About this listen

Talking to Jamie about what it's like to be diagnosed with chronic conditions (Axial Spondyloarthritis and Crohns) at the age of 19. 👣 We discuss the spiritual perspective he now takes towards pain, small steps everyone can take to reduce inflammation, the isolating measures he took to improve his health and how he has now found a sense of balance. 👣 To prioritise health, Jamie had to step away from the crowd and seem a bit like an outcast in his life habits, choosing to Be rather than Belong. From difficulty walking to now being free of pain for 2 years - his journey is inspiring. 👣 Jamie has now founded an organisation @yogaforas with Jeff, a 76 year old friend with AS, and has dedicated himself to helping others in similar situations to him... 👣 Both Jamie and I have recently-diagnosed autoimmune conditions, mine being Hashimoto's, so hearing his perspective is useful and I hope it helps others too. 👣 More than 6% of the UK now live with an autoimmune condition, with 80% being women. This number is on the rise. 👣 If you like my content, follow @tobeorbelong on Instagram and listen on Spotify and YouTube 🙏
