The Journey of Healing THrough Food

This wild, heartfelt, and beautiful journey to wellness through food that pushed me from just standing on the sidelines waiting for change to happen to me – to me jumping in with both feet, arms wide open - creating the change I wanted to see for myself.

For perspective, it's not like I wasn't already eating healthy prior to my diagnosis. I was choosing organic ingredients and I had completely stopped eating fast food years before I was even diagnosed with Graves' Disease. Junk food always made me feel so poorly. So what went wrong?

THIS! We have not been shown how food can be a powerful tool for your well-being, lifestyle and health. If you think about it, it's not often talked about and more often quickly dismissed. After my diagnosis, I grew sick and tired of feeling so sick and tired all the time. It was exhausting. I knew things had to change and that's when I went 'cold turkey' and stopped eating meat, eliminated all poultry and seafood from my diet and embraced an all plant-based lifestyle.

I had no idea what I was doing when I began but I've been on this amazing ride ever since and it led me to full remission. I learned how to develop and create simple to gourmet plant-based internationally loved dishes and flavors from around the world - without ever having to leave the country - all cooked up in my home kitchen.

As I began to experiement with fresh, garden grown organic herbs, whole foods, real, clean foods, that are nutrient dense - the way nature intended foods to be eaten - along with spices and seasonings from around the globe, things began to change in truly significant ways. Food became my medicine. All the things I learned, I applied in my own recipe development, cooking, testing and perfecting because I wanted to see what would happen to me on this journey.
