Love your Diagnosis

Miles is a filmmaker with lifelong epilepsy. He is a board member on two epilepsy foundations and has long fought for the use of cinema to end stigma. His recent epilepsy film Under the Lights played film festivals internationally and started conversations on representation with the public. He is developing and raising money to make the feature film, which he believes could be the most far reaching awareness effort ever done. Under the Lights is the story of Sam, a boy with epilepsy, so desperate to feel like a normal kid, he goes to prom knowing that the lights will make him have a seizure. Cinema has historically stigmatized and ignored people with epilepsy. A demographic of 1 in 26 who have almost never been represented authentically on screen, and suffer from brutal stigma every day. Written and Directed by filmmaker with epilepsy, Miles Levin.So excited for this to be amongst the winners in independent cinema.Enjoy the interviewIf you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/lainie.chaitA little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

What a bloody legend Carlson is!Quite late into the diagnostic realm of having epilepsy at age 33 and 5 years later, even though he is still working it all out, he has leapt into the music scene and is now advocating for epilepsy through spoken word, with electronic music in the background.What started as just shouting his frustration into a voice recorder about his diagnosis has now taken the music scene by storm.So grateful to have someone like him dispelling myths, taking risks and educating through art and music.Check him out here:https://ourcarlson.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/our.carlson/?hl=enhttps://linktr.ee/ourcarlsonIf you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/RawEncounters/A little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

I was pretty excited to speak with Rob aka Adeptus Psychonautica about his life. I came across Rob from his You Tube channels where he reviews, runs commentary, and shares observations on all things relating to the psychedelic community.This world has always interested me but I have only dabbled and been a bit cautious due to having too much fear around what my brain would do during a deep trip. Would I have a grand mal seizure? Point is, there are alot of people who run these circles where I live that don't have the knowledge or experience or confidence to take on people with epilepsy.Rob however, has wholeheartedly jumped into this world, even with epilepsy and we get into conversation around his epilepsy and how it plays out when it comes to his journeys.You can find Rob's channels here to learn morehttps://www.youtube.com/@AdeptusPsychonauticahttps://www.instagram.com/nicaragua_nova/If you would like to donate to the running of the podcast ad free I would be so grateful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/RawEncounters/A little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

In this episode of Love your 'epilepsy' Diagnosis I talk with Laurie-Anne about her journey with Epilepsy.Laurie-Anne experiences nocturnal seizures mostly which was a foreign concept to me before we spoke. We discuss the initial diagnosis and then how medications affected her and made her worse. We then discuss how her seizures look now off all the meds, her incredible carer and how animal therapy, particularly equine therapy and having horses has really helped her manage her stress and therefore, the frequency of her seizures.If you would like to donate to the running of the podcast ad free I would be so grateful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirll55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/RawEncounters/A little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Belle H about her diagnosis of Stage 4 Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common disorder that affects many women and can be joy altering due to the pain that is endured every month. The disorder is from the uterine lining growing outside of the uterus to ovaries, fallopian tubes and even intestines. OUCH!!!Belle tells her story of having options to deal with the discomfort by taking the contraceptive pill which is the first point of call for many women. This avenue didn't help her though so she sucked it up for many decades and just surrendered to being in pain. Until she opted for a hysterectomy at 37 and her life has never been better.A story of choice, tenacity and hope.Enjoy!I do everything for this podcast with no financial backing why? because I think it's important to share people's stories and successes in order to empower everyone!!  If you would like to donate to the running of the podcast ad free I would be so grateful. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3TQ95ZU6EXBFQYou can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/Also you can sign up to my quarterly newsletter below where tips and resources will be shared for you about different topics of wellness that you can  feel into and decide if they are right for you.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Cat Seddon about her diagnosis of Breast Cancer and how she was whipped off to surgery two weeks after diagnosis to remove 8 out of 24  metastasised  lymph nodes in her body. After this surgery, Cat was told that she would need to remove one breast definitely, but to be safe recommended removal of both breasts as well as chemo and radiation to stop the spread and make sure that all cancer was removed.After realising that this was all just a preventative way of addressing the spread, Cat went on a mission to research what else she could do to address her diagnosis alternatively. Her only interest was in her survival and she was open to everything.It's a success story of having tenacity and courage when it comes to finding a treatment/s that align with you.Enjoy and keep a notepad handy!You can contact Cat here:cat@seddon.infoSOME LINKS CAT HAS SHARED:https://niim.com.au/research-education/circulating-tumour-cells-ctc-studyhttps://www.mayocliniclabs.com/articles/features/ctc/https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20-Questions-For-Your-Oncologist.pdfhttps://www.howtostarvecancer.com/https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170109134014.htmThis group was a huge part of Cat's healing.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Andi Herman about her diagnosis of Obesity and living with a relationship to food that was a tapestry of using it to self soothe, for comfort,  but also feeling the effects of shame around it as well.Andi struggled with her body image and relationship to food from a young age and that carried into adulthood. She tried a myriad of ways to stay at a healthy weight but nothing really worked for her......until she was pointed, rather awkwardly, into looking into lapband surgery.For Andi this was a success and she shares the ins and outs of it in this episode.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Kate Mckintosh about her diagnosis of treatment resistance depression, anxiety and pmdd (pre menstral dysphoric disorder) which is a really, really bad version of PMS that leaves women with severe feelings of anxiety and depression which happen cycle after cycle and generally become part of a life that can be void of joy.In this episode we unpack how Kate was existing in and outside of her diagnosis for many years. From denial and using drugs and alcohol to cope to being alcohol and drug free and finding acceptance of her diagnosis within understanding what pmdd is and does.She has also found one of nature's medicine's to assist her, microdosing psilocybin, as one of her treatments and claims that "life has never been better". For Kate the combo of pharmies, meditation, yoga and microdosing has changed her life.Listen on for all  the gold in Kate's account of her journey.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Natalie Holcroft about her diagnosis of AVM - Arterial Venous malformation at age 14 which then led her to develop Epilepsy resulting in five brain surgeries in 20 yearsFIVE BRAIN SURGERIES in 20 YEARS. Three for the AVM at age 14 and then two related to the epilepsy later on in life. Nat is only 36.Nat's story was particularly interesting to me as she has an outlook that "everything happens to people for a reason" and that having these brain related issues has humbled her and made her a more empathetic human.As much as she would like it, allopathic medicine is really one of the only options for her as she would be risking her life if she doesn't find a sweet balance that her brain can handle to remain electrically stable. She has attempted Keto and other modalities to assist the meds but is resigned to loving her diagnosis in other ways.To find out some ways you can look at using traditional plants as part of your wellness journey particularly for brain enhancing herbs click on the link belowhttps://www.happyherbcompany.com/You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/Also you can sign up to my quarterly newsletter below where tips and resources will be shared for you about different topics of wellness that you can  feel into and decide if they are right for you.

