My name is Nina and I am a certified life coach. I have my CPC and am also certified as an ELI-MP - which means I am qualified to administer Energy Leadership Index Assessments, a popular tool both in the corporate world and for personal development. You can find many videos on my channel with more information on the ELI.
I also like to open up here about the things that I am personally working through and looking to grow in.
In 2022 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease - a chronic autoimmune illness - and I left an abusive relationship. This lead me down a path of self discovery, coming to terms with my people pleasing, dealing with my high sensitivity, and working on my boundary wounds. I have a real passion for serving life coaching clients who are looking for support in these same areas.

No one should be expected to have to work through these things alone 🌻

Which country are you from? And what is the cost mam??
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I believe Crohns Disease patients make great life coaches due to the adversity the illness gives us. I'm glad your doing so much better 💜
Great info.
Thank you for your update.
Crohns since 2008-9. I got your back on all emotions and understanding on this life we walk in
I've walked in the shoe's you beginning with Crohns. So true in what you said in this video. Wonderful job.
I am starting Skyrizi for my Crohns Disease in a week and I’ve been feeling really uncertain and anxious about starting it, your videos have completely put me at ease and made me feel less alone and isolated as I am also a young woman trying to get control of my disease. Thank you so much for your candid, honest and non-fear-mongering documentation of your experience. You are brave and I will be thinking of these videos when I have my first infusion. Thank you❤
That warms my heart 💖 hot girls unite!
Best of luck! Biologics are hopeful. Colitis since 2012.
Glad to hear Skyrizi isn’t giving any miserable side effects. I’m waiting for insurance to an authorize. Holistic medicine is good for a lot of things. Keep pursuing this topic for Chrone’s/Colitis. Also for mental health. Gut health/mental health. Good luck!
May I ask ? are you cancer rising?
Thank you!
I recognized the voice from the skyrizi video, I watched that too for my OBI last week! lol! Didn’t hurt until I took it off. Also was noticing some symptoms in the week leading up to the injection and even some days after. Have to manage stress.
Never let tummy issues stop you from having a #HotGirlSummer
You can never stop a hot girl from hotgirling!
Thank you so much for this, I am currently going through the process of getting diagnosed and I find it really helpful to hear other people's experiences. I have been having symptoms for many years but I always assumed it was IBS. In the past year it has gotten a lot worse so after months of putting it off, I finally went to the doctors last week. My calprotectin level came back 1300, so that's not good. I'm quite nervous about what's to come, but I guess things can only get better with a proper diagnosis and a treatment plan..
the toxic part felt very real. i feel like ive always dealt with people that blamed me for the mean things they did and at some point its easy to start believing its true and getting away from that thought is difficult especially if no one believes whats happening to you or youre unlucky in the way that you only find people who agree that its your fault. came here after watching almost all your astrology videos and needing more similar content and i did really learned from this video.thanks
I just started Skyrizi too! I had my first infusion last week and I had a rather weird possible reaction in that my lips started tingling. They’re going to continue to see what happens. It completely wiped me out though, I came home and slept the rest of the day and was pretty off kilter the next day too. I’ve had Crohn’s since I was 9 and I actually had surgery to have an ostomy placed 9 years ago and I’d been in remission since then..this is my first time getting meds again! I’ve had more extra manifestations than Crohn’s issues which led me to put me on it…some tummy aches but tons of debilitating joint pain and skin issues. I’m hopeful it helps!
I’m on Skyrizi, and it’s worked so great. I just had an ileostomy surgery April 2, 2024 and my surgeon said my bowels looks amazing. Love this medicine. Hope it works for you. Praying fora great output.
Thank you Nina, i would love to hear more about your journey with this. Going to check out part 2. Sending you lots of love and warm hugs!
I’m starting skyrizi once insurance approves it and I’m super nervous. I couldn’t tolerate entyvio very well and I’m super anxious ab trying another biologic but this video gives me a lot of confidence and hope. I hope this medicine is the right fit for me💞I truly believe you kinda have to keep trying out meds until you find the right one.✨
Have you gained weight on your medication.
