Rebekah Rhodes' Journey with Auto-Immune Disease

I’m chatting with Rebekah Rhodes discussing all things health. We both share our thyroid health journeys as well as some of the things we’ve done to help heal, as well as what we’re currently doing to stay in the best health possible.

Rebekah Rhodes is a mom of five children living in North Carolina with her husband Justin. They have a vlog called The Justin Rhodes Show on YouTube as well as a website called Abundant Permaculture. They also created Abundance Plus, a homesteaders streaming app where you can watch family-friendly homesteading shows in the comfort of your own home (use code “MKNFREEMONTH” for one free month of Abundance Plus!).

In this episode of the Pioneering Today Podcast (episode #342), we’re discussing auto-immune issues, specifically that deal with your thyroid. I’m sharing my thyroid experience and Rebekah is sharing hers.

We’re also discussing the role that healthy healing foods play in your healing journey and, if you have to take prescription medication, how that affects the journey and the mindset.

*Note: You may hear the term “EMDR Therapy” in today’s episode. It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing and is a form of therapy where someone recalls a stressful or traumatic experience in their past to find healing.

It’s important to note that I am not (and Rebekah is not) a certified medical practitioner. This post is not intended to diagnose or treat but is for informational purposes only. Please contact your healthcare professional before introducing new herbal and natural remedies into your wellness routine.
