In this first episode of Chronic & Thriving – Unfiltered, I share the personal health journey that led me here - from peak fitness to a sudden diagnosis that changed everything.

After developing Graves’ disease while training for a major charity challenge, I believed I had rebuilt my health  - until further autoimmune and inflammatory conditions forced me to confront a deeper truth -  treating symptoms isn’t the same as healing.

This episode touches on:

  • What happens when your health deteriorates rapidly and answers are limited
  • Why chronic illness is rarely linear
  • The role of chronic inflammation, toxicity, mould exposure, and genetics
  • Why medication can be life-saving - but not always the full solution
  • How listening to your body can change everything

If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” but don’t feel fine -  this conversation is for you.

If any of this resonates with you, I would love for you to join me on this journey, so please subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it with anyone who might need it. If you have questions or topics you’d like me to cover, send me a message on social media or avanihealthhub.co.uk – I would love to hear from you!
