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

Welcome to Episode 59.

The topic today is self-inquiry, and my guest is Byron Katie, a world-renowned educator of a simple technique called The Work.

Autoimmune disease and suffering often go hand-in-hand, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

And what we don't realize is how much of our suffering comes from our minds, the stories we tell ourselves about our experience. Katie,

And as she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry,

she calls the work, people find that their stressful beliefs about life, other people, and themselves

around the world and is the author of six books, including the bestselling, Loving What Is,

Four Questions That Can Change Your Life. And I'm excited to have her on my podcast today. Welcome, Katie.
