Chelsie Ward RN: The Surprising Connection Between Gut Health and Autoimmunity

Inspired Living with Autoimmunity

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Chelsie Ward, a registered nurse and FDN practitioner, who shared her journey of healing her gut and improving her overall health naturally.

Here are some of this episode's highlights:

• Chelsie emphasized the importance of using food as medicine and the benefits of a whole foods diet consisting of meat, fruits, and vegetables.
• We also discussed the harmful effects of processed foods, especially those that are gluten-free but still inflammatory due to cross-contamination and the use of wheat and pesticides.
• We explored the benefits of using herbs such as garlic, oregano, basil, and thyme in cooking and as essential oils to alleviate immediate symptoms like brain fog and digestive upset.
• Chelsie stressed the importance of using organic herbs and spices and growing your own herbs in a pot.
• We also discussed the relationship between low stomach acid and heartburn, indigestion, and reflux disease, and provided tips on how to support and improve it naturally.
• Chelsie emphasized the importance of practicing gratitude throughout the day, expressing gratitude for simple things like the sun, nature, and animals, and taking a moment to appreciate healthy food before meals.
