As someone who has dealt with my own chronic health issues, I was really inspired by Cassandra and Noelle's stories. Like many people, they both struggled trying to get an accurate diagnosis and find relief for their mysterious symptoms.  What really resonated with me was the isolation and lack of support they experienced once diagnosed. The conventional medicine route of medications and procedures didn't provide the full solution. That's when they realized they had to become their own health advocates and investigate lifestyle changes like diet, movement, reducing toxins and more.  Through trial and error, they found combinations that worked to heal their bodies and put their diseases in remission. But what Noelle and Cassandra say made the biggest difference was finding community. They wished they had a supportive group who understood what they were going through earlier in their journey.  That's why they started BrightlyThrive - to provide the community, resources, and encouragement they needed during their autoimmunity experience. Their mission is to reframe autoimmunity as an opportunity, not a life sentence. During our conversation, Noelle and Cassandra shared: - How autoimmune diseases have been skyrocketing, with over 100 types affecting 50 million Americans - Steps they took to heal including eliminating trigger foods, gut healing protocols, lifestyle changes - The power of mindset and having the belief you can thrive with autoimmunity  - Why connection with others on a similar path is such strong medicine - How an autoimmune diagnosis can be a catalyst to transform your health and life I was blown away by their positivity, passion and dedication to helping others going through autoimmune struggles. It's not an easy road, but they are proof you can find remission and live a vibrant, full life.  If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, I highly recommend tuning in to this encouraging and informative episode. The steps Noelle and Cassandra share can help put you on the path to healing and thriving as well. You can Connect with Cassandra and Noelle in the following ways:  Website – https://brightlythrive.comInstagram - @brightlythriveFacebook - @brightlythriveTikTok - @brightlythrive Eager to rewrite the narrative of your life and health?
