From Disability to Dance: How Krista Rowan learned to Love Herself Moving

<p>In January 2000, Krista was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis; a debilitating autoimmune disease affecting her joints, tissues, skin and organs.  Having experienced chronic pain, disability, stress, depression, isolation and hopelessness for years, she relates deeply to the fear and impact to all facets of life when health is deteriorated.</p><p>In 2015, Krista began addressing root cause drivers of her inflammation and disease, which not only dramatically improved her quality of life, but led her to become a speaker and certified coach. Today, Krista is on a reMISSION to inspire and empower others to improve their own health and quality of life.</p><p>Cheryl Crow is an occupational therapist who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis for seventeen years. Her life passion is helping others with rheumatoid arthritis figure out how to live a full life despite arthritis, by developing tools to navigate physical, emotional and social challenges. She formed the educational company Arthritis Life in 2019 after seeing a huge need for more engaging, accessible, and (dare I say) FUN patient education and self-management resources. </p><p><strong>Links to things discussed in the podcast episode:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://instagram.com/kickra18" target="_blank">Krista’s Instagram: @kickra18 </a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kickra18" target="_blank">Tiktok: @kickra18 </a></li><li>Krista's Website: <a href="http://alivetoliving.com/">alivetoliving.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/arthritislifepodcastandsupport">Cheryl’s Facebook group</a>: Arthritis Life Podcast, Practical Tips & Positive, Realistic Support</li><li>Cheryl’s Free Handout: <a href="https://thoughtful-experimenter-636.ck.page/d7fceeea9a">Cheryl’s Master Checklist for Managing RA</a></li><li>This episode is brought to you by the <a href="https://arthritis.theenthusiasticlife.com/beginners-guide-to-life-with-rheumatoid-arthritis/">Rheumatoid Arthritis Roadma</a>p, an online education and support program Cheryl crea
