Friday Jan 06, 2023
Friday Jan 06, 2023
How does inflammation contribute to Osteoarthritis (OA is not just "wear and tear')?
How does living an anti-inflammatory lifestyle help you live your best life with Osteoarthritis.
How do you maintain a positive mindset with OA?
All these questions and more are answered in the first episode of 2023. Welcome to Season 3!! This episode is the 114th episode of the show and the first of the new year which is why it is so important to cover how to live with this condition.
Valerie Bachinsky is this episode's guest and she talks about how an anti-inflammatory diet can reduce OA symptoms, factors other than diet that affect inflammation, and putting your health first.
Valerie Bachinsky is an Arthritis Wellness Specialist who serves women seeking to reduce joint pain and inflammation so they can live their best life. She holds a Master’s Degree in Nursing and a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Education. She is a Certified Health Coach and has practiced as a Registered Nurse for over 25 years.Faced with her own diagnosis of arthritis at the age of 27, Valerie has spent many years researching ways to lessen arthritis symptoms and slow its progression. A recent escalation of her own symptoms brought on by the additional occupational stress that accompanied the pandemic taught her to explore the ways in which psychosocial factors and past trauma contribute to arthritis symptoms and the ability to make healthy choices. Through it all, she has been able to maintain her active lifestyle and pursue the activities she is passionate about, mainly rock climbing and hiking. Valerie now shares her accumulated knowledge and expertise coaching other women with arthritis to develop the habits needed to live their best life. She passionately believes that no woman should have to throw away her dreams because of joint pain or a diagnosis of arthritis.

Have you ever had to give up everything you worked towards?

S2, EP 7: Having An Emergency Response Plan with Shannon MacFarlane
Monday May 02, 2022
Monday May 02, 2022
Do you have an emergency plan in place for you and your family?
Most people probably don't even think about it. In this episode, we are joined by Shannon MacFarlane, who discusses how to prepare for the hard days (with a flare response plan) so the business side of things isn’t an additional stressor during a flare. She believes recycling content is fabulous because not everyone sees everything every time, and it takes the pressure off. Shannon informs her customers that she has off days that are unpredictable, and she educates them early that she may not respond as quickly as they expect.
