Have you ever caught yourself dwelling on what your health challenges have taken from you? It’s natural. I’ve been there, too. Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) isn’t easy—but as I reflect on my journey, I’ve realized something powerful: what RA has taken from me pales in comparison to what it’s given me. My story may surprise you, and I hope it inspires you to look beyond the pain to find the strength, wisdom, and resilience within. This isn’t just about RA—it’s about embracing whatever life throws at us and learning to thrive in spite of it. Stay tuned and discover how challenges can shape us, empower us, and remind us of our true strength.

In this episode you’ll learn:

⏰ 01:00 - Introduction

⏰ 01:52 - What inspired me to make this episode

⏰ 06:43 - The problem with “support” groups

⏰ 10:43 - Five things rheumatoid arthritis has taken from me

⏰ 22:43 - How my life is different now

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 best 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.

Michael Roesslein is the founder of Rebel Health, a platform which has been producing top-quality health educational content for over a decade, and Anima Somatic Self-Discovery, his new platform which will focus on the deeper layers of healing - such as safe trauma release, somatic practices, nervous system regulation, breathwork, meditation and compassionate self-inquiry. He holds a Masters’s Degree in Exercise Science & Health Promotion, is a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach, has completed the 2-year training at the Luminous Awareness Institute, Dr. Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry training, and is a certified facilitator of Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release. Michael's journey has been one of deepening levels of healing & transformation from fitness to nutrition to functional health coaching, and now into the world of mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic well-being. This was not only born out of natural curiosity, but out of necessity, as Michael has suffered from severe depression and anxiety for most of his life, along with significant ADD/ADHD all of which led to self-medication, unhealthy and dangerous coping and avoidance tactics, and on several occasions, suicidal ideations. By applying what he has learned over the last 15 years in many advanced training programs, along with mentorships under several practitioners across the full spectrum of healing, Michael has been able to experience radical improvements in quality of life and resilience during difficult times. Originally from the Chicago area, Michael now lives in Lucca, Italy, with his wife, Mira, and young son, Elio.
