Check out Dr. Eleanor Stein MD FRCP(C)’s Bio:
I am both a person with lived experience and a health care professional. I became ill with ME/CFS, FM, and MCS in 1989 during my second year of psychiatry residency. Subsequently, I have been diagnosed with several related conditions, including Lyme disease, orthostatic intolerance, joint hypermobility, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. As a result of my illness experience and the lack of available medical care, I decided to devote my life to learning more so I could help myself and others. I didn't have a lot of hope of recovery, but I kept putting one foot in front of the next. I tried everything I could access from both conventional and integrative treatments. For the first 27 years, nothing led to substantive or lasting change. Then, in 2017, my health improved substantially, and I have been able to return to many of the activities I love, like traveling to beautiful nature locations. Surprisingly, the things I was doing at the time of my recovery were all low-tech: sleep strategies, diet change, pacing, using neuroplasticity to rewire my brain, and actively looking for hope - no injections, experimental supplement protocols, or off-label drugs. From this, I deduced that there is more hope of recovery than I had thought during the years of chasing a biomedical cure. I started reading the literature on the impact of "lifestyle modification" and have found extensive evidence that the choices we make every day impact our biology. We have much more power than we think. I am retiring from medical practice at the end of 2022 to move online and share what I have learned about how to heal from chronic, complex diseases using inexpensive, accessible, safe lifestyle modification tools.

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the most wonderful fine version of themselves.
Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
