UC 277: Recovering from an Autoimmune Disease

Karyn Finneseth is one remarkable woman.  Cyndi met this incredible woman at Terry Wahls Conference and then again at Nourishing Traditions in 2017.  At 37 Karyn was diagnosed with an Autoimmune Disease that affected her legs, speech, cognition and ability to function as an anaesthetist’s assistant.  She was given no hope by her specialist who declared the progression of her disease and the medications she would have to take for the rest of her life as well as telling her diet and lifestyle changes had nothing to do with her disease.  Sometimes angels come into our lives and Karyn had several enter including medical doctors, dietitians, cooks and a husband that supported her through not only her own changes but that of the entire family.  This is an incredible interview of determination even though her prognosis was fraught with more ill health.

UC 273: Talking Chemicals, Life and Fame with Therese Kerr

Therese Kerr needs no introduction. A wife, mother and grandmother, this amazing woman is a passionate health and wellness trail blazer in her own right. Diagnosed with endometriosis in 1995 and Hashimotos in 1997, Therese suffered many other conditions including lethargy, being overweight, dry skin, rosacea and migraines. Considering she thought she was a fairly healthy person this was all a massive shock to her, however she resolved to the fact there was little she could do. In 2001 she developed tumours on her spleen which resulted in it being removed. This was Therese’s ‘a-ha’ moment. Wondering what had caused all of this she was grateful to come across Bill Statham’s book, “The Chemical Maze”. This opened up a whole world which started with launching Kora Organic Skincare in 2009 with her famous model daughter Miranda Kerr, her husband Johnny and son Matty. In 2014, The Divine Company began manufacturing the highest quality, purest Australian Certified Organic personal care, men’s care and baby care products on the market with testimonials that have been beautiful and heartwarming. Therese is a well known speaker on the wellness circuit with a real love of people, connection and education. She is a wealth of knowledge and we know you will thoroughly enjoy this amazing insightful and educational podcast with Kim and Carren hosting. You can contact Therese at www.theresekerr.com and follow her on Instagram for daily inspiration at theresekerr. A beautiful interview with a beautiful soul. We hope you enjoy!
