Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! I hope you're enjoying some time with the people you love.


It's a time for family, fun festivities, cooking, baking, and gift-giving. But it's also a time that can bring up a list of traumas to the surface, challenge us, and remind us of those we have lost who aren't with us to celebrate.


And it can give us pause for self-reflection: What do we want to bring in the new year, and what do we want to leave behind? What do we want to create? Who do we want to be? What do we want to change? This can bring up both worry and excitement.


So, that's what today's episode is going to dive into—setting intentions for a brand new year. First, I'll be sharing my 3 TOOLS for getting into ALIGNMENT with your intentions. Not just setting them, but the tools to get into alignment to make sure they happen—with grace and ease.


Then, I'll be speaking with Dilan Abeya, who says that working on aspects of yourself that “no one can take away from you” is critical: your mindset, character, personality, fitness, and mental well-being.


Dilan turned to fitness after overcoming personal hardships, and finding strength and focus in regular gym sessions. His candid journey, shared transparently on Instagram, not only motivates but also highlights his dedication to coaching and helping others.

What are aminos, and why are they vitally important for plant-based dieters? How does building muscle help us age in reverse? What are Kion aminos, and why are they essential to our health?

These questions and more are answered by CEO of Kion, Angelo Keely, on today's episode of Food Heals.

Angelo Keely was born in Austin, Texas, and raised there on a foundation of organic, mostly vegetarian whole foods, along with an array of supplements.

After surviving a stabbing and being left for dead, he woke up in the hospital with a completely new outlook on life. Angelo delved deeply into science, nutrition, meditation, yoga, breathwork, cold/heat therapy, acupuncture, and the body's innate ability to heal itself.

Driven by the dream of fostering the healthiest and most inspiring work culture within a rapidly growing consumer products company, Angelo co-founded Kion in 2017 in Boulder, Colorado.

Kion offers premium, clean, research-backed supplements and foods—with a focus on AMINOS as the building blocks of health—that support a long and active life.

How might psychedelics, also known as plant medicine, revolutionize our approach to mental health by offering swift healing for lifelong trauma and PTSD for people in traumatic jobs such as police officers without the need for prolonged traditional therapy? What are the legal ramifications of growing and consuming plant medicine?


Asking questions like these is what led to this three part series on Food Heals where we are discussing how plant medicine can help us heal. In this series you are hearing brand new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself as well - Maybe you heard out last episode with Derek the founder Pachamama Sanctuary, and you are ready for your own Ayahuasca retreat or perhaps you want to grow plant medicine at home like Paul taught us in the first episode in the series. Or perhaps you'll be inspired by today's guest current clothing designer and former police officer Nick Motycka who healed 15 years worth of job-related trauma.


Nick Motycka was a police officer who was suffering from job related trauma and PTSD. Traditional therapies didn't work, so he explored plant medicine. In a breakthrough session, he processed 15 years of trauma in one day, shifting from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis. His mind was blown. Now free from trauma's effects, Nick resigned from law enforcement, aligning his life with his values, and founded a clothing company, Flow State Designs.


Flow State Designs isn't just about clothes; it's a lifestyle. Nick focuses on using the best textiles, made by workers earning fair wages in Canada, minimizing environmental impact. His hope is that the brand enhances well-being and helps individuals find their unique flow in life.

Despite their controversial reputation, psychedelics are being widely used by doctors, shamans, retreat leaders, and more across the world to treat trauma and PTSD. Whether it's Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, or another form of plant medicine, rapid healing can occur when using these medicinal plants. So, how do we learn to unlock the rapid healing power of these psychedelics? Imagine addressing lifelong trauma, PTSD, addiction, and more within minutes, without the need for years of traditional therapy.

Contemplating questions like these inspired this three-part series on Food Heals, where we discuss the healing power of plant medicine. In this series, you'll hear brand-new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey, as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself. Whether you want to grow medicine at home like Paul taught us last time or go to a retreat center like Derek will tell us about today, there is an option for you to explore if plant medicine is right for you.

In the first episode of this series, you heard from Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, a pioneer reshaping our perceptions of psychedelics and guiding on growing your own plant medicine at home.

