#27: Chronic Illness & The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection with Pavlina Jirouskova

Although there have been such wonderful advancements in science and healthcare, there remains a considerable gap between mind, body and spirit. We often focus on addressing or suppressing physical health issues and symptoms without considering the whole individual and their unique root causes. 

In this episode, I speak with nutritionist, holistic health coach and fellow HSP Pavlina Jirouskova, to discuss how the highly sensitive person (HSP) is often more susceptible to chronic health issues and how to address these issues through a more holistic framework. We explore:

• Pavlina’s story, the work she does in holding space for women with chronic health issues and her own eczema healing journey
• Why the HSP often experiences chronic health issues (e.g. pain, menstrual problems, inflammatory, digestive issues)
•  Learning to slow down and listen to the body to understand what our physical symptoms are communicating to us
• How inherited/ancestral patterns may draw our attention to unresolved issues that require healing
• The mind-body-spirit connection and why it’s important to address all components on the healing path 
• Simple and practical strategies for individuals experiencing chronic health symptoms
