bound with Crohn’s disease to exploring what it really means to feel safe in your body, this episode dives into why trauma, people-pleasing, and misalignment with self can all play a role in how chronic illness expresses—and what can actually help.
Key takeaways:
How nervous system dysregulation affects chronic illness
The emotional root of symptoms (even in genetic conditions)
Why food fear and over-restriction might be doing more harm than good
A simple technique to reconnect with your body and calm your system"
Stay tuned for a future episode where I will have Lizzie as a guest and we'll get to learn more about her own journey with chronic illness.
Enjoy!
