Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the

paleo-autoimmune protocol and functional medicine. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease,

the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from

PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%,

which took me from a life of excruciating pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life.

A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor nor a nutritionist, and the opinions expressed here are personal.

Always consult with your health care team before making

medical decisions. Now let's get on to the show. Welcome to episode 165, Healing Stories 8.

If you're a regular listener of my podcast, you know that I often start my shows with personal stories, where my guests share their health journeys from rock bottom to reclaiming a vital life.

But once a year, I dedicate an episode to back-to-back healing stories, and I make an effort

to speak to people with different autoimmune diagnoses each time. So today, I have four guests

who will be sharing their experience of reclaiming a vital life with autoimmune disease.

Everyone's story is unique, but we also have so much in common.

Whatever your diagnosis, I hope these stories resonate and inspire today.

Before I introduce my first guest, though, let's give a shout out to our podcast sponsor, Paleo on the Go.

They are a frozen meal delivery service,

and 100% of their menu is compliant with the elimination phase of the paleo autoimmune protocol.

They have over 60 items on their menu, including entrees, side dishes, broth, AIP-friendly

bacon, and desserts. And today I want to tell you about the Phoenix Helix variety pack.

So it's something I have collaborated with with Paleo on the Go where basically I have the

fun job of going through their menu twice a year, picking five meals that I personally love that

celebrate the season, and putting them together in a discounted pack for you.