In today's episode, part two of our series, I'm talking to Derek Januszewski, the founder of Pachamama Sanctuary, an Ayahuasca retreat center. He'll share the story of how plant medicine assisted in his journey to overcome childhood abuse and a decade-long battle with addiction.

Through intense inner work, extensive engagement with medicine, and countless hours of service, Derek has healed much of his trauma. The spiritual healing he received through plant medicine inspired him to start Pachamama Sanctuary, aiming to help others find their own path to health and happiness.

Pachamama Sanctuary, an Ayahuasca center in Southern Maine, was founded in 2019. Since its inception, its mission has been to elevate collective consciousness through the sacrament of Ayahuasca—a tea derived from plants in the Amazon rainforest. It has facilitated profound insights and clarity into past traumas, offering a chance for peace, especially for those grappling with addiction, PTSD, or negative cycles.

Stay tuned for part 3, where I speak with former police officer Nick Motycka, who healed 15 years' worth of job-related trauma. He transitioned from being clinically diagnosed with severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis through the use of plant medicine.

Whether it's Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, MDMA, or even LSD, Psychedelics have been given a bad name over the years, but what is the truth about these demonized drugs? Do they fit the drug category or do they fit the plant medicine category? What if we could unlock their healing power in a matter of minutes, addressing lifelong trauma and PTSD without years of therapy? 


These questions are what inspired this three part series on Food Heals where we are discussing the healing power of plant medicine. In this series you'll hear brand new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself as well.


Enter my first guest, Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, and a pioneer in reshaping our perceptions of psychedelics.


Through his companies, Third Wave and Synthesis, he has helped lay the groundwork for legal, mainstream access to psychedelic medicine that has long been stigmatized. Because of his efforts at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul’s work has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, WebMD, Business Insider, and Rolling Stone.


Tune into learning how microdosing can help us in our personal and professional lives, how to find a safe space for healing, and what you can do at home to grow your own plant medicine.


And then stay tuned because this is Part 1 of our three part series. In Part 2, I'm talking to Derek Januszewski, the founder of Pachamama Sanctuary, which is an Ayahuasca retreat center and he'll share the story of how plant medicine assisted in his journey to sobriety.


And finally in part 3, I'll speak with former police officer, Nick Motycka who healed 15 years worth of job-related trauma and went from being clinically diagnosed with severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis through the use of plant medicine.

Happy Thanksgiving! If you're celebrating, I hope you're surrounded by people who light up your world, enjoying delicious, nourishing food and, of course, some fine wine! Speaking of wine, did you know that not all vino is created equal? From glyphosate lurking in the soil to fish bladder fining agents, a lot of what's in our glasses can be a chemical shit storm. But don't worry; today's guest is pioneering a solution. Enter High Vibrational Wines – a brand-new company that's breaking the mold, offering wines that are organic, chemical-free, and vegan.


You remember JJ Flizanes from multiple episodes of Food Heals. She is an Empowerment Strategist and creator of The Empowering Minds Network. She hosts several podcasts, including her most popular show, Spirit, Purpose & Energy, and her wine show is Something to Wine About.


JJ and I are both wine enthusiasts and health nuts, so how can we be both? As wine lovers, we want our wine to be on the healthy side but also taste amazing. Sadly that seems to be something lacking in the wine market today. How can we enjoy our wine without those dreaded hangovers, all while ensuring it's organic and tastes delicious? That's the challenge JJ tackled head-on when she approached me, saying, 'I'm creating an organic wine that's forever chemical-free and vegan.' My response? 'Sign me up.' And she did.


In today's episode, you'll learn exactly how she did it. You'll even catch me doing a live taste test on air! Plus, we'll reveal how you can get your hands on this extraordinary wine, with the added bonus of a 20% discount for our listeners.

Happy, healthy holidays! I hope you're cooking and spending time with people you care about. Today, we're going to talk a little bit about forever chemicals and how to avoid them. Then, we'll lighten it up with some fun holiday and year-round healthy recipes.

Glyphosate - one of those scary forever chemicals - is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It poses significant health and environmental risks, lingering in the environment for extended periods and disrupting normal cell development. Exposure to glyphosate has been linked to neurotoxic effects, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and more.

It's a scary topic, but it's part of our food system, so we have to address it.

