I can’t count the amount of times people see me and say “I need to get with you sometime” or “I have been wanting to contact you. I need to get off my medications” —
Do you know how many of those people follow up with me?
Zero.

I know they get scared. Or put it off.
Most people are afraid of the freedom they will lose. They don’t realize the freedom they will gain. From the aches, pains, and food addictions. Freedom from feeling trapped in a body that you feel isn’t yours (I was there).
They think a new season of life would be a good time to make a change; once I’m out of this stressful job season or young kid season. But the seasons just shift into other seasons.

It’s easier than you think. And there won’t be a better season than the one you’re in right now.

I didn’t know if I’d have this scene in my life. In college, when I was having my health crisis, I didn’t have enough energy to fully function… how would my body ever support a child?

People are scared of making a change with food. They should be more scared of their illness turning into something worse.

The chronic fatigue, inflammation, pain and brain fog are sacred messengers that something is wrong. You have the opportunity to stop the trajectory. Don’t think you don’t.

I’m grateful for hospitals when acute care is needed. When my daughter had an abscess in her neck 3 years ago, we needed a hospital and we needed quick, intense treatment. It provided just that and because of it, she was released in just a few days.
But what about for chronic conditions? The ailments that don’t seem to find an answer in a conventional system. It just wasn’t built to get to the root cause.

Someone reached out to me who has sought answers the last few years for their chronic illness. They’ve even been to a big medical university.
I told him he should feel hopeful because I could suggest a lot of options and starting points, all of which could have a huge impact.
First, I suggested getting to a chiropractor. And then really revamping his diet - I suggested at minimum getting out grains and sugar. And a further step would be animal-based or carnivore.

I also wrote a list of other things to consider:
-spike protein detox (if symptoms appeared or increased after the Covid va*cine)
-Cranio-sacral massage
-Acupuncture
-Low lever laser therapy (LLLT)
-Parasite detox

The list goes on, but those were initial suggestions. Just because these remedies are off the beaten path, they are not inferior. It often means they aren’t as profitable, but many times are as effective or more than what conventional medicine has in their toolbox.
Have a similar story? I’d love to hear.

I hope the same amount of people who said “yes!” to my recent post about how I don’t have to strength to make my kids eat healthy all the time, will say “yes!” to this too:

I do everything I can to prep and cook real unprocessed foods, prioritize spending on wholesome groceries, and teach my kids what will best nourish their bodies.

Both statements can be true at the same time! We eat healthy, from-scratch 90% of the time and leave wiggle room for the other 10%. Perfection isn’t the goal, but giving it my best effort and leading by example is.

I don’t have the strength to make them eat healthy all the time.

We do our best. We cook from scratch, go out of our way to get grass-fed meats and raw milk, and limit refined sugar, GMO’s, and seed oils. I care a lot. But I can only care so much and control so much before I feel like a crazy person. I’m not going to have them skip birthday party treats, avoid the concessions, or opt out of Halloween candy.
I definitely lessen the amount of these things, but I need my sanity too. My kids are taught what is a nourishing food. As they get older, they’ll have to take ownership for their body and well-being.

I refuse to obsess about every little food choice.

We took our kids out for a fancy dinner and it was so fun. Usually mom and dad go alone, but this time we said yes to them going and they loved it.

We sat outside so they could people watch in downtown Fort Wayne. That puts the perfect cap on summer for us 🫶🏻

Would you eat leaves for 90 days to cure your colitis, reflux, migraines, or other chronic condition?
I would.

Now, what if instead of leaves you got to eat omelets, roasts, steak, burger salads, and other hearty proteins?

Could you do that for 90 days to free your body of inflammation and burden? What if you spent a lifetime acquiring your problems and could reverse them in 3-6 months?

I do believe it’s possible and I do believe eating carnivore / primal diets are one fantastic way to do it.

How come we dance around the idea of changing our food? We’re willing to go to a weightlifting class, get more sleep, wear blue blockers, try cold plunging and saunas, get a new prescription… but not address the one thing that can make or break your healing?

I get it. We love our foods, the habits around them, the social aspects, but we also love the unhealthy addictions, temporary mouth pleasure - over our health. Guys, extreme circumstances call for extreme solutions. I hardly meet a person who isn’t sick. This isn’t going away. It won’t get better on its own.

Think about making a real change. I’ll help you through it. I have been through it before - from sleeping 14 hours a day and wondering if I’d ever be a normal, productive person to thriving and loving life and having 3 healthy babies. Reach out, I’m here 🫶🏻

Sucks being aware, huh?

Once you start to see the connections between food and environment to our well-being, it’s just about impossible to unsee it. And it usually means one connection leads to another, sometimes creating some major inconveniences and major cognitive dissonance for people. I get it... it’s easier in some ways to remain ignorant about these connections to health.

But - it’s also very freeing. How else are you going to get relief from your ulcerative colitis, migraines, or anxiety? They don’t usually just disappear on their own. It often takes awareness, ownership, and action from the individual.

Listen, if you’re peering over the edge, just jump. You won’t regret peeling back the layers of your habits, discovering new discipline you never thought you had, knowledge you didn’t know was out there, and a vitality you cannot fake. The water’s fine over here, c’mon jump on in! I’ll greet you with a sparkling water with lime. You won’t even feel like you’re missing out on anything.
