Welcome to another episode of Gut Heroes! In this episode, I dive into some of the strangest things I do to manage my autoimmune disease. I share my personal insights and experiences using some 'unconventional' approaches that have helped me manage ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but can also be helpful for anyone dealing with a chronic health condition.

This includes:

✔️ Making my own natural skin cream ✔️ Using beef tallow soap to stop skin irritation ✔️ Following a no-starch, no-dairy diet ✔️ Incorporating specific oils like olive oil and avocado oil ✔️ Using fasting for flare management and overall health ✔️ Taking cold showers to beat inflammation ✔️ Using apple cider vinegar for gut health ✔️ Supplementing with magnesium ✔️ Experimenting with a "Bed of Nails" for back pain relief

I explore how these seemingly strange practices have become valuable tools in my AS management toolkit. I also look at how small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements over time. The benefits of challenging our bodies beyond constant comfort and the need for personalised approaches in managing autoimmune disease.
