Brooke’s fascinating improvements and life changes with RA

 

• Brooke was diagnosed with RA and the following week she found she was pregnant with her second child
• About one month after her daughter was born, suddenly pain struck her, she struggled to walk and her hands felt like they were frozen
• The rheumatologist told her to stop breastfeeding her daughter and take methotrexate
• Eventually she started with Plaquenil and kept on breastfeeding
• Convinced she could do more to ease the pain, she started searching and found Clint's TEDx talk.
• She started the Paddison Program, with some slight changes due to her breastfeeding
• Results were encouraging, and along the way she started doing Yoga and getting benefits from it
• Brooke is now a Yoga teacher and has turned her diagnosis into a profession
• His husband has always been fully supportive, and they are opening a Whole Food vegan cafe together!
