Summary

In support of my own autoimmune health, I’m taking a sabbatical for the month of December and releasing two of my favorite episodes from the archives that you might have missed. Today’s episode is one of the most popular of all time. The right exercise has the potential to improve our health, but the wrong exercise can cause an autoimmune flare. Our needs will often change from month to month, maybe even from day to day. In this podcast, I share my own experience of how my exercise needs have changed since being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I also interview 3 other people about their exercise experiences as well. One guest has multiple sclerosis, one has Crohn’s disease, and the other has Hashimoto’s.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo
0:05.8	diet and lifestyle. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day
0:11.4	can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my
0:18.8	rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of excruciating
0:24.7	pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor
0:30.8	nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with your
0:35.4	health care team before making medical decisions. Now let's get on to the show.
1:06.2	Welcome to episode 138. In support of my own autoimmune health, I am taking a sabbatical for the month of December and releasing favorite episodes from the archives that you might have missed.
1:13.0	Today's episode is one of the most popular of all time. The topic is exercise and autoimmune disease.
1:18.8	And with autoimmune disease, the right exercise has the potential to improve our health, but the wrong exercise can cause an autoimmune flare. Our needs often change from month to month, maybe even from
1:25.1	day to day, and it can be hard to know what to do. In this episode, I share
1:30.0	my own experience of how my exercise needs changed after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
1:36.3	I also interview three other people about their exercise experiences as well. One guest has
1:42.2	multiple sclerosis, one has Crohn's disease, and the other has Hashimoto's.
1:46.9	My hope with this podcast is that we can all learn from and inspire each other. There is no one-size-fits-all
1:54.1	approach. The wisdom exists in tuning into our bodies and choosing to move in a way that makes us
2:00.0	feel better rather than worse.
2:02.9	Before we dive into these compelling conversations, though, I do want to introduce a new podcast
2:07.9	sponsor that is actually perfect for this episode, which just happens to be synchronicity in
2:13.1	action. It is autoimmune strong. They are the one and only online exercise program designed for people
2:20.5	with autoimmune disease by a personal trainer who has autoimmune disease herself. In fact,
