Myriam Lluria Sitterson shares her story, starting with her early years as an immigrant from Havana, Cuba. As a child, she experienced violent reactions to vaccinations, chronic upper respiratory infections, and severe digestive issues. Like many Americans, her diet consisted of cheap, shelf-stable basics like Velveeta and Spam. She was in and out of hospitals and prescribed antibiotics for about three years, which wiped out many of the beneficial bacteria in her microbiome.

Her teenage years weren’t any easier. Menstrual issues, acne, fatigue, and migraines held her back from enjoying life like the rest of her peers. At age 19, she discovered a natural health food store and started her healing journey with a week-long water fast at a wellness retreat. For the first time in her life, she felt free from the toxins trapped in her body. 

Shortly after, she sought out the advice of one of the top gastroenterologists in Miami. When the doctor dismissed her by telling her that she was too young to be experiencing the issues she was going through, she knew she had to find another solution. 

When she started having kids, she finally connected with a pediatrician who affirmed her ideas about the connection between health and nutrition. She cut out wheat, dairy, and sugar for herself and her family, and has only continued to feel better as she ages. 

In this episode, Myriam and I discuss tips for how to create a non-toxic household and lifestyle. She shares her strategies for how she supports herself in terms of the level of toxic exposure in her environment, and how her entire life is structured to support her health. Listen in to hear more about how Myriam is feeling younger while growing older!
