➡ https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/gra...

Have you ever said that your body is fighting against itself? Or have you ever thought that your body has betrayed you? Chances are if you have said those things, it may be more detrimental than you think. Or is it? Believe it or not, the evidence is… well… you’ll just have to listen and find out!

On today’s episode, we are going to answer the question… is it helpful or detrimental for your body to be fighting against itself? The answer is powerful, it involves the thick Velcro on boxing gloves, and I think it’s going to surprise you.

In this thought-provoking episode, host Holly Bertone delves into the impact of language on our health, specifically focusing on phrases like "my body is fighting against itself" in the context of autoimmune diseases.
Drawing from personal experiences, including a battle with breast cancer and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Holly explores the dual nature of such expressions. On one hand, they can serve as empowering rallying cries, fostering a fighting spirit crucial for overcoming health challenges. On the other hand, the host challenges listeners to consider whether these phrases perpetuate a state of perpetual stress, hindering the body's ability to heal.

The episode encourages a shift in perspective, suggesting that these expressions might be the body's way of protecting itself rather than attacking. Holly invites listeners to reflect on their beliefs, emphasizing the potential impact of self-talk on well-being. A blend of personal anecdotes, scientific insights, and a call to reevaluate our relationship with our bodies, this episode offers a unique perspective on the mind-body connection in health.
