**How Stress, Divorce, and Anxiety Can Impact Autoimmune Disease | Advice for MS & Chronic Illness**
In this clip from my conversation with Chef AJ, I answer a heartfelt question from a viewer who is navigating multiple sclerosis (MS), a divorce, and overwhelming anxiety while trying to heal through hyper-nourishing nutrition.
One of the most important lessons I've learned, both as a physician and from helping thousands of people recover from chronic illness, is that **healing isn't just about food.** Nutrition is essential, but emotional health matters too.
In this video, I discuss:
🥬 Why grief is a necessary part of healing after major life changes like divorce.
🧠 How chronic stress and anxiety can increase inflammation.
❤️ Why self-care is more than taking a shower or checking something off a list.
😊 How to intentionally reduce cortisol while increasing the brain's "happy chemicals" like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.
👥 Why connection, laughter, novelty, and joy are powerful tools for both emotional and physical healing.
🌿 When I recommend transitioning from Hyper-Nourishment to the full Goodbye Autoimmune Disease Protocol during a flare.
Whether you're living with MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or another chronic illness, I hope this conversation reminds you that your emotional wellbeing deserves just as much attention as your nutrition.
You don't have to go through difficult seasons alone.
