EPISODE #53 - Krista Watson: Healing from Crohn's & a Brain Tumour
Sunday, 17 November, 2019
In episode #53, Joanne speaks with her friend, Krista Watson. Krista has had an incredible health journey and shares: Her lifelong battle with digestive issues, leading to a diagnosis of Crohn's & Colitis in 2012. How despite heavy medication, her condition worsened and in 2013 she underwent surgery to remove over 3 ft of her bowel. What she was feeling after the surgery failed within 3 months & her Crohn's flared (resulting in her being put on even heavier drugs with more intense side effects.) As if extreme digestive issues weren't enough, Krista shares how her health began to further deteriorate as she simultaneously began to experience debilitating headaches, confusion & an inability to think + perform daily tasks. The day in January, 2017 when she was formally diagnosed with a brain tumour. What it's like to undergo brain surgery & how the diagnosis was the wake up call she needed in order to take responsibility + control of her health. The many lifestyle & dietary changes Krista made along her road to recovery. The importance of having a strong support system & how her husband, Darren + the backing of family/friends was instrumental in her healing journey. The unexpected benefits of changing her lifestyle, including weight loss (which was never the initial goal.) Krista and her husband have now EACH lost over 120 lbs! This is a super inspiring episode & you'll love hearing Krista's full story of healing & transformation!