I start Remicade tomorrow and Azeothioprine the day after, and I have been filled with anxiety
Thank you for sharing this! It resonates a lot with me unfortunately
Just went to a functional/ integrative medicine doctor yesterday and they wanted me to complete a 9 month protocol, I was all in until they handed me the cost breakdown that totaled $18,500.00
I'm on Skyrizi also I'm on a every 8 weeks home on body injector. My crohn's symptoms come and go more good days than bad. My energy levels have not came back. Since I started Skyrizi I've gained weight more than 50 lbs. I've developed Fatty liver disease. Depression and anxiety has gone crazy since they journey has started. Probably a major factor of the weight gain. In the past few weeks I've been trying to get out and walk if I have time energy.
Omg i sm sorry to hear of your weight gain. Will you continue to stay on it if your weight continues to go up and up?. I gained weight on both entyvio and remicade. I wont be going on anymore biologics as i dont want to become obese and have an heart attack stroke etc.
@MissMarceline-wp6oq I'm not sure tomorrow morning I have a colonoscopy. Beginning of June I have an appointment with my G.I. to see what the next steps are going to be
I HAVE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH PROBLEMS LIKE YOU. As I'm listening to you speak more about your illness and health Im like this exactly me right now. Just really unsure and confused as to what i should be eating or what sort of treatment i should go through . I have been experiencing issues very similar to you since like 5 years, I have symptoms like fatigue, mood issues like anxiety, depression ,constipation(more so due to inflammed colon), just pain in the gut after eating anything burning sort of sensation throughout my gut which makes me really tired and fatigued. Did an endoscopy i had apthous ulcer in the terminal illeum just like you that you had mentioned more about in your other video. The biopsy also showed i had chronic colitis but since i dont have any sort of ulcers or aggresive inflammed tissues that can be seen in a colonoscopy my GI just diagnosed and he believes that i have IBS. Now these symptoms i have is completely debilitating i think you mentioned you had like migraine like issues for me i also experience headaches its more like swelling and i have swelling of nasal tissues hindering my breathing just really weird issues. Watching your video made me feel that im not alone and gave me hope that everything might turn out to be good. So thank you for sharing your story and i hope everything sorts out for you and become well soon. And also i was just wondering is there any safe foods for you that is working and not causing any symptoms?
I love how you describe being hungry! I’m just starting to feel that too, like who knew food could FIX that feeling?
I don’t think that’s true that it’s more difficult for humans to process meat, but we are allowed to believe and follow whatever diet we want to! I also have crohns and have had those other symptoms (eczema, chostochondritis, joint pain, dry eyes, skin issues, etc) this disease is a bear!! Found your channel because I’m starting Skyrizi and you posted a video about it. Your experience gives me hope about getting my energy back!!
I take a vitamin L-Lysine which helps with cold sores due to my Lupus. You should look into it if your interested. It may also help with dry eyes but not 100% sure on that. I'm finding your videos very helpful.
I take valtrex for suppressive therapy, it’s FDA approved for purpose. After my first skyrizi loading dose I had 5 cold sores at one time on my nose!
Thank you for exposing the lies.
I’ve had Crohn’s for 24 years. Been on nearly every med they have including 3 surgeries. None have worked to bring relief for long. The rinvoq I was on cost $240k a year. Humira was $72k. I forgot how much the stelara was. Starting skyrizi soon.. It disheartening knowing someone on the opposite end is getting rich off the suffering of people like us. Not much we can do about it.
Glad it's working. I'm also getting on skyrizi. The doctor suggested stelara but I wanted my rizz to be sky high so we went with skyrizi. In order for me to get on it my TB tests have to come back negative so i'm hoping for the best. Also getting on a gluten and dairy free diet has helped me tremendously. I would suggest. It's hard but it makes me feel better.
Omg completely forgot to warn everyone about the biggest side effect with skyrizi. It boosts your rizz levels sky high!
@@coachninab yes haha. In all seriousness I hope everything works out for you
This is another great video. I am going to get on Skyrizzi after the 1st of the year. I have been on Remicade and 6mp for about a year and a half. Please keep us informed about how this works for you in the long term. The combination treatment works great for me but the risk of developing certain cancers is problematic.
good luck with everything.
Best of luck on the switch! The skyrizzi infusions will be much faster than remicade 🙌🏼
Thank you for this. I have ulcerative colitis and have been going through a tough time. I'm so thankful to hear that there are people out there who are going through a similar situation. 🙏
Thanks for this video. How are you feeling now? :) I’ve been through the wringer with meditations and my doctor wants me to start this one.
I’ve been feeling great! Running into some challenges with being immunocompromised and realizing the importance of self care, but continuing to feel improvement with my symptoms. Just filmed an update that should be up soon!
Do you do one on one coaching?