In this Episode of Love your Diagnosis, I talk with Gael about her diagnosis of Trigeminal/Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia  Gael's symptoms  began around 2014. On a daily basis, Gael would get severe razor like spasms under the left side of her tongue which would sometimes last for weeks or months and then short periods of no symptoms. At this stage she didn't feel the need to seek medical advice. As you'll hear, she is quite a stoic, determined lady. After seeing a neurologist and discussing that his treatment to assist her was going to be  resolved by taking nerve blockers that are usually given to people with epilepsy or cranial surgery, she decided to walk away and seek help from an Integrative Health Doctor.Together they came up with the fix using vitamin, mineral, herbal, and meditation healing treatments. Gael has been symptom free for about 18 months now.

We discuss his life before, when he was a radio presenter and the crazy things he got up to during that time.During the diagnosis, as in, what the symptoms where that led him to see a doctor and then about the lesions that started forming on his brain, the myelin disintegrating and how Vitamin D changed his world.

In this episode I talk with the inspirational Kimberly Clark, a Navy veteran who used her biggest obstacles to find opportunities for empowerment and recovery. Kimberly talks about her horrific childhood and military sexual trauma experiences, her battles with addiction, and her road to recovery that made her an inspiration to those going through similar difficulties.Because of her dedication to her own recovery, Kimberly has learned about the therapeutic benefits of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the job of a peer support specialist, where she uses her personal experiences to help other veterans get well. Her writing and speaking engagements as a motivational speaker and author highlight her message of resiliency and the potential to overcome adversity.Kimberly provides insights about the value of therapy—especially EMDR—as well as the ability of regularity and discipline to help people stay focused and move forward in their healing process throughout the entire episode. Her story is not just one of overcoming but also of using her past as a foundation to build a future where she continues to inspire and support others through her advocacy, speaking engagements, and written works.Her you tube link herehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWR9xjwqGR-DC_w_Vn7tZYgIf you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here as a paperback or audio or e book, which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://lainiechait.com.au/shop-main/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/lainie.chaitA little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

Dale Allen-Rowse and I unpack parts of his journey living with generalised Dystonia. We get to know Dale and really get an understanding of what Dystonia is, which is essentially part of the Tourette's family.Below is a little excerpt from Dale:"Do you know what it's like to be a teen and have to run for your life to avoid being put into Conversion Therapy? I do. Do you know what it's like to show up at your baptist minister father's funeral and be told that the reason he's dead is because of you? I do. Do you know what its like to have your mother tell you that, had she known you'd be the result of having children that she wouldn't have bothered? I do. -WHY?- Because I was raised in a religious home, not a spiritual one. And for this abuse... I am blessed. Truly. However it wasn't until I was really ready to unpack all of that 'stuff' that was still living within me, that I found its gifts. My books are spiritual fiction that talk about personal evolution and how what we've been given in life ISN'T a mistake. So much so that I'd say my greatest asset is my trauma, and while I've had to learn how to manage my PTSD and PTSD induced neurological movement disorder (generalized dystonia) I wouldn't change it for the world because its what has lead me to channeling books and shamanism and tons of other weird shit that I love and that makes sense to me - but it's there, in the chasing of your weird that we discover a crack in the expected and see God."Here is a medical site about Dystonia if you would like to know more: https://tinyurl.com/43a85xcjHere’s a video Dale did showing his symptoms: https://youtu.be/zfIyzFqm4OgLink to buy Dale's bookhttps://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B0B7QH19KR?_encoding=UTF8&node=283155&offset=0&pageSize=12&searchAlias=stripbooks&sort=author-sidecar-rank&page=1&langFilter=default#formatSelectorHeaderIf you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://electrogirl.com.au/product/electro-girl-living-a-symbiotic-existence-with-epilepsy-paperback/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/lainie.chaitA little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.