Which brings me to today's guest. You remember Shanais Pelka from episode 426. She is the Head of Research & Development at Organifi, passionate about food, herbs, medicinal mushrooms, sustainability, and community. In episode 426, she shared her story of overcoming a respiratory infection and platelet disorder using herbs and supplements.

Today, she's back to share how to go Glyphosate-Free. She'll also share some fun holiday recipes and gift ideas, and we'll hear all about Organifi's brand-new product straight from the mountains of the Himalayas.

Did you know that physical clutter can also clutter up our minds, not to mention the dust cluttering up our bodies? But, lack of space is not the cause of clutter. Disorganization results in 80 percent of the clutter in most homes.

In the average home, getting rid of clutter eliminates 40 percent of housework. Plus, most of us only use 20 percent of what we own!

In the last two episodes, we heard from experts about the power of detoxing our homes, now it's time to declutter!

First up, it's Wellness Expert Kimberly Van Der Beek, who shares her tips for decluttering, air-cleaning plants (that's right, plants that actually clean your air), and her top tips to thrive!

Then I catch up with Janice McQueen, host of the Beauty Call podcast, who shares that her secret to clarity is decluttering and how she does it.

And finally, I roll my interview with Michael Ofei & Maša Ofei, authors of "The Minimalist Vegan: A Simple Manifesto On Why To Live With Less Stuff And More Compassion."

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions?

Which of the unpronounceable chemicals listed on the back of my shampoo bottle might be toxic?

Why aren't companies always required to list toxic ingredients on their product labels?

How can I make sure my kids and pets are safe while also keeping my home clean?

Creating a healthy, non-toxic home often feels like a losing battle. When it seems like everything is bad for you, from pesticides in your produce to flame retardants in your mattress, it's hard to get motivated to change. That's why I have three incredible guests here to help us learn the little adjustments we can all make to have a big impact on our health. Plus, we'll get their advice on detoxing our home and beauty products, and what to use instead.

First up, it's Tonya Harris with her tips straight from her book, "The Slightly Greener Method: Detoxifying Your Home Is Easier, Faster, and Less Expensive Than You Think."

Then we've got Sandee Ferman from No Tox Life - a company that provides natural, toxin-free vegan body care to help you live a cleaner, greener lifestyle.

And finally, we catch up with Stephanie Greenwood from Bubble & Bee Organic to discuss the impact of environmental toxins on hormonal imbalances and why we should use chemical-free products in our home and on our bodies.

Did you know that over 80,000 chemicals are currently being used in the United States? What's even scarier is that most of these chemicals haven't even been tested on how they can affect our health. Yet, we have seen the devastating effects of what these chemicals can do to our bodies, with the skyrocketing numbers of chronic illnesses and debilitating diseases.

So, what can we do about it? How can we make sustainable changes and help rid our bodies of these unwanted toxic chemicals? That's what my guests in this three-part series are here to break down for you. That's right we are talking how to Detox & Declutter Your Home, Your Products, Your Skin, and Your Body on the next three episodes of Food Heals.

First up on today's episode, it's "The Toxin Terminator," Aimee Carlson. Aimee is the bestselling author of "The Toxin Terminator: Finding Focus, Energy, and Renewed Health by Removing Toxins," podcast host of "The Toxin Terminator," and a certified Toxicity and Detox specialist. Aimee helps people identify and remove hidden toxins from their bodies, homes, and lives to restore and renew their health!

Then stay tuned for Part 2 where I will be talking with Tonya Harris, Sandee Ferman, and Stephanie Greenwood - all about their advice on detoxing your home and beauty products, and what to use instead.

And finally, in Part 3, we're talking decluttering, air-cleaning plants, and minimalism with Kimberly Van der Beek, Janice McQueen, and Michael Ofei & Maša Ofei!

Today we're back - diving into the world of EMFs, those sneaky invisible energy stressors that come from electrical power, cell phones, Wi-Fi, and our beloved smart devices. In our tech-savvy era, we've got pressing questions: Do EMFs mess with our bodies? And what about our trusty wearables like smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart rings? Are they helping us or harming us?