Or do you record lecture that we just watch.
Hi Eli! Yes I offer one on one coaching. You can visit my website ninabcoaching.com to book a free discovery call or an ELI assessment and debrief ✨
Also my name is Eli which is kindve cool because your a certified Eli. Lol. I was on humira but got off of it and didn’t take enough care of my diet. Got sent to an ER where they prescribed me prednisone. I think that is what caused the abscess, but hopefully they will let me get on skyrizi
Oof, I hope you feel better!
I got diagnosed at 12. Had 24 inches of my small intestine removed before my freshmen year of high school in 2016. As of right now they found an abscess and a perforated bowel. Currently Trying to get rid of the abscess with antibiotics to avoid surgery but I’ve noticed that juicing has helped so much with my digestion compared to meats. I’m glad I found your channel
I just started it yesterday hoping for the best thank you for the video
Thank you for sharing. I just finished my 3rd skyrizi infusion today.
Great video - very, very human. Love the issue with the name of the disease - I feel you. Has a terrible visual associated with it right? Would love to hear more about the diet as the channel moves along and whether you maintain veganism. I stay away from red meat - same reasoning actually. Saw a beautiful cow at the 4H COUNTY FAIR back in 2018 and something snapped when I saw it being led off after the auction. I don't miss red meat - still do wild caught fish though! Anyway - shine on you crazy diamond - keep it coming!
Thank you! I have a couple other videos on my channel on my relationship with food and veganism ☺️
What a great down to earth summary! I am on the fence trying to decide whether to use the drug. I have no symptoms other than fatigue and the colonoscopy shows a spot of inflammation. Was looking for something plain spoken like this. Thanks so much - helps push my needle.
Just diagnosed 3 weeks ago and starting Skyrizi soon - thanks so much for sharing your story and ongoing experience with the biologic. really helps - I'll be following along :)
I thought skyrizi is only for crohns patients who have tried and failed other biologics.
@@peteranthony3134 from what I understand that can be the process when applying to have an American insurance company cover your medication as an American citizen (like Nina describes). In Canada where I am you do not need to go through a private insurer - once you have a biologic prescribed by your doctor in Canada you typically receive coverage from the provincial government. In my situation Skyrizi is what I was prescribed by my doctor right away, and the government respects that.
Sorry for so many comments. This is so unjust.
Azathioprine is chemo. It can cause death!!! It is NOT fda approved for IBD. Its toxic. You are better off taking nothing.
APPEAL¡!!!!!!
Steroids and immunosupressanta are not safe for long term use and can potentially cause more harm than your disease
I’m obsessed with the t-shirt! So glad you’re sharing your journey with crohn’s. Welcome to the club. 🫶🏻 I’m on Remicade. I remember the emotional feeling once I finally had been diagnosed with crohn’s and feeling as if I finally might have a way to get my life back. So I get that completely. Love that you’re talking about it. Love that your infusions are rapid from the get go! I got my first rapid infusion this week, but before this week, I 3-4 hours! And a fellow Crohnie totally gets wanting to show the colonoscopy and endoscopy pics. A true rite of passage. So happy that this is showing improvement when it comes to your symptoms. Hang in there! Loving your content and glad I found you. 💜
You’re so kind, thank you for sharing! 💝
Nice you basically parroted what doctors say and want you to believe. I went carnivore and reversed 12 years of suffering with Crohn’s disease. But i won’t tell you to do this because you don’t want any advice. Good luck.
I can share my experience and you can share yours. What exactly did I say that upset you?
My guess is that, as I listen to your story, you speak glowingly of a diet that is clearly not helping you heal. I heard you describe the worsening of the disease that has occurred since choosing a vegan diet. So I can see how someone who experienced long term remission following exactly the opposite diet from yours might feel frustrated that you aren’t interested. Just my thoughts. I hope you find healing, lovely lady.
@@readysetgo8706 pretty poor comprehension of my journey. Nowhere I said I was worsening from carnivore. Put down the alcohol.
Have you looked into vit d levels and going into a carnivore diet. Also vit B1 dosing while taking potassium and magnisium.
Hey Nina. Welcome to the Crohn's family. Excited to hear how Skyrizi works for you. I finally got to infusion after my Remicade infusions. My Crohn's presented with anal fistulas and bathroom urgency. I remember the feeling of not knowing what it felt like to feel "well." Thank you for sharing your journey and I look forward to learning more about your journey.
