Meet Eileen
Hi and welcome to my website! I’m an author, podcast host, and autoimmune warrior, living a vital and resilient life with rheumatoid arthritis. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I believe in a holistic approach:
- Nutrition – using food as medicine.
- Lifestyle – health is about more than just food.
- Mindset – harnessing the mind-body connection.
- Medication – when beneficial.
- We don’t need to be victims to our diagnosis.
My goal with this website is to offer information and inspiration for autoimmune health. May we encourage each other.
MY HEALTH VALUES
- I believe our bodies are amazing and deserve our love, not our anger.
- I believe the choices we make every day have a huge impact on how we feel. Nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset are powerful interventions for autoimmune health.
- That said, if medication is needed to put you in remission, it’s a wonderful thing to live in a world where medicine is available. Never feel like a failure if you choose an integrative approach.
- I believe self-compassion and compassion for others go hand-in-hand, and they are both skills worth nurturing.
- I believe everyone on this planet is deserving of dignity, love, joy, health, safety, and equal rights. That includes people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, religions, and nationalities.
- I believe community health, public health, and personal health are intertwined, and my mission is to help us all live our healthiest lives. May we all rise together.
