Helga Dalla Holistic Wellness Mentor

Back in 2015, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis during menopause. I was in constant pain, exhausted, foggy, and losing myself.

Holistic Healing Mentor helping women with inflammation, fatigue & overwhelm restore balance, rewire their mind, and heal naturally through neuroscience & daily self-care 🌿 Helga Dalla is the Founder of Advancing Health Naturally, RA remission warrior, passionate biohacker, and natural health mentor for women who are done feeling tired, inflamed, and dismissed. Instead of accepting a lifetime of medications and uncertainty, I turned to nature and activation science. Fast forward to today, I'm living in remission, full of energy, with freedom I never thought possible. With five of the most effective shifts I use (and still use daily) to support my body, calm inflammation, and reclaim vitality. I’ve helped many others take back their power — and now, it’s your turn.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿.

Between the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis in 2015 and the point where things finally started to shift, there were about two years where I did everything I could think of and got steadily worse.

I've told you before that what changed was understanding my body was in survival mode. What I haven't told you is how it stayed there.

It stayed there because of four sentences. I said them constantly, out loud and to myself, and I thought they were simply how a capable woman talks.

“𝙄'𝙢 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚.”

I said it to my husband, to my doctor, and to myself before I'd finished waking up. Here's the problem. Your nervous system doesn't run on facts, it runs on signals. Every time I said I'm fine and then carried on as though I were, I confirmed the situation was handled. So it stayed on.

“𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙.”

There was always a next thing. Rest turned into a reward I never qualified for, and a body that is never given permission to stop is a body that never gets around to repair.

“𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚.”

Completely true. Also completely irrelevant to your immune system. This is the sentence women use to talk themselves out of care, and I used it for years.

“𝙄𝙩 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄'𝙢 𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

Two years of elimination. I became genuinely expert at food and never once looked at the load I was carrying. Food was the only variable I felt I had any control over, so food is where all of my effort went.

Here's what I understand now, and it took a long time.

Your body doesn't respond to what you decide. It responds to what you tell it, over and over, without noticing you're doing it.

I wasn't unwell because of four sentences. But those four sentences are how I kept my body in the exact state that made everything else I tried not work.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀.

A quiet one this Monday morning.

𝙁𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙮:

the stress that never finished,
the sleep that doesn't repair,
the shape of your day,
movement at either extreme, and
the thing you haven't said out loud.

Not one of them is food. And I notice that landed as relief for some of you and as something heavier for others, because a food problem is at least a problem you can shop your way out of, and these ones ask more.

So before you make a plan about any of it, one Monday thought.

Every single one of those five is something you've been carrying quietly, for a long time, without much acknowledgement, while continuing to function at a level most people around you have never once questioned.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖 𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨. That's a description of a woman doing something extremely difficult, well, for years.

𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬.

Driver three, and it’s the only one this week that touches food.

But not in the way you’re expecting, and I want to be careful here because this is the week I’ve been telling you inflammation isn’t a food problem.

It isn’t. But it is, sometimes, a rhythm problem.

Here’s the shape of a very common day.

Coffee at six. Nothing until eleven because you’re busy and you’re not hungry anyway. Something quick standing up at one. The three o’clock drop, which you meet with something sweet because there’s no time for anything else. Dinner at eight, larger than you meant it to be, because by then your body is negotiating rather than asking.

Then bed, digesting.

Every item in that day can be organic.
Every item can be gluten-free, dairy-free, immaculate.

It changes almost nothing.

Because what your body is responding to is not only the quality of the food. It’s the shape of the day: long gaps that read as scarcity, a drop it has to rescue you from, and a large late meal landing at exactly the hour your body wanted to start repairing instead.

Your adrenals get involved.
Your blood sugar swings, then overcorrects.

And every one of those swings is an inflammatory event, small, individually meaningless, repeated a thousand times a year.

This is the part women find hardest to hear, because they’ve worked so hard on the *what*.

Two years of research into ingredients. And the shape of the day was never examined at all.

