“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
~ Margaret Mead
Vision
I started the Phoenix Helix podcast to expand the message of autoimmune healing to a wider audience. Every other week, I interview experts in the field of health and nutrition, as well as individuals living with autoimmune disease themselves. Together, we are reclaiming our lives, and inspiring others to do the same. I’m also excited to share that we passed a huge milestone in 2018: 1 million downloads! (And in 2021, we reached 2 million!) We also won 1st place for best podcast in the Paleo Magazine Awards.
