How Luanne Recovered from her Chronic Symptoms by Promoting her Body's Own Natural Ability to Heal
In this episode, I speak to Luanne Hopkinson about her chronic health issues and how she overcame them.
Luanne suffered for decades from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn, eczema, anxiety, food intolerance and hormone issues, manifesting in chronic issues such as anxiety, heartburn, bloating, abdominal cramps, nausea, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and ME/CFS.
After years of suffering, and a crash when she hit her 40s, she began on a path of investigating how she could heal herself, and through meditation, brain retraining and other nervous system tools she was able to promote her own body's natural healing processes and restore her health. She now works as a nutritional medical practitioner, helping others improve their health in the same way, as well as supporting the use of diet and supplementation where necessary.
