Discover potential new ways to tackle your family's mental and physical health when you rediscover hope. Without hope, you stop searching for new possibility. Dawn's story of her daughter's autoimmune disease and the spiral of symptoms from sickness may inspire you to take a new stance in your fight for your teen's health.  Cling to this thought: If it came on, maybe it can be undone? Stop treating the symptoms when maybe we can treat the cause. Then dig in! My thought for you today is "This is figureoutable" but radical change in lifestyle and health mean doing some hard work. Dawn wants everyone to try reversing autoimmune disease, anxiety, depression and irritable bowel at its source. Today's episode shares tips, resources, medical insights and powerful motivation for moms and dads willing to be the advocate for their child. You are your own rescue and you are your child's rescue. The Gut-Mind Axis is a game changer my friends! Since this comes from someone who is not a doctor, this is real and gritty and doable because I am just a mom doing everything I can to make sure my kids are healthy and happy.  Isn't that what we all want? Note: all the resources and advice in this episode are intended to inspire you to think outside the box but must go hand in hand with a medical doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist as fitting as you travel on your own medical journeys. Don't play around with your health and try to treat disease on your own, but become an advocate for your family! This episode is intended to instill hope for a better tomorrow. Don't give up.
