Q&A with Mandy Meehan | Marriage, Wellness, Purpose, & More

[@ehb101]

Hey, girl. It's so refreshing to see someone my age who also suffers from chronic illnesses who also makes videos. I really look up to you!

[@davidhodge8509]

I started a side business a few months ago while also recovering from CFS. It’s hard to balance the business with also knowing I can slack on my health. Thanks for sharing! Wish you the best!

[@txjewishdogmom]

Thank you so much for your channel! I have a lot of chronic illnesses and am bed bound. Your channel is incredibly encouraging and educational to me.

[@emilyfebles7335]

Love this Q&A. I also love how honest and vulnerable you are. You can clearly see you emotion at times when talking about what you go through or how you're trying to deal with it/ get better. This is really been an encouragement and motivation for me and my own health issues as I continue to do what I can to better my health holistically.

[@jacquelinem116]

Thank you for openness!!! Have been struggling to serve and feel robbed of purpose and hope given my minimal progress. This was encouraging. My deepest prayer is my pain will help someone and I have been stuck about this. I do think you put it well I need to have grace with myself, trust in God's timing, advocate for myself, and pray about God's will

[@MandyMeehan]

Thank YOU for this sweet comment. I believe that he will use you. 💕

[@aglemonlover7709]

Me too, it can be so hard! How are you doing now?💕

[@melarenee308]

Thank you for mentioning Lyme Literate doctors! So many people think it's a good idea to go to a PCP and/or an infectious disease doctor for treatment, but really they don't know all the details about Lyme disease along with the co infections that can come from ticks and other bugs. And even if they have some knowledge, they only know the small list of symptoms the CDC relays, and they certainly don't treat you long term as needed (not this B.S. 30 day antibiotic script). Lyme literate medical doctors are certified through the ILADS program, and have been trained to diagnose and treat with various resources.

[@lydiakirby4666]

I would love more info on your experience/knowledge on Cronic EBV!

[@MandyMeehan]

Learning a ton right now. Will share more soon. 💜

[@mizuza12]

Nice to see you. As a mostly house bound and often bed bound chronic illness sufferer , I get my hope from my faith in Jesus I love this scripture - Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. - Colossians 3:1 I remind myself these trials are temporary and an eternal heavenly body awaits. All that matters is I have Jesus, he saved me and like Paul I am working on being content in every situation. My limited energy is for my family and church when I am able. May God strengthen you as you continue to work towards health.

[@MandyMeehan]

Amen. Love this. Still praying for progress for you. 💕

You should do a video on your hair routine and what products you use in your hair!

[@shaylahope6345]

It’s so good to see you!!!! I love watching your videos! I love all of your content! You have given me hope in the hardest times! Happy holidays Mandy!💛

[@MandyMeehan]

My heart 🙈💜 I love when I get to film and share. Makes me so happy!

[@lydiakirby4666]

Berkeley does not filter out minerals. We have one and live in a heavy mineral hard water area. Some of the minerals are good for you but the mineral “scum” is still an issue! It tastes great and I like knowing that I’m not ingesting fluoride (have hashi).

[@MandyMeehan]

For sure. It’s not the perfect water filter, but really great overall!

[@LoveServeOvercome]

You're beautiful Mandy!! 😍

[@p47rr]

Was wondering if you tried Dr Terry Whalhs diet? There are three different levels. The most difficult promotes energy and improves brain fog. She recovered from MS. I am going to try this next. Also going to Mayo in April.

[@sarahtrail1375]

Hi Mandy! I wanted to see if I could ask you a question. With your chronic illness did you ever have the symptom of muscle weakness or muscle fatigue in the beginning? Like you lost some of your strength and it was harder to lift things and you could only do it for a short amount of time?

[@lydiakirby4666]

Sarah Trail, not Sarah but I certainly did. That was one of my most noticeable symptoms. 20 years later it is still frustratingly with me.

[@bertrutledge4546]

As a nutrition consultant do you work with type 2 diabetes patients?

[@MandyMeehan]

For sure! I won’t be seeing any more clients until early 2020 though.

[@bertrutledge4546]

@@MandyMeehan Ok, also you said you add minerals to your ro drinking water, what do you add? Trying to get my wife to drink less Sprite and more water and having a hard time getting her to drink water.

[@Janarae18]

Check out taste and score minerals. That’s what my doctor recommends

[@kimisom9839]

After seeing your video, I've contacted the DRNS website to see if it could help my pain brain rewire. I know it's not a quick fix but I've run out of hope. Ki Love your positive attitude and the fact you prayer with us on one of you videos. God bless and keep up the great videos.

[@sadiegirl3011]

How have you been feeling?

[@MandyMeehan]

Making great progress - update video coming soon!

[@janesjourney9564]

Hi Mandy--A video of yours came up on my auto-play, and it was like hitting pay dirt! It’s beautiful you’re addressing the “infectious” and “toxic" side of FM/CFS--but speak on rheumatology endocrine etc. I launched a channel primarily looking at the endocrine side of things. Medical studies etc. to put my money where my mouth is. (I have had Cushing’s and hypopituitarism--and could be the poster child for all things FM.) I’ve branched off into the nutritional side of things. (such as staving off diabetes.) I will binge watch your channel! And would like to invite you to visit mine. PS. I had essentially become bedridden...and after I finally got the help I needed, I was listening to Isaiah in the car...and Isaiah spoke to God about the tremendous grief the king was experiencing over his terminal illness, and God granted the king 15 more years. Not that I’m a king, and not that I’ve been granted 15 years...it’s just that it bears witness of God’s power to intervene in my life... Short intro Jane’s Journey Introduction.

[@acionnaanassa4042]

Do you get tired from using your arms when you speak? I wish I could still do that.

[@MandyMeehan]

When I was at my worst with my illness, I totally experienced that. I’m thankful that I’ve made so much progress now that it isn’t really an issue for me anymore. Believing you can make progress too. 💕

[@hollylockman9363]

What do you do for your brain fog?

[@MandyMeehan]

Treating my toxicity / viral issues have made a big difference, but acutely I use essential oils.

[@hollylockman9363]

Mandy Meehan can you tel me what toxicity issues you had and how u treated? Also what eo you use?

[@MandyMeehan]

Mold / chemical toxicity. Mold issues are really common in people with CFS. Getting out of a moldy environment is crucial. I would recommend working with a practitioner for the actual treatment. 💜

[@sz2897]

@@MandyMeehan When you did DNRS, did you also work with a ND at the same time to detox? I read that its better to not add supplements along with DNRS? Also, did you suffer from depersonalization as well along with the brain fog?

[@thesoundunit]

Wow teeth!
