From Victim to Empowered: Create Your Life, Even with Autoimmune Disease

Have you tried shifting your diet, rebalancing your microbiome, detoxing, and everything else under the sun but nothing seems to work? Take a look at your nervous system. Are you living in a fearful, anxious, victim state most of the day? In 2017, we dove into some of the nuts and bolts of the connection between cortisol (the stress hormone) and our body’s ability to ...
