Gut Health

I love listening to VJ’s podcasts. They are so educational and informative. VJ helped me last year with my gut health but there is so much more to learn. Her podcasts have helped me carry on my learning. Thank you.

Autoimmune disease diagnosis

After being diagnosed recently it is interesting to the learn from a fellow sufferer who understands the dimensions of the extremities people with an autoimmune disease have to learn to live with. I am looking forward to listening to more episodes and hoping to find ways to reduce my flares and symptoms.
