Hello and welcome to my podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s podcast episode, I speak with Karsyn Sprague about how mysterious health issues impact mental health.
I’m Desiree, a Mental Health Therapist that is passionate about helping people improve their mental health and live a healthy and fulfilled life. One way I do this is by interviewing experts in the field of mental health and wellness as well as those that share their first hand accounts with their mental health journeys. In this podcast episode, we will hear from Karsyn about her health journey and how it inspired her to help others going through mysterious health issues with nowhere to turn.
Eight years ago, Karsyn Sprague began experiencing bizarre symptoms. The laundry list is longer than what Karsyn can recall but she does remember her more prominent symptoms such as brain fog, joint pain, swelling, extreme fatigue, numbness in her extremities, tingling throughout her body, her extremities falling asleep often, frequent eye issues like eye floaters and auras, migraines, tinnitus, welts and hives all over her body, and heart palpitations. She was going from doctor to doctor to specialist, spending thousands of dollars only to be medically gaslit. Doctors made her believe it was in her head or told her the symptoms would go away on their own.
With no answers or diagnosis in sight, Karsyn knew she needed to take her health and healing into her own hands. Now, years later, Karsyn is symptom free. Along her journey, Karsyn met others that were experiencing the same thing- mysterious health issues and nowhere to turn. Karsyn stumbled upon her calling, to help others going through the same thing she went through. Now, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Health Coach, Karsyn is the proud founder of Remedy Roadmap, where she helps guide people through their mysterious health issue and those who cant find answers and can’t find healing.
In our conversation, Karsyn explains the negative impact health issues can have on your mental health. Health issues, especially chronic or undiagnosed health issues, and medical gaslighting can all lead to anxiety and depression. Karsyn explains that having health issues causes a lot of stress in all different areas of your life but that chronic stress greatly impacts health and makes symptoms worse.
Karsyn discusses the foundational underlying pillars of health and healing. This is a must listen for those that are struggling with chronic illness and undiagnosed mysterious health issues. Karysn’s story is one of inspiration, hope, and finding purpose and meaning through pain and struggle. Listen to Karsyn’s story to learn how you can take your health into your own hands and heal physcially, mentally, and emotionally.
