Hi, I'm Sally - and I've been living with Menière's disease for over twenty years.
I was also diagnosed with TMJ Disorder and Degenerative Disc Disease along the way, so chronic illness has shaped pretty much every corner of my life. Not always gently.
I created The Wudy Way because I couldn't find what I actually needed when I was first diagnosed: something honest, warm, and practical - written by someone who genuinely gets it. Not a medical textbook. Not toxic positivity. Just real talk from someone in the trenches alongside you.
I'm also a qualified Nutritional Therapist, trained at Premier International in London (2010 -2012) and a registered member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
That means everything I write comes from both lived experience and professional training - not just what's worked for me personally, but what's grounded in how the body actually works.
It's that combination - living it and studying it - that shapes the way I write about managing symptoms, supporting the body through food, and finding rhythms that work when your health is unpredictable.
What I've learned after two decades is that living well with Menière's isn't about curing anything or pretending it's fine. It's about building a life that's gentler, more sustainable, and - where possible - more joyful.
That's what this space is for.
Here you'll find honest posts about symptoms, triggers, nutrition, mental health, and all the quieter things that help: slow living, creativity, nervous system care, and community.
You are not alone in this. And you don't have to figure it out on your own.
