Summary

Today we have a very special episode. I’m celebrating the publication of my new book: Healing Mindset. It’s a guide to the mind-body connection for people with autoimmune disease. The mind-body connection isn’t just an idea. There’s an entire field of science called psychoneuroimmunology that studies this connection. How we feel in our body affects how we feel in our minds, and our thoughts and feelings impact our physical health. Today, we’ll be talking about specific mind-body techniques, science-based benefits, and how to harness this connection for autoimmune health. My partner for this episode is Donna Jackson Nakazawa. Many of you know her as one of my most popular podcast guests. She’s an award-winning science journalist, author of 7 books, a fellow autoimmune warrior, and an expert on the mind-body connection. Today, we’re trading places. She will be the host and I will be the guest!

0:42.4	We all have a phoenix within us.
0:44.9	A short disclaimer, I'm neither a doctor nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here
0:49.6	are personal.
0:50.6	I do interview medical professionals on the show, but it's meant to be information, not medical advice.

1:29.4	a Guide to the Mind Body Connection for people with autoimmune disease. So you may ask,
1:34.9	what is a healing mindset? Simply put, it's the practice of harnessing the anti-inflammatory power
1:41.1	of our minds to support autoimmune health. It's realizing that some thoughts
1:45.9	and behaviors ramp up inflammation and others tone it down. And my book is designed to help us all do less
