Manage episode 512387151 series 3686477
EP 27. There are some things diet and lifestyle alone can’t fix, and in this episode of Well Done, I chat with naturopath and trauma healing practitioner Camilla Clare to discuss the link between physical symptoms and emotional pain. Camilla shares her incredible journey of experiencing severe anxiety and debilitating arthritis in her teens, and what eventually led to her healing. We discuss what it means to not only be vegan, but raw vegan!—and dive into the topic of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), a lesser known condition that can cause emotional chaos and PTSD-type symptoms. If you experience extreme mood swings monthly, listen up! This episode explores how true wellness isn’t just about diet and lifestyle, but includes positive relationships and even finding your purpose.
