How I Changed My Story to Change My Autoimmune Reality

My own story held me back from getting better in my own autoimmune challenges.

In this episode, I share my story and a few of our alumni, mindset coaches, and how they were able to change their own story and their autoimmune journey.

Doing this one thing will help you learn how autoimmune disease affects our lives not only physically but emotionally, causing trauma, skepticism and more…

Something very huge devastating

happened to me where the clinic

2

that I owned was actually embezzled,

not by one, but multiple people,

3

and it was a huge betrayal.

4

What that created in me from that bad

experience is I've been really burned.

5

I had no choice.

6

I mean, I was gonna, I was

gonna die, hanging on I I could

7

be right and think everyone is

evil and hang onto that belief.

8

I would rather be right

and dead than to shift.

9

And that was where I got, had to

get to a choice where I'm like,

10

I gotta shift out the skepticism

because it's, it's not getting me

11

anywhere and it's making me sicker.

12

Welcome to Transform with Dr.

13

Maggie Yu Podcast, where

education meets results.

14

I'm Dr.

15

Maggie Yu, your guide with nearly

three decades of experience

16

in root cause medicine.

17

Here, we dive deeper into the root

causes of chronic disease through

18

interviews, case studies, and trainings.

19

Hey everybody.

20

Welcome to today's

Autoimmune Table Talk Live.

21

I'm Meg MD and I'm a functional

and holistic medicine physician

22

and the creator of the Transform

Protocol to transform autoimmune

23

disease around naturally.

24

Today we have a big topic around.

25

Well, how our thoughts

actually influence our results.

26

And for those of you who are joining us

right now, whether you're on YouTube,

27

Facebook group, uh, or a Facebook

page, if you can give us a follow ring

28

the bell subscribe, that'd be great.

29

But right now, most importantly,

give us a thumbs up.

30

Give us a heart.

31

We have three guests that I'm

gonna introduce right away.

32

We are exploring the topic of around

skepticism, fear, and why it seems

33

such an audacious task to even have

hope because we hear it all the time.

34

Welcome, Laura.

35

So for having me, I'd love for you to

introduce yourself to our audience.

36

Absolutely.

37

So my name's Laura Ada and I'm a

spiritual healer, a reiki master

38

and a therapist of 20 years.

39

And I have had chronic illness for

about six or seven years at this point.

40

And, uh, joined Maggie in.

41

And I love and have been devoted

for ages to assisting people with

42

healing at many different layers.

43

And Maggie was exactly who I was waiting

for, like working with the physiology,

44

you know, and in a natural way.

45

And I'm just so grateful.

46

So thank you, Monica.

47

One of our former alumni who's

actually one of the coaches

48

in our program right now.

49

Monica, why don't you introduce yourself.

50

Hi Maggie.

51

Um, hi everyone.

52

I'm Monica Cole.

53

I'm actually a human genome mapper, a

geneticist by profession, and I have

54

had this chronic illness now for well

over 20 plus years and I was very

55

grateful when last year I found Dr.

56

Maggie and I got my answers

that I was looking for.

57

No one turnaround.

58

My health journey the way Maggie

has, and I am grateful for this.

59

I really am.

60

Thank you, Monica.

61

Last but not least, we got Jamie,

also a former alumni who's currently

62

one of the coaches in our program.

63

Jamie?

64

Yeah.

65

Hi everybody.

66

Um, like Laura, I'm a

psychotherapist by trade.

67

Like Dr.

68

Maggie said, I'm an

alumni of this program.

69

Um, I found myself here about

a year and a half ago with just

70

a whole myriad of symptoms.

71

I really enjoyed my time with Dr.

72

Maggie because like everyone

said it, it addressed.

73

The physiological issues,

but also it really upped my

74

mindset game as a therapist.

75

I was kind of shocked and a

little disturbed, I guess, with

76

how little I really understood

about how mindset plays a role in

77

chronic pain and chronic illness.

78

So that's been my major takeaway.

79

I love that.

80

So I, I love the fact that we have three

kick-ass women here who are joining me on

81

this, on this table talk, first of all.

82

Secondly, all three, our current

alumni who've been through our program

83

before, over the past several years.

84

And thirdly, I think who better

than people who've actually been

85

there and done that to be able to

share their experiences about this?

86

Because all of us, including myself,

have sat at the other side of

87

this camera watching other people.

88

Telling us that they got their

autoimmunity together or they have

89

something that works, or we're

watching something where we're like,

90

is what they're really saying true?

