“FOOD IS YOUR MEDICINE” are the exact words I heard and felt as clear as day August 17, 2023. I had been up since 4 am, sitting outside by the lake in Island Park, doing everything I could to calm down my body and my brain from the hard symptoms I was experiencing. It was so quiet and the lake was completely still, yet my whole body and mind felt as if a terrible storm was going on inside. My nervous system felt as if it could explode. I sat and tried to breathe slowly and focus on the beautiful surroundings all around me. I tried fishing to take my mind off of things. I snapped a picture and even that beautiful view you see above wasn’t enough to calm my soul. I sat and cried with frustration as this was just one of the many times I had experienced these terrible symptoms. Why am I going through this suffering? Why does this have to be so stinking hard? Yet through the tears and frustration, in that very moment, God showed up. He told me something that would change EVERYTHING on my healing journey. “Food is your medicine” sunk deep into my heart and I felt and knew right then and there He was giving me another piece to the puzzle. He was giving me my next step to heal. So I took those words and I didn’t just try them on for size, I ran with them like my whole life depended on it(which in a sense, it kind of did!).

At this point I had already eliminated gluten to help calm my gut (I am not allergic or celiac but this was recommended by Clare since gluten is highly inflammatory for everyone).This was so my gut could rest and heal from all of the infections and parasites I was tackling. Removing gluten from my diet felt SO hard. I had no idea what was coming though….

I knew in that moment on the lake, God was teaching me something big about food. I needed to listen! I instantly removed all sugar, dairy and processed foods from my diet as I had learned these were highly inflammatory foods for everyone. None of these things hurt my stomach to eat, but within two weeks I would see that my nervous system and brain would finally find the relief that it so desperately needed. I knew instantly God was right, there really is something to this food thing!Cont in comm..
