Autoimmune Diseases and Plato

Written By Emma Alexander-Cook

Do you agree with Plato?

Do you agree with Plato?

‘The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated.’ Plato.

I wrote on my Live Free Love Life website back in March 2021 the following:

Has a doctor ever spoken to you at length about you? Have they suggested that your disease needs to be treated by more than just medicine? My experience overall has left me with the feeling that they were always trying to solve the symptoms of my autoimmune diseases and not get at the route of the problem.

As a Health Coach, I talk to someone about their health, wellness, goals and life. I see the person as a whole and feel that our work complements the Doctor’s visit that is often a necessity. I believe in teaching people about Health. What it means to them, and their body and their life and help them become an advocate for their own health and wellness.

As an Individual I know myself better than a Doctor does. They can read the charts and tell me what is wrong but they cannot feel what I am feeling, or experience what I am experiencing. I know what nourishes my body and my soul and over time I have learnt what works for me and my autoimmune diseases and what causes the flares.

Do you believe that we need physicians for the body and soul?

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
