Peeling the Onion: Discovering the Layers of Health

Are you always sick, fatigued, and don't get the answers you want from western medicine? During the day, you may be tired enough to fall asleep at work. Maybe you should explore other healing modalities. Until we were open to new ways of healing outside the standard care, we were stuck in an unhealthy cycle.  

It comes a time in everyone's life when they realize the importance of putting their health first. Today, we'd like to share our journey with you. The journey to healing is different for each of us, but there are many similarities. Many of us lead unhealthy lives. Due to smoking, caffeine, exposure to toxic mold, environmental and physical toxicity, and eating food that was causing inflammation, we both became ill.

Diagnosed with hormonal imbalances, parasites, asthma, and rapidly growing fibroids, it was time to take control of our health again. Acupuncture, functional medicine, nutrition, and ferments became our go-to treatments. Using our expertise and that of industry experts, we are now able to help you peel back the layers of optimal health. 

We hope sharing our stories will inspire you to take control of your health. It is about finding that moment when you feel like garbage or refuse to accept the status quo. It will be up to you to come up with a process that will help you stay the course and help you be clear enough to follow your intuition and listen to what your body is telling you.

We are excited to share our journey with you today.

We would love to connect with you.  

Let’s Peel the Onion over on Instagram

Today, Nancy and Cheryl Talk to Meghan about her journey to vibrant health. Like many people, Meghan had her own health crisis that landed her in a position of needing to take responsibility for her own health. She wasn't finding answers in the specialists and doctors she was seeing. 

Meghan spent time around her apartment and realized she wasn’t spending much time in the kitchen. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that led her down the path of holistic nutrition. Her healing journey inspired her to help others on this path to healing with nutrition.

She now is a number one best-selling author for her book Undiet and the Undiet Cookbook and has opened her own Academy of Culinary Nutrition.
