My journey from California to Michigan, and finally to the bustling streets of New York City, is a tale of transformation. I went from eating Nutella and crackers to savoring Michelin-starred cuisine, all while building what seemed like a picture-perfect life. But beneath (and on) the surface, something was really wrong.

For years, I battled with severe eczema, a condition that worsened dramatically during my time in NYC. It wasn't just a skin issue; it affected my whole being, leaving me feeling isolated and desperate for a solution. I tried everything from Western medicine to Eastern practices, but nothing seemed to work. After a certain point, I gave up. I felt hopeless about my situation. I knew that even if there was a miracle drug out there, it probably wouldn't actually heal me because I’d be dependent on that drug for the rest of my life. 

THE CONVERSION

Then came a turning point. A co-worker introduced me to celery juice and the Medical Medium approach. Highly skeptical but hopeful, I dove in. I bought a cheap juicer on Amazon and started juicing for the first time in my life. Before this, I used to think juicing was a hoax, but there I was juicing my first batch of celery. I started to read ingredient labels for the first time too. I stopped purchasing food based on packaging designs and instead based on its contents. 

To my amazement, I began to see positive changes. I couldn't believe that the answer was this simple - be natural. It blew my mind that there was no magic drug, and there shouldn't be because our bodies need food from this earth.  My entire ethos changed and I couldn't be more grateful. 

This experience opened my eyes to the power of natural healing and sparked a passion for holistic health that would change my life's direction.
