Healing Mindset: Your Untapped Superpower with Eileen Laird

Mindset is like the gatekeeper to your healing journey. If you are in a stuck mindset, it’s difficult even to begin to heal and start feeling better. A healing diet and lifestyle, without a healing mindset, does not address the whole picture. That’s why I’m so happy to explore this topic with a very special guest: Eileen Laird of Phoenix Helix, and the Phoenix Helix Podcast. 

Eileen’s new book, Healing Mindset: A Guide to the Mind-Body Connection for People with Autoimmune Disease, gives us practical ways to cultivate a healing mindset, in a collection of over 96 techniques we can discover, learn about, and apply as needed. 

If you’re ready to harness the life-changing power of the mind-body connection, or simply deepen your practice with Healing Mindset techniques, this episode of Thyroid-healthy Bites is for you.
