She CURED Her Auto-Immune Disease Eating This One Thing | Mikhaila Peterson


Listen Later

Is it really possible to reverse lifelong autoimmune disease with one radical dietary change? Over 24 million Americans suffer from autoimmune conditions, and many more are told there’s no cure. But what if that’s not entirely true? 


In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Mikhaila Peterson Fuller– popular health influencer, founder of the Lion Diet, and daughter of world-renowned psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson– to explore how she put a lifetime of chronic illness, inflammation, depression, and joint replacements into remission by eating only one food. 


From arthritis at age 7 to multiple joint surgeries and battling severe depression, Mikhaila’s story is one of relentless suffering, radical transformation, and shocking revelations about how food affects the body and mind. Today, she shares how she used a meat-only diet to heal.


In this episode, you’ll discover: 


  • How Mikhaila overcame autoimmune disease, childhood illness, and psychiatric misdiagnoses
  • Why beef was the only food her body could tolerate– and how it changed everything
  • How the Lion Diet works and why thousands of people are turning to it for relief from autoimmunity and inflammation. 
  • The surprising role of SSRI withdrawal, chronic fatigue, and mismanaged infections in long-term illness
  • The role that mold, gut health, and environmental toxins play in hidden chronic disease
  • Which therapies, tools, and practices helped her reclaim her health beyond diet

  • If you’ve struggled with symptoms that doctors can’t explain, if you’ve tried “everything” and nothing’s worked, or if you’re simply curious about the cutting edge of autoimmune healing, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with real hope, fresh insight, and a deeper understanding of how the body, mind, and spirit are connected– and how to begin your healing journey today. 


    Tune in now and discover how one woman rewrote the rules of recovery and why her story might hold the key to yours.
