Carrie Ann Inabawill never forget the day she was first diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases.

“And the pain wouldn’t stop.”

Both lupus and Sjogren’s Syndrome continually cause excess amounts of inflammation throughout Inaba’s body.

Her psychiatrist recommended she “find 20 foods that you love and love you back,” she explained.

“He said something to me once that is helpful for everybody,” Inaba said.

“Question your own thoughts.”

“When we release them onto the page, our body no longer has to store them.

That helps to reduce levels of inflammation.”

Though chronic illness may affect her body physically, brain health has produced a big effect in her healing.

Rephrasing her thoughts and expelling negative emotions is what has helped keep Inaba on track.

“It’s the law of abundance and the law of attraction.”