91

Are they lying to me?

92

We've all been on the other end of

receiving and hearing people talk about

93

their health journeys with skepticism or

fear, and I myself was one of those people

94

and it's so interesting to me that we talk

to, you know, at least a hundred people

95

every week about their autoimmunity.

96

One of the biggest takeaways we have is

that there's a lot of fear out there.

97

People are really scared to

be disappointed again, and it,

98

and people literally say, I

am scared to have hope again.

99

Literally scared to

death to have hope again.

100

That's one thing we hear.

101

The other thing we hear on the

other side is I'm skeptical.

102

The more good things I see coming from

your program, the more skeptical I am.

103

It's impossible that it's

this good or it's impossible.

104

Your Google reviews look like

this, therefore it must be fake.

105

So it's really fascinating that to me,

like both of these types of responses,

106

whether it's fear or skepticism.

107

To me is rooted in a lot of the trauma

that we've experienced, and a lot of it

108

is based around fear and past experiences.

109

I would love for us, um, if you guys

would love to, I'd love to share

110

where you were before the program.

111

When you were watching one of these

videos, what went through your head?

112

Like, what was your biggest fear?

113

Like what, what were you being fed

by fear or scarcity or skepticism?

114

Anyone?

115

So for me, I was, honestly, I

was relieved at first because

116

I was just like, oh, thank God.

117

Thank God someone's doing this.

118

Right.

119

But I was honestly, my biggest fear

was getting worse even temporarily.

120

Mm-Hmm.

121

I was like, if I feel any worse than I.

122

I'm gonna lose it.

123

Like, that was my biggest concern because

I was like, I've been feeling this way

124

for however long, for years, and if I

start something, a new protocol that makes

125

me feel worse, even a little bit uhhuh,

I'm like, I, I was worried that I was

126

gonna get depressed or upset, like really

upset and not be able to get outta it.

127

And so that's what I love so much about

being in this space and in this program.

128

Is that it, it's just couched in.

129

Like you are so beautifully

held at all layers.

130

Mm-Hmm.

131

And every time you say like, Ooh,

this isn't making me feel well, Dr.

132

Maggie's like, okay, done, done with that.

133

Let's do this.

134

Like she's got an answer

for fricking everything.

135

But what I'm hearing from you, Laura,

is that your fear of getting worse.

136

Was one of the is issues, if I

do nothing, I will get worse.

137

That's a well-founded fear, right?

138

Yeah.

139

But there's also a second fear is

the fear of trying something new that

140

could possibly make me get worse.

141

Yeah.

142

Okay.

143

So that, those are two very real fears.

144

What about you, Jamie, or Monica?

145

Yeah, so I think mine would be, not that

the program wouldn't work or doesn't work,

146

it's just that it wouldn't work for me.

147

And, and I think you call that

like the Special Zebra phenomenon.

148

Super special zebra phenomenon I call it.

149

Yeah.

150

And I think that had been my experience.

151

I would go to different specialists

and they would gimme suggestions

152

and then for me it wouldn't work.

153

And they'd be like, what?

154

This works for everybody.

155

It doesn't work for you.

156

You know?

157

And so I kind of.

158

Start to get this, this thing this,

this mindset or this belief about, you

159

know, everything works for everybody

else, but nothing is gonna work for me.

160

Will this work for me?

161

Is your question?

162

Yes.

163

And it's a belief that I have a super

special problem nobody can solve.

164

Yes.

165

I'm just that special, you

know, I laugh at danger.

166

Whenever someone says a story like

that, I typ, I actually typically

167

can't get help but laugh in some ways

because it's such a common belief.

168

Yeah.

169

And in some ways is the

belief I myself had as well.

170

So Totally.

171

I totally get that.

172

What about you, Monica?

173

So for me, both fear and hope were the

same two different sides of the same coin.

174

Mm-Hmm.

175

My fear was that either I was

going to die point and there

176

was no resurrection for me.

177

Ah, or the hope was this is a person

who is logically laying out all these

178

testimonials of people who have actually

come out through this as a success.

179

So my logical mind would always

tell me, think with hope, and

180

I would push forward with it.

181

But my fear was death is the only outcome.

182

That was my fear.

183

And that kept me from a lot of

things till I said, that's it.

184

I have to take up the hope.

185

Now.

186

That was the only path left for me.

187

So for me, it sounds like fear of

death was big, but you were balancing

188

it with also, um, your logical

mind and your scientific mind.

