Lisa - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)
• 58 minTrigger warning: This episode touches on distorted eating. If it is triggering for you, please chat to your doctor. This week’s guest is Lisa aka @livesimplyaus, who deals with multiple chemical sensitivity and multiple food intolerances. Her story is the craziest one of the season. No joke. She’s spent her entire life struggling to find foods she could tolerate and never had a nice bathroom experience until she got to her 30’s. At one point Lisa was so severely underweight, at just a bit over 30kg’s, she was hospitalised, it was dismissed as anorexia. Little did everyone know, she had multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) as well as quite a few other crazy internal things going on. Chemical sensitivity affects 1 in 5 (18.9%) of Australians, with more than one-third (6.5%) medically diagnosed with MSC. It’s a serious disease that is often caused and worsened by exposure to pesticides, solvents, new building materials and fragranced items. Even low-level exposure can inflict a range of adverse health effects such as migraines, breathing difficulties, cognitive impairment, seizures and asthma attacks. This interview will make your jaw drop, and also have so much admiration for Lisa. She hasn’t been able to work full time for years and is now on a path to healing. If you think you have MCS, book an appointment with a health care specialist before self-diagnosing.
