Namrata SinghGuest
I'm so excited to welcome you to The Arthritis Life Podcast, where we share arthritis life stories and tips for thriving with autoimmune arthritis.
My name is Cheryl Crow, and I am passionate about helping people navigate real life with arthritis beyond joint pain.
I've been living with rheumatoid arthritis for 20 years, and I'm also a mom, occupational therapist, video creator, support group leader, and I created the Room to Thrive self-management program.
We're gonna cover everything from kitchen life hacks to navigating the healthcare system, to coping with friends who just don't get it.
My interviewees and I share our honest stories of how chronic illness affects our lives.
This includes discussions about mental health, sex, shame, pregnancy, body image, advocacy, self-acceptance, and so much more.
You'll hear stories from all ends of the spectrum, from a person who's living in medicated remission from psoriatic arthritis, to somebody living with severe mobility restrictions and severe pain from rheumatoid arthritis.
You'll hear how people manage their conditions in different ways, like medications, mindfulness, movement, social support, work accommodations, and so much more.
We'll dive deep into the science behind chronic pain and what's the latest evidence for lifestyle changes that can help you thrive with arthritis, including exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress reduction, and more.
