From Flare-Ups to Freedom
Mon Jun 09 2025
In this episode of Aquarian Insights, I sit down again with my wife Megan, this time to discuss her tumultuous journey through the complexities of autoimmune disease.
Megan shares her very raw and very real experiences. It gets very personal and I am thankful she is in a healed place now where she can discuss this publicly. We talk about her journey from initial misdiagnoses and ineffective conventional treatments to finding relief and healing through holistic approaches.
We get into the underlying causes of autoimmunity, the pitfalls of a solely allopathic approach, and the importance of a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan. We emphasize the need for understanding root causes, including emotional trauma, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits, to achieve true healing and live a fulfilling life beyond diagnostic labels.
