The Chronic Comeback
Breaking the Cycle of Chronic Illness: Hyper-vigilance, Perfectionism, and the Road to Healing with Dr Natalie Scheeler
Today I’m joined by Dr. Natalie, a naturopathic doctor specializing in gut health, joins us to explore the deep connection between the gut and brain, how hypervigilance and perfectionism can actually slow down healing, and why small, sustainable wins are the key to long-term progress.
We also discuss:

- How hypervigilance around symptoms creates a cycle of stress
- Perfectionism in treatment—when “doing everything right” becomes the problem
- The importance of foundational health habits (sleep, movement, and mindset)
- How to cultivate hope and make progress, even when healing feels impossible
