Living well with MS, Hashimoto’s and celiac: Interview with Yael Goodman, author of “Taking Control: My journey to reverse autoimmune disease.”

February 17, 2017 // by Kerry Jeffery// Leave a Comment

I was blessed to receive a review copy of Yael Goodman’s wonderful book “Taking Control: my journey to reversing autoimmune disease” and absolutely loved it. So it was such a great pleasure to meet and talk to Yael all the way in Johannesburg to hear first hand about her journey living with undiagnosed autoimmune disease since she was 5 years old.

Yael is a true autoimmune warrior women and reading about her life, I have no idea how I would have managed against all the odds she faced and is triumphing over. She is incredibly inspiring, very informed and an all round delight.

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. You can find out more about Yael and where to get her book from Amazon here:

I know exactly how much chronic illness changes your life because I live with Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto’s, Celiac Disease and Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

When I was first diagnosed with chronic illness, there was no information about how to deal with the grief of losing my old life and the future I thought that I was going to have.

There was a huge gap that needed to be filled to help people with chronic illness take back control of their life, health and happiness by giving them the emotional skills, support and mind shift tools to deal with the changes and challenges.

This is why I created Emotional Autoimmunity. To help fill that gap and let you know that you are not alone.

Take your time exploring here.

There are blog posts, podcasts, information and inspiration designed to help you feel understood, validated and supported.

“Instead of trying to medicate the problem away or shrug issues off (like the traditional therapist/counsellor/psychiatrists I’ve encountered in the past) you helped me get to the very roots of my anxieties, fears and PTSD.

I do not have that last bit of yearning to be how I used to be, because the future has much more beautiful things in store, and my past is what built me to what I am today.

Thank you for everything Kerry, I truly appreciate all you have done to help me reduce my stress and anxiety and get to the root of everything!” Samantha
