The Vital Side Podcast 62. “Is this real life?” Lori Weir’s Wild Healing Journey, Recovering fromMCAS, POTS, and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, and inundated by ANOTHER detox remedy in your healing journey? Lindsay is joined this week by Vital-Sider, Lori Weir, who discusses what it was like after being diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Post Orthostatic Hypotension (POTS), and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Lori also details what led her to find the Rewire community and begin brain-retraining. She describes some of her major transformational moments - going from being hospitalized with intense adrenaline surges to today, riding roller coasters at Disneyland with her 3 children and husband.
Lori Weir has a background in psychology, but it wasn’t until she and her children began to suffer from chronic conditions that she discovered just how important the nervous system was to her healing. She has been in the holistic health world for nearly 10 years She credits brain-retraining as being the missing piece to her healing puzzle. She is passionate about sharing her story and helping others see their own capability for self-healing. In 2022, she started partaking in community group sessions in Vital-Side Ed and taking her retraining journey to the next level in Elevate: Brain Retraining 2.0. Lori now works as the Vital-Side Community Manager, and she shares her story of healing with thousands of members on the Vital-Side Network and has reconnected with herself and her health in a massive way.