I’m not going to tell you what to change today. I want to know something first.

Describe your yesterday to me. Just the times. When you first ate, when you last ate, and where the gap was.

Nothing else... no apologising, no explaining, no listing what it was.

I’ll read every one. And I suspect a lot of you are going to look at your own comment and see it for the first time.

Last call on this one: comment INFLAMMATION and I’ll send you Inflammation SOS; the five natural shifts I use daily, including the morning smoothie that fixed the front end of my own day, and my full daily reset routine. After today I’ll stop mentioning it for a while.

"Just get eight hours."

You do get eight hours. You're in bed by ten, you're up at six, you have the watch and the app and the little coloured rings that say you did well.

And you wake up feeling like you've been hit by a bus.

So you conclude that you're doing sleep wrong. Wrong pillow. Wrong temperature. Wrong magnesium.

Driver two of five, and it isn't the hours.

Sleep isn't one thing you either get or don't get. It's a sequence of jobs your body runs overnight: clearing waste from the brain, consolidating what happened to you, repairing tissue, resetting hormones, calming down the immune activity of the day.

Every one of those jobs is expensive. And your body will not spend that money while it believes it's still on duty.

So if your nervous system is running one of those unfinished cycles I wrote about yesterday, you can lie in that bed for nine hours and get attendance without repair. The watch counts the hours. Your body counts the work. That's why the two of them keep disagreeing with each other, and why you keep assuming the problem is you.

It isn't you. It's the order.

A body that doesn't feel safe won't do deep repair, and no amount of sleep hygiene overrides that. Which is why "fix your sleep" almost never works as a first step, and almost always works as a third one.

I'm curious about this one. Does your watch tell you you're sleeping well while your body flatly disagrees? Tell me — I want to know how common this is, because in my conversations it's close to universal.

Still going through the drivers this week. In the meantime, if you'd like something practical in your hands, my guide Inflammation SOS has five natural shifts I use daily — the morning smoothie, the evening wind-down, the whole daily reset routine.

Comment INFLAMMATION and it's yours.

11/09/2026

Yesterday I said inflammation is a load rather than a food. This week I'm going through what's actually on that load, one driver a day. Here's the first, and it's the one almost nobody names.

Stress isn't an event. It's a cycle.

Something happens. Your body mobilises — heart rate, cortisol, blood sugar, muscle tension, the lot. You deal with the thing. And then the cycle is supposed to close. Your body gets the signal that it's over, stands down, and goes back to the work it was doing before: digesting, repairing, sleeping properly, regulating your hormones.

That last part is where it falls apart for most of the women I speak with.

You handled it. Of course you did. You handle everything. But handling something and finishing it are not the same event, and your body only responds to the second one.

So the cycle stays open. And another one opens on top of it. And another. And you end up with a body that has been half-mobilised for eleven years, running a low-grade emergency in the background of an ordinary Tuesday.

That state has a name from the outside — chronic stress. From the inside, it's called inflammation. Same thing, different vantage point.

Which is why "I'm not even that stressed at the moment" and "I'm inflamed" are not the contradiction they sound like. You're not stressed right now. You're carrying forty open cycles from the years when you were, and nothing has ever told your body they're closed.

Here's the part I want you to sit with: you don't need less life. Most of you can't have less life, and I'm not going to insult you by suggesting it.

You need more finished cycles. Which is a completely different job, and a much more possible one.

Which cycle of yours do you think is still open? Not the big obvious one — the old one. The one you'd have to think for a second to name.

If you'd like something practical to start with while I go through the rest of the drivers this week, I've put together a short guide called Inflammation SOS: five natural shifts I use myself, including the morning smoothie and the daily routine I've used to stay in remission.

Comment INFLAMMATION and I'll send it to you.

In my next post, I want to talk about inflammation properly, so today I’ll say the thing that frames it.

Almost every conversation about inflammation is a conversation about food.

And food is one input. A real one.

But when a woman has been eating carefully for two years and still feels inflamed, “eat cleaner” has stopped being advice and started being a punishment.

