Autoimmune Hepatitis + Ulcerative Colitis · Chanel MacKenzie

At 30, Chanel was living with a “trio” of autoimmune conditions: Ulcerative Colitis, Type 1 Autoimmune Hepatitis, and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, plus severe iron deficiency and exhaustion.

After years of trying everything from holistic approaches to strict diets, she finally surrendered to medication… and still felt something was missing.

In this episode, I talk with Chanel, a 30‑year‑old community support worker from New Zealand, who shares how years of flares, hospitalisation, very high liver enzymes, low iron and a background in holistic medicine led to a crisis point where conventional meds were necessary—but still didn’t feel like the full answer.

Inside six weeks of the Release Process®, Chanel experienced:

Normalised systemic inflammation, iron and hemoglobin A significant drop in liver enzymes A complete shift in how she sees medication, boundaries, relationships and her own leadership

This conversation explores how processing long‑held emotions changed not only Chanel’s inner world, but also her health markers, work opportunities and sense of purpose.
