Special Podcast on Long-term Pain Management
Pain, what a pain pain is. Carol has had several life events that triggered long-term pain. It has been a lot for one person. That she is remarkably outgoing, positive and smiling speaks to what she has learned so tricks and approaches to living with pain, even overcoming it enough that she can live a life, laugh often and engage the world.
This is a conversation you can apply to your pain now.
Carol Pedersen:
I was born and raised in Calgary. I grew up in an environment of sexual and emotional abuse. I survived Ovarian Cancer at the age of 20. I had 11 more abdominal surgeries to remove scar tissue and adhesions. I was on Morphine for 20 years to manage my pain; it was a living death. I have lived with debilitating illness and severe chronic pain for over 30 years.

In my youth, I was a ballroom dancer and Ice dancer. I became a hairdresser at 18. In my 30's, I went back to school and earned my legal secretarial degree.

At 50, I chose natural methods to combat my pain and CBD cannabis oil was my miracle. I was doing well, getting my life back. Then in 2020, I was sexually assaulted, which derailed my recovery and left me with permanent damage.

I have endured decades of severe chronic pain and illness, which will limit me for the rest of my life. No matter how many challenges I encounter, I conquer them with a never give up attitude. I face each day with gratitude, humour, courage, faith, love, compassion, happiness, joy, a positive attitude, a strong mindset, hope, and strength. God built me into a warrior.

I have been so blessed with so many gifts in my life. Mark Laurie, and my photoshoot with him was one of them. It changed my life. It helped me to remove years of trauma and shame.

I hope by sharing my story I can help others out the darkness I was trapped in for so many years.

Hi, this is a very interesting conversation with Megan. She talks about how a chance encounter with a man changed her life 180 degrees instantly and how her youngest daughter's health issue changed her life direction again. She talks about two women, complete opposites in most ways; role models gave her a template on how to shape her own character.
There is a rare gem on building life long friendships.
Megan brings such enthusiasm and insights to our conversation. I think you will really enjoy listening in on our chat.
About Megan Barefoot:
Megan graduated with a BSc. in Science from the University of Windsor and worked in downtown Calgary as a professional geologist for over ten years.
After having children, she discovered the power of nutrition to get herself and her family to optimal health. She attended and graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, where she learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques and over 100 dietary theories. She also studied at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, the most established science-based Canadian natural health school, where she learned to connect the symptoms experienced to the systems of the body and then balance the systems through whole foods to help clients achieve their health goals.
Megan was fortunate to train with Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride to become a Certified Gut and Psychology Syndrome Practitioner. While studying and working with clients to change their intestinal health, Megan has become passionate about all foods that feed the microbiome and loves to introduce clients to “gut goodies”.
As a nutrition expert, mom and seasoned practitioner, Megan knows how difficult eating ‘healthy’ can be in real life. Megan strives to make the process of learning how to feed you and your body’s needs as simple as possible with small changes that make a BIG impact. When you start working with Megan at No Shoes Nutrition, she will do a full nutritional assessment and ask you question after question to learn as much as possible to get to the root of what might be holding you back from reaching your health and wellness goals.