Here’s how I think about it instead.

Inflammation is what a body does when it’s managing more than it can currently resolve.

Food can add to that load. So can sleep that never restores you. So can stress that never finishes. So can isolation, and movement at either extreme, and everything you’re carrying and not saying.
Your body doesn’t file those separately. It adds them to the same pile.

Which is why the woman with the immaculate diet can still be inflamed, she’s been doing the one part she had control over while four others sat untouched.

This week I’m going to go through those other drivers properly.
For today, one question: if inflammation is a load rather than a food, what’s on yours?

08/09/2026

A gentle one for today.

Somewhere in the middle of trying to get well, it's very easy to turn yourself into a project. Something to be optimised, tracked, corrected and improved.

I did it for years. Spreadsheets. Protocols. A running internal assessment of whether I was doing well enough.

And I'd like to say something plainly: you are not a project.

You're a person carrying more than anyone around you can see, doing it mostly without complaint, and probably being harder on yourself than you'd ever be on a friend in the same position.

The work of getting better doesn't require you to become your own difficult employee.

Take today off from managing yourself. The protocol will keep.

08/09/2026

When I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I went hunting for the cause. Singular.

The food that did this to me. I read everything. I removed a great deal. I got genuinely good at it.

And some of it helped. I want to be honest about that, changing how I ate mattered, and I'd never tell anyone it didn't.

But I kept waiting for the moment where I'd found it. Where I'd remove the last thing and my body would come back to me.

That moment never arrived.

Because I was looking for a cause, and what I actually had was a load. Years of unfinished stress.

A nervous system that had been running on high alert so long it had forgotten there was another setting. A woman who could not put anything down, ever, for anyone.

None of that was ever going to show up on an elimination diet.

I'm not telling you food doesn't matter. It does.
I'm telling you it was never going to be the whole answer, and I wish someone had said that to me about six years earlier than anyone did.

If you're still looking for the one thing, what would you say you're carrying?

07/09/2026

"𝙄'𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜."

I hear this most weeks, and I understand exactly why.
But I don't think it's usually true, and I mean that as encouragement rather than a correction.

𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚'𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚.

A woman lists what she's tried, and it's a genuinely long list.

𝙀𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙨. 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙨. 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨. 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝘾𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣, 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩.

Which is a lot of effort. Years of it, often.

But look at the shape of that list. Almost every item is the same category of action: add something, remove something, or try harder at something.

What's usually missing is the question underneath. Not "what should I do next?" but "what is my body already carrying that's making everything I try land badly?"

That's not one more thing to add to the list.

It's a different question, and it tends to change which items on the list were ever going to work.

𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜… 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩?

02/09/2026

Have you ever known exactly what you should do, and still found yourself not doing it?

That question fascinates me more than almost anything else in this work.

Because information isn't usually the missing piece. Not for the women I speak with.

You know what to eat. You know you need to move. You know you need boundaries. You know you need to slow down, and you could probably explain to someone else precisely why.

And you still find yourself in the same pattern six months later.

That isn't a willpower problem, and I'd like to retire that explanation entirely.

Underneath a behaviour there is often something older running, a pattern built a long time ago around safety, or worthiness, or control, or what happened last time you let yourself want something.

Those patterns aren't stupidity. They were protective once. Many of them worked. Which is why the more useful question isn't "why can't I make myself do this?"

It's "what is this pattern trying to protect me from?"

That's a completely different conversation. It's kinder, and in my experience it's far more productive.

If that landed somewhere, my free training goes into it properly. Under 30 minutes, and at the end it unlocks a personalised CALM Body Blueprint, a short guided assessment that helps you work out what's actually keeping your body stuck, and which area to start with.

Not a generic plan. Your starting point.

Last day I'm pointing people to it this month. I'll drop the link in the comments below this post and I'll reply personally to the first ten.

And tell me in the comments 👇🏼 what's the thing you know how to do and still aren't doing?

No judgement here. I've got my own.