My guest today is here to answer these questions and more. Today it's part 2 of my interview with Justin Frandson. Justin is not your average coach; he's an Athleticism Performance Coach. Justin isn't your run-of-the-mill coach; he's an Athleticism Performance Coach with over 25 years of experience, working closely with athletes from various sports. He's renowned for his expertise in nerve work for sports performance and his swift, effective concussion treatments.


Justin's journey took a unique twist when he noticed health issues in his patients caused by wearable tech like smartwatches about a decade ago. He realized that everything around us carries a resonance, and he's all about harnessing the power of light, sound, frequency, and vibration to facilitate healing and supercharge performance.


So, what's his solution? It's the EMF Rocks Grounding Bags, available at www.emfrocks.com/FOODHEALSNATION. These bags pack magnetic Tesla crystals designed to tackle EMFs head-on, providing relief from modern technology-related health concerns.


Now, let's talk about these bags. They're not just cool; they're incredibly effective. These Grounding Bags are like the triple threat in the EMF world: they push away EMFs, ground you, and supercharge your body. It's like capturing Earth's positive vibes in a bag, and those magnetic Tesla crystals? They're one-of-a-kind!


And don't forget the Mini Grounding Bag – your pocket-sized EMF guardian. Just toss it in your purse or pocket, and you're good to go. It's got a rock-solid Tesla nugget sealed up for safekeeping.


These Grounding Bags are trusted by doctors nationwide, and they're changing the game in how we coexist with modern technology. So, if you're navigating the tech-heavy world and looking to safeguard your health, check them out!

What are the effects of EMF frequencies, cell phones, Wi-Fi, and smart devices on our bodies? Are wearable technologies such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart rings actually helping us or harming us?

My guest today is here to answer these questions and more. Justin Frandson is not your average coach; he's an Athleticism Performance Coach and the Founder of Athleticism.com and EMFRocks.com. With over 25 years of experience, Justin has worked extensively with athletes in a wide range of sports. He's known for his expertise in nerve work for sports performance and his ability to treat concussions swiftly and effectively.

What sets Justin apart is his unique approach to healing and performance enhancement. He recognizes that everything in our world has a resonance, and he harnesses the power of light, sound, frequency, and vibration to facilitate healing and boost performance. About ten years ago, he noticed that many of his patients were experiencing body breakdowns and negative side effects due to their wearable technology like smart watches.

Justin went on a quest to discover a natural solution, one inspired by the wisdom of nature. The result of his journey? His EMF Rocks Grounding Bags, which you can find at www.emfrocks.com/FOODHEALSNATION. They feature magnetic Tesla crystals to counteract the effects of EMFs and are the antidote to our modern-day technology-related health issues.

What makes these EMF Rocks Grounding Bags stand out are three incredible things: they repel EMFs, they ground you, and they recharge your body. It's like capturing the healing pulse of the earth in a bag. Plus, these bags feature magnetic Tesla crystals that you won't find anywhere else. The result? Deeper sleep, more energy, and a healthier body overall!

What do you do when your pet is struggling with chronic disease and the vets have no answers? Enter Dr. Marty Goldstein whose veterinary approach, known as "integrative medicine," combines the best of both traditional and alternative therapies to maximize our pet health. 


After Dr. Marty lost 20 pounds on a macrobiotic diet, he started treating his veterinary patients with diet, nutrition and alternative modalities. One of Dr. Marty’s patients, a dog named Kaiser, had low energy, difficulty moving, and problems with his skin and coat. Dr. Goldstein put him on a Macrobiotic doggy diet and the results were remarkable.


Kaiser's energy surged, his coat gleamed, and his digestive system regained regularity. Even at 11 years old, Kaiser's best years were ahead of him, thanks to Dr. Marty’s intervention.

And he's been helping pets through his work as a doctor, author and star of the documentary film, The Dog Doc ever since. 


If you missed part one of Dr. Marty’s interview, don't forget go back to episode 439 of Food Heals. Plus - Stick around until the end of this episode, where I'll share the incredible healing stories of my own dogs, Jackson and Charlotte, and how I strive to keep my current beagle, Lily, healthy AF.

Meet Dr. Marty Goldstein, a seasoned veterinarian who's seen a dramatic shift in pet health over the last 25 years. In the past, cancer mainly struck older pets, but now even puppies aren't spared. Dr. Goldstein blames this change on generations of pets raised on lousy diets (yes, kibble, we're looking at you) and constant exposure to chemicals like flea repellents.

