Are you an empath? How about an empath with chronic illness?
.
Let me explain how these can be related…
.
- If empaths don’t get enough time alone to recharge, they will likely experience chronic fatigue + exhaustion
- Too much stimulus during the day will prevent an empath from falling asleep at night, which can lead to sleep issues, which we know is correlated to illness + stress
- The standard 9-5 job can be super exhausting for an empath, since there is constant energy + often stress in their environment
- When an empath feels another person’s energy it can send the empath into fight or flight (survival) mode which releases cortisol, stops digestion, shortens breath, and constricts blood flow
- Empaths are prone to emotional eating when they are unsure of how to manage the immense energy they feel and if they have a lack of boundaries
- Empaths often get prescribed anti anxiety drugs or anti depressants which destroy the gut
.
If an empath doesn’t have awareness of their energy and strong boundaries, their energy gets used up, burned out, and the body reacts on a physical level. It may have started with fatigue or pain, but after years of ignoring these symptoms, it leads to bigger issues likes IBS, lupus, hashimoto’s, and more.
.
This is something I am deeply passionate about. I think we need to draw more attention to this connection and then give all empaths the tools they need to manage their energy.
.
If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to share below!

PS- I have 3 healing client spots opening up this month for those of you seeking support! Book your free discovery call to see if it’s a good fit for you.
Welcome to Lupus Awareness Month with the Lupus Research Alliance!
Our theme for the month is “Breaking through for Lupus Research: 20 Years of Progress” — particularly apt for the number one private funder of lupus research in the world. Over the past 20 years, the work we have supported has contributed to every major breakthrough in lupus to date. Throughout Lupus Awareness Month, we will feature how each important development that your support made possible is transforming lupus treatment.

Lupus was first described during the 13th century by Rogerius, a physician who named the disease using the Latin term for “wolf”, since the erosive facial lesions looked like a wolf bite. Kaposi and Osler were the first physicians who recognised systemic involvement including fever, weight loss, arthritis and anaemia. It was classified as an #autoimmunedisease until 1851. .
.
The term erythematous is derived from the Greek “erythro”, meaning red ⭕️. The main reason a “last name” was added was in order to differentiate the condition from lupus vulgaris, better known as chronic cutaneous #tuberculosis .
.
Lupus erythematous (LE) cells were described from stem cells of SLE patients during 1948. This became the first “diagnostic test” though, not all lupus patients have these cells. The anti- DNA antibodies , which are considered the “gold standard” for diagnosis, were discovered in 1959. .
.
One of the first treatments for lupus included the administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) during the 1950’s. Later corticosteroids were introduced as the treatment of choice, improving a 5- year survival from 7% to 70%!!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE? .
.
Posteriorly, immunosuppressive drugs were added to the treatment equation and helped dramatically by controlling the disease and minimising the use of corticosteroids and their side effects. Advances in treatment during the past decades include using targeted biological therapies (monoclonal antibodies such as Rituximab and Belimumab)... hopefully we’ll have more options during the next years. It’s lupus awareness month so spread the word. .

Dear Lupus Warriors this month is dedicated to us! Our experiences, our stories, our setbacks, our triumphs, our healing processes With that being said, I have something exciting to share with you. I have been working on a project for a long while now and I want you to join me in FINDING YOUR NEW NORMAL WITH LUPUS
It’s an in-depth course in the ways that we can redefine our lifestyles with our diagnosis...it covers these topics: - Nutrition Management: as a way to at least ease your symptoms (verified by food scientists and homeopaths)
- Mental Health Awareness: confronting and managing anxiety and depression (scientific research supports this)
- Financial Freedom: allowing you to create an income for yourself...on your own terms, in your own schedule (using one of the worlds best platforms for you to create an online course). Have I said too much? I’m not sure what you may be thinking right now. What I do I know is that I had enough of feeling that this condition was slowly taking over EVERY aspect of my life until I tried this.
Lupus has taken so much away from us but it can’t take away our emotional health, our finances or our lifestyle management. There is a way to live in harmony with this very strange illness that millions of us share.
Cheers to celebrating YOU for getting through each day **Please sign up to be the first to be notified when the course launches** Zola x

#lupusawarenessmonth is a time for us to shed light on the disease that makes us all the same, yet different. It’s a time to be vocal, a time to learn, and a time to uplift.
Though many of us struggle daily with lupus, our stories and experiences are all unique.
This year, we wanted to deliver something like never before.
We’re sharing with you the stories of lupies all around the world!!!! We hope that as you read their stories, you’ll appreciate the vulnerability and strength it takes to share with complete strangers.
As you read, read “with love” LUPUS AWARENESS MONTH
