The Anxious and Sick Merry-Go-Round with Kimberly Vucurovic
Health & Wellbeing Podcast #25
After almost a year, I finally bring to you another podcast episode. 2017 has been a big year for me in many ways: Clinic has been busy, I have been working as a lecturer at Endeavour College of Natural Health and also being a Mum. This has all meant that podcast creation has been put on the back burner. But I return with a wonderful episode for you, The Anxious and Sick Merry-Go-Round.
Some of you may feel frustrated, if you feel like you are doing all the right things but your health issues don’t seem to be resolving. Every one of you are individuals and have individual reasons for why you are stuck. However, if you suffer from a tendency to be anxious this may be the reason you aren’t resolving your health issues. Research shows that if you have anxiety you are highly likely to also have thyroid disease, respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, arthritis, migraine headaches and allergic conditions.
I’ve invited my next guest to talk to you about the link between anxiety and health issues. Kimberly Charlotte Vucurovic is a psychology trained clinical naturopath who specialises in treating anxiety related health issues. She has worked in the field of natural medicine for 18 years. She runs a busy practice, is an academic lecturer at Endeavour College of Natural Health and is continuing her research by currently completing an Honours in Psychology.
I feel this episode may be an ‘A-ha!’ moment for many people, allowing you to connect the pieces of your health together by understanding the way that anxiety and stress can feed into other health issues, and be fed by other health issues. (And of course, we couldn’t get through an episode without talking about gut health 😉 )
