Beyond Remission: An MD on Healing from Crohn's Disease

In this episode of the Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast, Dr. Selvi Rengasami shares her journey of reaching remission and beyond from Crohn's disease. Since childhood, she had endured difficult digestive symptoms. But once she was in a stressful college environment, it soon advanced to Crohn’s disease.
As she pursued her own lifelong dream of becoming a physician, she grappled with accepting and managing what would become a debilitating illness.
In this episode, we discuss…
The challenging, and at times, life-threatening impact of Crohn’s on her health
Her experience with conventional Crohn’s treatment, including steroids and surgeries
Why this MD explored alternative approaches
How a paleo diet influenced her Crohn’s symptoms
The positive impact of acupuncture
Her mind-body approach to healing, including meditation, visualization, and inner child work
How she learned to listen to her body's signals and treat symptoms as invitations for deeper self-awareness
The importance of healing at the body’s own pace
How she reached remission from Crohn’s and beyond
Her advice for others on a healing journey