The real kicker? Sixty percent of Dr. Goldstein's animal patients come to him with acute illnesses, often after being given up on by other vets who recommend extreme treatments or even euthanasia.

But here's the good news: Dr. Goldstein's unique approach to pet health is changing the game. He can significantly improve the quality of life for 50% of cancer patients and 80% of those with degenerative diseases. How? By going beyond traditional methods and using a blend of herbs, vitamins, supplements, acupuncture, and more. His integrative approach can extend a cancer patient's life by 50% to 60% compared to standard treatments.

You can see Dr. Goldstein's work in action in the documentary "The Dog Doc" and learn more in his books, "The Nature of Animal Healing" and "The Spirit of Animal Healing." He's even sharing his wisdom with the prestigious Cornell University.

Forbes Magazine dubbed him the "Miracle Worker" for his game-changing contributions to veterinary medicine. He's been a guest on national TV shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Martha Stewart Show, and Good Morning America.

Dr. Marty Goldstein is a pioneer, showing us that sometimes the best way to care for our furry friends is by thinking outside the kibble box.

"Fascist, out of touch, crass, privileged, dumb" – just some of the names I was called online yesterday when a very prominent newspaper posted an extremely fear-mongering article about a COVID comeback, basically insinuating we should stay inside over Labor Day weekend.

As you well know, being outside is one of the best things you can do for your mental, emotional, and physical health. So, I posted that maybe, just maybe, we could take into consideration the health benefits of vitamins, vegetables, exercise, and sunshine. The comment section went berserk. My little comment set the internet ablaze. I literally wrote that comment and didn't think twice about it. I went about my day and forgot about it.

So, I'm at the gym this morning, doing the leg machine, listening to a podcast, and the podcast mentioned how the news was starting to fear-monger about staying inside again. I thought, 'Oh yeah, I wonder if anyone responded to my comment.' That's when I saw it. People were going nuts, fighting each other in the comment section under my comment. Some supported what I said, while others attacked me and each other, calling names left and right.

My question is, when the heck did being healthy become so polarizing, and why does it trigger so many people? When did it become normal for the news to act as a medium of fear-mongering rather than as a medium of truth and facts?

Now, I choose not to live in fear. I choose to live in empowerment. I know the body is designed to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so. Don't let your government, your politicians, or your doctors tell you otherwise. Don't buy into the fear. Don't buy into the politicization of health. Politics today just want to define us and divide us.

My goal is to live a long, strong, healthy, joyful life free from chronic degenerative disease. So many people are living in fear and in the expectation that they are going to get sick, that being in a chronic disease state is inevitable or genetic. No, it's not. Nothing is inevitable. You are in control. You have the power to choose health every day.

I have never had COVID. I rarely ever get sick. I've talked to some other people like me who have avoided getting sick this whole time, and I wondered if I knew what my healing protocol is. I have shared it on this show before. I know what works for me, but I was curious – what are the commonalities between me and others who have not gotten sick? So, I wanted to share those with you today.

Tune in to find out my favorite healing must-haves!

First, I'm answering your questions about lab-grown meat, then I am talking to Dr. Deepika Krishna about healing gynecological cancer, and finally I'll be covering one of the most controversial topics of our time and making a very special announcement.


Part 1: What's The Deal with Lab-Grown Meat? With Bruce Friedrich

Lab-grown meat, also known as cultured meat, is a big advancement in making food in a better way. Instead of raising lots of animals on farms, scientists grow just the muscle part of animals in labs. This helps solve problems like hurting animals and harming the environment. Lab-grown meat has great advantages: it can stop animals from suffering on farms, give us healthier meat, and help our planet by causing less pollution and using fewer resources.

Bruce Friedrich is co-founder and executive director of The Good Food Institute (GFI.org), a nonprofit organization that promotes healthy and sustainable alternatives to industrially produced meat, dairy, and eggs. Bruce is the co-author of Clean Protein: The Revolution that Will Reshape Your Body, Boost Your Energy—and Save Our Planet 


Part 2: Taking a Holistic Approach to Gynecological Cancer with Dr. Deepika Krishna

Dr. Deepika Krishna is an Integrative Health Coach and accomplished gynecologist, specializing in supporting people in their journey towards healing from chronic lifestyle ailments while promoting immunity and long-lasting well-being. Her expertise extends to gynecological cancers, and she places a strong emphasis on strengthening the body's defense mechanisms to ward off diseases, including cancer and other persistent health issues.

