When I was desperately ill, my mom started looking through online resources for any sign of hope. She found Danielle Walker of Against All Grain, and my life changed forever. After six weeks on a paleo diet (actually autoimmune protocol diet), my doctor stated he had never seen such healing. He was completely dumbfounded. Check out Danielle’s incredible story and advice through this link. Her story is extremely close to my own. We have the same disease! We were both really sick newlyweds wondering if we would ever be able to raise a family. We both felt desperate. Lucky for me, I had Danielle and the amazing recipes she created to help me on my health journey.
There’s a lot of fear associated with autoimmune disease, but food can be used to heal and help take control of your symptoms. It can change lives and change the lifestyle of entire families. I’ve seen it, and I’ve lived it. I used to feel so alone at holidays, but I’ve learned I can still host parties and make food for friends and family. My family will now make paleo Thanksgiving and Christmas. While we may have traditional stuffing and casseroles, we always have a paleo option as well. I’m definitely not a chef, but because of the power of food, my life trajectory has been changed forever. It didn’t happen overnight, but check out this video by Danielle to see a little glimpse into her life. Healing is a journey, but it’s possible!
