Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to reversing autoimmune disease through the paleo,

diet, and lifestyle. 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 phoenixhulix.com,

and I've reduced my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms by 95% without any steroid or immunosuppressant medication.

Now let's get on to the show.

Music Now let's get on to the show. Welcome to episode 25.

Our topic is Paleo Travel.

I've been on a healing diet for three years now myself and I've taken a lot of trips.

And my guests today are also paleo travel experts.

In fact, this was one of the hardest interviews I've ever tried to schedule because we all had vacation plans this summer, and it was hard

to find a time when we'd all be available to talk. So I'm excited to be recording this podcast

today, and we'll each be sharing our best advice for all kinds of travel, from road trips to airplane

travel, business trips, international travel, camping, and more.

So Sirpa Ayakari is the blogger behind Kiku Lifestyle and Rootlicious.

She has healed digestive issues, blood sugar imbalances, and food sensitivities through the paleo diet and lifestyle.

Emma King is the blogger behind the Bacon Mum. She is reversing rheumatoid arthritis

through the paleo-autoimmune protocol. Welcome, Sirpa, and Emma. Thank you. Thanks,

Molly. So, Sirpa, let's start with your healing story. What was your life like when your health

was at its worst
