When we look at our current food system, chronic disease doesn’t seem like such a mystery anymore...

But there’s a shift that we’re seeing—with the MAHA movement growing, we’re seeing families turn back to real, whole foods, and big companies choosing to remove harmful food additives and dyes from their products. We’re seeing restaurants like In ‘N Out and Steak ‘N Shake rising to the occasion and improving their menus.

This shift is positive, but there’s still so much left to be done. We have to keep saying “no” to the conveniences that are harming our health.

I’ve created a simple guide with my top 9 favorite whole foods to boost your energy and help your body heal. This is a great place to start if you want to cut out ultra-processed foods from your diet. Just comment ‘ENERGY’ and I’ll send it your way.

Thirty-five years ago, a pregnant first time mama came to me, burdened by a doctor's words. During a routine first-trimester exam, he told her, based on her small build and her husband’s height, she’d “never be able to push that baby out.” Imagine carrying that fear throughout your pregnancy. ⁠
⁠
She switched to me to be her midwife. During her beautiful home birth, just before her baby's head emerged, she froze, terrified, whispering, "Aviva - is this baby too big for me to get out?" That seed of doubt, planted by an authority figure, nearly derailed her birth. Feeling her baby's head and receiving some kind words from me pushed that fear away as her baby emerged just a minute later. ⁠
⁠
This wasn't just bad bedside manner on her OBs part. It’s a stark example of how words, even well-intentioned ones, can have a profound impact. ⁠
⁠
“Medical hexing.” the way that language in medical settings can disempower us, shaping our beliefs and even our health outcomes, is sometimes more subtle - and is important to recognize - and know how to navigate to get the care you deserve. ⁠
⁠
Listen now to "Have You Been Medically Hexed? The Power of Words to Heal and to Harm" on the Aviva Romm On Health podcast. Don't let someone else's words define your health or your power.

I have been a nurse for 23 years, it is so much more than a profession but a calling that was placed on my life as a child. If you were to go back and look at my memory books, I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor for as long as I can remember. Today I’m living that dream that I had as a little girl! Happy Nurses Week!
