If you're living with autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, or breast cancer, it can feel like you're supposed to change everything at once.

In this episode of The Health Bridge Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Carol Lourie to explore the connection between autoimmune disease, inflammation, breast cancer, emotional health, nutrition, environmental factors, movement, sleep, and the way we approach our own healing.

Dr. Carol Lourie is a naturopath, Chinese medicine practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, and homeopath with more than four decades of clinical experience. She has spent more than 20 years specializing in integrative breast cancer care.

We talk about what may connect autoimmune disease and breast cancer, the role of inflammation, how emotional patterns can affect the way we experience illness, and what women can actually begin to control.

We also talk about something I think is especially important for women living with chronic illness:

You don't have to change everything at once. Start with one thing.

Because when the list of things you're "supposed" to do becomes overwhelming, it's easy to do nothing at all.

The goal isn't perfection. It's taking the next step.

• Autoimmune disease, inflammation and breast cancer
• Emotional health, trauma and self-worth
• People-pleasing and putting yourself last
• Nutrition and inflammatory foods
• The importance of community during a healing journey
• Environmental factors and creating a healthier home
• Movement and building consistency gradually
• Sleep, stress and your nighttime environment
• Why doing everything at once can backfire
• Moving from hopelessness toward possibility
• The power of taking one small step
