This week, we have 26-year-old Rachel Straining. Rachel, aka @thenoglutengirl on Instagram, is not only a fabulous food blogger, but also an advocate for all things Crohn's, food intolerance &amp; sensitivity, and bowel disease. Rachel and I connected back in 2019- I had just been diagnosed with Crohn's and felt lost in my chronic diagnosis. Little did I know, when I reached out, Rachel had hit another rock bottom of her own Crohn's journey. Having a bowel, autoimmune disease like Crohn's can be incredibly hard. Not only for the obvious reasons, like chronic pain and discomfort- but it can also be really emotionally taxing. Anxiety, isolation, not being taken seriously, self-blame, and invisible pain are all things that both Rachel &amp; I have experienced. In this episode, we talk about that mental struggle. We discuss symptoms, getting the diagnosis and what that process looks like, finding doctors that have your best interests at heart, lifestyle and diet changes, medications, relationships, and so much more as it pertains to Crohn's. We truly walk you through every step, and leave no detail to the imagination. I encourage you to give it a listen; this is great not only for anyone struggling with a disease like Crohn's but also for anyone experiencing awful stomach pain/symptoms that need help lighting the way to a diagnosis. Our DMs are always open- if you need to reach out or are feeling alone, we’re here for you xoFollow RachelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenoglutengirl/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenoglutengirl?lang=en Blog: https://thenoglutengirl.com/Shop Raw &amp; Rebellious: https://www.rawrebellious.com/Raw &amp; Rebellious Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raw_rebellious/Raw &amp; Rebellious TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@raw_rebellious?lang=enRaw Intentions Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rawintentionspodcast/

Navigating Gluten & Crohns ft. Rachel Straining

Living with a Chronic Illness is never an easy road but today’s guest, Rachel Straining of @thenoglutengirl, has managed to turn her diagnosis into something more. As a previous guest of the show, Rachel shares all the changes in her life since then, the beginning of which is advocacy work. As an official member of the Crohn's &amp; Colitis Young Adult Network, Rachel is one of eight international young adults sharing their story for good. Joining this network has allowed Rachel to release the shame of her diagnosis and focus her attention on helping others through her own experience. Rachel explains how she has found strength in vulnerability and come to embrace her situation with ease of mind. In this she has had to confront limiting beliefs and lies of her own mind to battle the internal dialogue of ‘I’m not good enough.” Rachel shares her philosophy that thoughts become things and that the messaging we use can directly affect our life. She also shares what it’s like to live with Crohn’s and the grieving process after receiving a chronic diagnosis.In this episode we discuss: Rachel’s work with CCYAN as 1 of 8 international fellowsReleasing the shame of her diagnosisFinding strength in vulnerability and sharing her story for goodWhy the internal dialogue we have with ourselves is so importantOvercoming the urge to be perfectBTS of her infamous yogurtChoosing to have compassion for ourselves and othersGrieving after a chronic diagnosisLeaning into the unknownFind Rachel @thenoglutengirl and I’m @emilyfeikls and @letsthrivepodcastTo learn more about starting a podcast, email me at feiklsemily@gmail.com for more info on my Podcast Consultation offer!

Strength in Vulnerability and Overcoming Perfectionism with Rachel Straining

Melody Hartzler

The way that we eat has a huge impact on the way that we feel. Yet somehow, this message has been lost in the allopathic medical system. In this episode, Lindsey and her guests are tackling how our relationship with food, as patients and pharmacists, can be addressed in a more effective way. First, Lindsey is sitting down with pharmacist Melody Hartzler, of Pharm to Table, who is a champion of functional medicine as a way to find the root cause of any disease. She is working to integrate functional medicine into disease management across the country, while teaching how to apply the key concepts of functional medicine. Next, Lindsey sits down with Rachel Straining who was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when she was in high school. Rachel turned her hardships into helping other navigate a life with chronic illnesses, which is why she chose to share her journey and raise awareness one real talk at a time. She took back control of her health by changing her diet.Then, Lindsey shares some information from her gluten-free cookbook, The Clean Slate Cleanse. She talks about the transformation of wheat, and how avoiding gluten can impact everything from your gut health to your brain function.