Driven by personal experience, she embarked on a holistic mission to restore her own health after facing hormonal imbalances that traditional medical approaches couldn't resolve. This profound journey led her to recognize the importance of considering the entire body, rather than just symptoms, allowing her to better guide her patients towards comprehensive wellness. Her commitment to this approach is reflected in her work, aimed at empowering others to achieve optimal health and vitality. Learn more about her holistic approach at https://www.immunosciences.in/health-reset

In today's episode of Food Heals, we delve into the transformative journey of Dr. Marvin Singh, an integrative gastroenterologist who believes in the power of nutritional genetics and gut health to achieve true wellness.

Dr. Singh's Awakening:

A medical doctor struggling with weight issues and early signs of fatty liver disease, Dr. Marvin Singh realized his lack of knowledge about nutrition. To bridge this gap, he pursued an integrative medicine fellowship, discovering a holistic approach that combines conventional methods with nutrition, genetics, and meditation. Within just three months of applying these principles to his life, he shed 40 pounds, a turning point that inspired his path towards helping others heal themselves.

Understanding the Microbiome:

Central to Dr. Singh's approach is the microbiome, the community of friendly bacteria in the gut. Supporting these beneficial bacteria is crucial for optimal well-being, as they influence hormone release and emotional well-being.

Gut Health and Chronic Diseases:

The gut houses 70% of the immune system and plays a vital role in protecting against chronic diseases and autoimmune conditions. Chronic inflammation, triggered by factors like diet, stress, and toxins, can lead to these conditions if left unchecked.

The Power of Nutritional Genetics:

Recognizing that everyone's gut composition is unique, Dr. Singh emphasizes the significance of nutritional genetics in tailoring individual healing approaches. Understanding your genes, microbiome, and food sensitivities helps identify the best-suited diet for you.

Lifestyle Matters:

Beyond nutrition and genetics, lifestyle plays a significant role in wellness. Dr. Singh advises focusing on quality sleep, exercise, stress management, and activities that bring joy.

Check out Dr. Singh’s free e-book, the 4-Week Gut Reset, or send him a message on social media.

After interviewing hundreds who have healed themselves of chronic and degenerative diseases for her film Powered By Plants and podcast Food Heals, Allison now firmly believes that the body has the ability to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so.

You probably remember that I released my book, "Food Heals: Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Stories to Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Health" back in December 2019. It was an anthology filled with inspiring healing stories from amazing people, designed to show readers how our bodies can heal themselves when provided with the right tools. The plan was to kick off a book tour in March 2020 to connect with all of you, but as you can guess, fate had other plans. Just after my first book signing in Orlando, the world went into lockdown mode, and my entire book tour was canceled. It was heartbreaking, but I refused to let that be the end of the journey for "Food Heals"

"Food Heals" is more than just a book to me. It's a passion project that resonates with my belief in the incredible power of healing through food. The book contains a collection of heartfelt stories that speak to the core of the human experience. Just like the beloved "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, "Food Heals" touches upon the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, reminding us all that we are capable of remarkable healing. "Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul" if you will ;)

The pandemic threw a major curveball my way, and it felt like "Food Heals" didn't get the attention and promotion it deserved. But instead of dwelling on the disappointment, I decided to explore new ways to share the book's powerful message. That's when the idea of creating an audio version for Audible struck me, and I couldn't be more excited about it!

Recording and editing the audio version of "Food Heals" has been an amazing journey. As I delve into each story, I feel a renewed sense of connection with the healing power they hold. I wanted to share this experience with all of you, Food Heals Nation, in the most intimate way possible. So, I decided to release each story free for you on The Food Heals Podcast.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, recording and reliving each narrative, but it fills me with immense joy to do it. Every story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the miraculous healing that can occur when we nourish our bodies with the right tools.

In this first "book club episode, I will read Chapters 1-4 of the book:

Chapter 3: You Can Transform Helpless Health Struggles into Vibrant Life and Vitality
