Psoriasis FDA Meeting
After screen grabbing my FDA testimony from the hearing held on stem cells, I went back to the Patient-Focused Drug Development for Psoriasis (held by the FDA on March 17th, 2017) to grab a video of my public comment. The quality isn’t the greatest, but you can hear what I said! I just realized I …
Psoriatic Arthritis Interview With Dr. Feldman and Christina
In August, I basically had no energy whatsoever and spent the majority of the month in pain. (Read more about my flare up here) In September, I traveled for almost 3 weeks straight. It was a CRAZY month for me. I can’t lie – I was really worried about how my body would hold up. …

FDA Stem Cell Hearing
(Impatient and don’t want to read the whole post? Just scroll all the way to the bottom to watch the video!) Sometimes I find myself in situations and think, “How the hell did you get here Julie?” Seriously. I mean, to be speaking at an FDA hearing on stem cells? And then I think . …
Health Update: Psoriatic Arthritis Flare Up
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about my psoriatic arthritis. Mostly because I had been doing so well – I didn’t really have anything that I needed to update you on. But, I have a confession to make. It’s pretty hard for me to say this, but the last few months have been rough. Rough enough that …
Show More Of You
Oh the Olympics. Growing up, I remember watching swim meets, gymnastic competitions and figure skating routines with my Mom. But, if I’m honest, I can’t say I was ever fully into the Olympics. They were entertaining for the moment, but they came and went and were just a small blip on my radar. That is …

Within this post, you’ll find a video sequence of a simple 25 minute practice as well as HealthCentral posts that I’ve written depicting each posture. …
Tips For Transitioning From Disability Back Into The Working World
After over 3 1/2 years of being on disability leave, this past March I began to transition back into the working world officially. Prior to my disability leave, my work schedule was crazy!

One Year Regenexx Celebration + Platelets Procedure
A year ago, I couldn’t walk without crutches. A year ago, I was in so much pain that I truly was starting to believe that it’d never go away. A year ago, I had to pace myself in everything that I did. A year ago, I just wanted to be “normal” and walk… and perhaps …

How My Diet Has Evolved Over The Years
A lot of people say they could never stay on the diet I have to because it’d be too hard. Many people say, “oh you have to live life a little!”, “Just eat a cupcake” or “enjoy yourself”. . . But it’s not that simple. Whenever I go out to eat, hell ya I’d rather …
