Summary

There are health benefits to play and health benefits to exercise, and there's a special power in the combination. Children know this naturally, but adults rarely combine the two. How can we incorporate more playful movement into our lives? With autoimmune disease, a playful spirit can be hard to find sometimes, and when we're in pain, movement may feel impossible. Yet play and movement are still available even in those moments, and may potentially reduce our pain and autoimmune symptoms. My guest is Darryl Edwards, founder of the Primal Play method.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the
0:06.0	paleo-autoimmune protocol and functional medicine. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease,
0:11.8	the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from
0:17.9	PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of
0:25.4	excruciating pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a

1:17.1	You might ask why.
1:25.1	The truth is, it's extremely beneficial, not just for children, but for adults too, and not just for the mind, but to the body as well.
1:29.7	My guest is Daryl Edwards, founder of the primal play method. He's an expert on play in general, but also the intersection of play and movement.
1:34.8	Thinking about children again, they naturally move their bodies in countless ways throughout
1:39.1	the days and they do it in a way that's fun.
1:41.9	And as adults, we spend most of our time sedentary and both our
1:45.4	bodies and our brains suffer. Yet, we all know that life with autoimmune disease can be really
1:51.6	hard sometimes, and it often comes with a lot of pain. So some of you listening may feel that
1:56.9	play and movement are beyond you right now. Darrell is here to show us otherwise. He excels