189

That's proof right here.

190

So that's how you balanced it.

191

Yeah.

192

Okay.

193

So I wanna talk a little bit

about my own fear and skepticism.

194

And, and for me, you know, I, I've done

videos about the role of trauma, and I

195

think that's a, that's a big, big deal

for a lot of us, whether it's, you know,

196

physical, emotional, medical trauma.

197

I think that really leaves an imprint.

198

And for me, I mean, I'm

using a different example.

199

Just because, um, let's say for

me, one of the things for me was,

200

um, something very huge devastating

happened to me where the clinic

201

that I owned was actually embezzled,

not by one, but multiple people.

202

And it was a huge betrayal.

203

It was.

204

It was the huge hit financially.

205

Um, and what that created in me from that

bad experience is I've been really burned

206

and I honestly was really burned, right?

207

And I went into protection,

which is, well, I'm gonna believe

208

now that everyone is evil.

209

Everyone's evil.

210

Just like how many people out there

thinks all doctors are evil or all

211

doctors don't know what they're

doing, or, you know, all, all people

212

are bad or nobody can help me.

213

But I feel like, um, once we've been

traumatized or we've been burned

214

really hard in whatever way, right?

215

Our brain goes in a

protection mode, which is.

216

Go to a belief that we

think is gonna protect us.

217

So for me, I went into protectionism

where I thought everybody's evil,

218

everybody else is getting me.

219

Everybody else is going to take

something from me and therefore

220

I'm gonna really be on guard.

221

And I was the highly skeptical person.

222

And for years I would, every

time I would meet someone.

223

Uh, even if people try to get close,

I would be really shut down on

224

the outside looked normal, right?

225

But I was really, really shut down,

so I was very skeptical of people

226

and that my biggest fear was that.

227

People really are all evil and

that they're gonna do nothing but

228

take everything from me, including

my life was what it felt like.

229

And so skepticism was my mo.

230

And it really came from trauma.

231

And I could see, we've talked about

it, so many people have medical trauma

232

where because they've had a bad medical

experience, they have the same thing and

233

same belief that all medical professionals

are bad, all medical care is bad.

234

Um, and so they become very

skeptical of all medicine,

235

all medical doctors or anyone.

236

So in that sense.

237

That was my biggest fear, but

what it brought me was to the

238

biggest rock bottom of my life.

239

I was the most isolated, lonely.

240

And poor individual in the world in a

lot of ways because I was so worried

241

that everyone's gonna like be, was evil

and gonna take something that I ended

242

up leading a very lonely and sick life.

243

I was getting sicker

and sicker and sicker.

244

Continuing that trauma on my own

body over and over and over again.

245

So for me, I had no choice.

246

I mean, I was gonna, I

was gonna die hanging on.

247

I, I could be right and think everyone

is evil and hang onto that belief.

248

I would rather be right

and dead than to shift.

249

And that was where I got, had to get to

a choice where I'm like, I had a shift

250

out of the skepticism because it's, it's

not getting me anywhere and it's making

251

me sicker and more lonely than ever.

252

So skepticism to me, in my case, came

from extremely traumatic experience in

253

criminal activity from people, right?

254

So that, I think it's a response.

255

My fear was as a response to trauma and

I went into skepticism as protection.

256

And so one of the things I wanna ask you

guys was, I know Monica, for you, the

257

way out of skepticism for you was you

said there's logical proof this works.

258

And it, it doesn't sound to me like Jamie

or Laura, you, you, both of you were not

259

struggling with skepticism, were you?

260

N not, yeah.

261

Not, not in the way

that I think Monica was.

262

Yeah.

263

Yeah.

264

One of the things I think it's important

I noticed is, is that, um, you know,

265

in our, all the mindset work that we

do in our program, one of the things

266

I talk about is focus is power.

267

And what you focus on grows.

268

And that comes from the very

root of my own experience.

269

If you wake up every morning

thinking who else is gonna be evil?

270

What evil things are evil doers

gonna do, then you're gonna

271

manifest, what am I, what's my

brain gonna look for all day long?

272

Oh, there's another evil thing.

273

There's another evil person.

274

Like what you literally focus and

your brain starts to look for and

275

that's what grows in your life.

276

And even if someone was generous

with me, kind to me, it was really

277

hard for me to even see it because

what is my brain looking for?

278

The evidence that I'm right.

279

Your brain is unconsciously always looking

for evidence to support that you're right.
