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 PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms 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.

Now let's get on to the show.

Welcome to Episode 51.

As you know, this podcast is dedicated to the paleo-automune community, and none of us lives in a bubble.

When we get a diagnosis, it affects not only us, but the people closest to us.

Today, I'm interviewing spouses. They will share their experience of living

with someone with autoimmune disease, how they try to support the person they love, and how they

also make sure they don't get lost in the equation. My first guest is Jackie Rieger. She is the

wife of Terry Walls, the physician and author of the book, The Walls Protocol.

I'm very grateful that Jackie is sharing her experience with us today.

Welcome, Jackie.

Thank you.

Before we dive into our interviews, I want to give a shout out to our podcast sponsor, Paleo

on the Go.

They are a frozen meal delivery service with a huge autoimmune friendly menu.

And just this past weekend, I had some AIP blogger friends come visit me.
