What are we supposed to do when our doctors give us no safe options for treatment? What if our life could be at risk?
Today I’m interviewing adaptogen genius Shanais Pelka. She is the research + development manager at my absolute favorite superfood company, Organifi. They are constantly trying to source the best ingredients, superfoods + adaptogens so Shanais is the perfect person to spear head that task with her extensive expertise in healing with adaptogenic nutrition.
Our conversation got so juicy, that I actually had to split it up into two parts because we talked for over two hours. This is part 1. Today you hear all about:
- Finding out she had a rare deadly blood disease called ITP
- Her work reversing autism with diet + adaptogens
- How stress affects us + our adrenals long term
- How obsession with greatness + status can harm our health
- How AHCC helped her
- How the adrenal glands really work
- How to be your own health advocate when everything seems dark
If you are or have ever struggled with any sort of complex health issue...where you would literally do anything, pay anything, to just figure out and get to the bottom of it, you will identify with Shanais! I can’t wait for you to hear her whole story.
When you listen through and you love it, send it to someone you care about that is struggling with their health and needs some encouragement. or someone that just wants to be entertained by a gripping story. Watch for part 2 later this week!
