Laughter Is the Best Medicine: How Joy Can Help You Heal Your Autoimmune Condition

In this uplifting episode of Autoimmune Rehab, we explore the science and soul behind the saying "laughter is the best medicine." Discover how joy, humor, and even a few giggles can trigger powerful healing responses in your body—especially when you're navigating chronic illness or autoimmune symptoms. Learn about how laughter is best medicine, plus yoga, energy medicine, meditation and more helped Dr. Neja Zupan heal autoimmune conditions and even cancer. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or just need a mental reset, this episode will remind you of the power of lightheartedness in your wellness toolkit. Because sometimes, the best therapy isn’t a supplement—it’s a belly laugh.

🎧 Tune in now and find out why laughter really is the best medicine!

In 2013, Dr. Zupan was diagnosed with aggressive hormone-dependent breast cancer and given only a 5% chance of survival without chemotherapy or radiation. But she said no to conventional treatment — and yes to a path of deep, natural, and energy-based healing. Through frequency recalibration, subconscious reprogramming, emotional integration, and physical detoxification, she not only healed… she rebuilt her entire life. Today, she leads the Mastering Energy Academy and the Dr. Neja Zupan Institute, where she supports high achievers and conscious professionals in restoring their health, vitality, and clarity — by working with the energy behind their biology. She believes autoimmune conditions are often a response to misalignment — emotional suppression, inherited trauma, and energetic stagnation that builds over time. She helps clients decode the body’s signals and return to natural regulation through presence, nervous system balance, and vibrational awareness.

Understanding Toxic Mold Syndrome: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Healing Naturally

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into Toxic Mold Syndrome—an often overlooked root cause of chronic illness. If you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, or persistent inflammation, mold exposure could be the missing link. Learn the key signs and symptoms of mold toxicity, how to get a proper diagnosis, and holistic strategies to detox and support your immune system. Whether you're newly diagnosed or suspect mold may be impacting your health, this episode offers practical tips and expert insight to help you reclaim your wellness naturally.

Bonnie K. Brown is a Board-Certified Patient Advocate and CellCore Biosciences Practitioner who has been dedicated to helping others uncover the root causes of their chronic illness since the year 2000. As the founder of A Better Life – Health & Wellness, she empowers individuals to reclaim their health by bridging the gap between traditional healthcare and foundational & functional medicine. Bonnie’s mission is to simplify the healing journey for those who feel lost, scared, and overwhelmed - offering practical solutions and hope to those who’ve tried everything without success. Bonnie’s expertise is not just professional - it’s deeply personal. Her 40-year health journey began in college and unfolded into a decades-long medical mystery that nearly cost her life.

 A former Jet Ski Champion who won the World Cup Champtionship, and National Championship - and was the only female member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Jet Ski Team in Seoul, South Korea - Bonnie unknowingly set herself on a collision course with environmental illness. Living on the water and near mold-infested buildings led to severe health issues that spiraled out of control.

Despite graduating summa cum laude with a Master’s Degree in Human Development and having a brother who was a Physician’s Assistant and a sister who was a Medical Lab Technician, Bonnie endured 17 major surgeries (most unnecessary), spent over $400,000 in out-of-pocket costs, and was misdiagnosed for decades. Twice, she received last rites due to preventable medical events & medical malpractice.

Her experiences taught her that intelligence, credentials, and even the best connections in the world aren’t enough to navigate a broken healthcare system - unless you have someone who’s lived it themselves and learned how to beat it. Today, Bonnie is that guide for others. She helps clients to fast-track their healing with her proven “3 Steps to Success” framework: 1. Get you out of the toxins 2. Get the toxins out of you 3. Keep your home and workspace safe Her clients, many of whom have seen top specialists and spent tens of thousands of dollars searching for solutions, and other medical professionals who are unable to fix their own body, or help their patients get better, finally find clarity, direction, and effective results through her support & guidance.

Bonnie jokes that working with someone who’s survived it all means that they get all of the wisdom without any of the scars. With deep empathy, unwavering resilience, and a roadmap to health forged through personal experience, Bonnie helps others turn their worst health setbacks into powerful comebacks. She’s not just a survivor - she’s a thriver, a healthcare navigator, and a lifeline for those ready to reclaim their health and hope. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help others live A Better Life by offering real solutions, actionable strategies, and the belief that healing is always possible.
