Summary
She credits the Medical Medium diet-based protocol, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping with affirmations for over an hour daily (later training as an EFT practitioner herself), functional medicine diagnosis, mindset and belief work, self-compassion practices, sauna sessions and Epsom salt baths, alongside trauma-release work with a practitioner. She had battled health issues since age 14, was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that lasted 10 years alongside fibromyalgia for 5 years and IBS for 25 years, and eventually stopped working entirely to focus on recovery. She says, "Now, five years on, I am free from CFS and fibromyalgia," crediting a shift toward accepting the possibility of chronic pain and embracing the mind-body connection. The story reports no relapse; she describes recovery as an ongoing personal growth journey and now works as a Holistic Life Coach and Mind Body practitioner helping others with similar conditions. She still treats symptoms as "signals that something in my life is out of balance" as part of her continuing practice.
