Welcome! This website was created as a chronic illness survival guide during our years of chronic illness and is always being updated and added to. Though our chronic illness is still ongoing we see improvements bit by bit year by year. We would like to share with you all the mistakes we made and the lessons we have learned so you can better help yourself during tough times and take control of your health - a lot of what we have been through is relatable. And in order to heal the body & mind and achieve health, it's vital to be as well informed as possible.
The human body is vastly complex and it can take time to learn how to achieve and maintain a state of wellness and health through self-care and positive behaviours. We've tried to keep things simple - which is super hard when the body is mind-blowingly complex! - and make the more technical info as digestible as possible. We've tried to include all the info you might need on your healing journey, focussing 2 of the most important and overlooked areas; gut health and mental health.
We found that most of what we learned and share here applies to anyone wanting to achieve optimal health and wellness, whether you have a chronic illness or not. We share our own personal stories of our chronic illnesses: ME, gut dysfunction / SIBO and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis on the Our Stories pg. We aim to help you to make informed decisions in your everyday life which will enable you to better manage and/or decrease your symptoms - and to start or help you on your road to recovery.
Don't forget that your body is completely biologically unique in all the world and your journey towards health will be as unique as you are. This is why we encourage you to be curious and develop self awareness throughout the healing process, and to make sure that the decisions you make are right for you. We recommend working with a health practitioner as they are professionals and can guide you in the right direction and refer you for tests which are an invaluable tool.
Wishing you full health & happiness,
