In this week’s episode of the @morethanyourweightpodcast, I’m joined by the amazing Cristina Curp of @thecastawaykitchen to talk all about understanding and healing your body with food!
Cristina Curp is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and former restaurant chef with a BA in Anthropology. Her love of food, and particularly using real food to heal inspired her popular food blog and wellness site, TheCastawayKitchen.com. Author of Made Whole cookbook, co-host of Body Wise Podcast and food as medicine advocate. She is a Miami native with Cuban roots who is currently living in Virginia, or wherever her husband’s Navy career takes them.
At 29 years old and 2 years postpartum, Cristina hit rock bottom with her health. On top of an inflammatory skin condition she had lived with for years, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, she began to experience many mystery symptoms and inflammation, Cristina took to the kitchen to find wellness. Using her culinary prowess and love of research, she began to discover the connection between her symptoms and the food she ate. This ongoing experiment birthed her blog, which is a collection of inventive, allergen-friendly, low carb, whole-food recipes that have helped her reverse autoimmune disease, lose weight, and take control of her own health and well-being. Now she helps others do the same!
In this episode, you will learn about:
Cristina’s story in struggling with an autoimmune condition and how she used food to heal her body
What is an elimination diet or protocol and why do one
How there is no manual for our bodies (especially when it comes to food) and how we have to be willing to experiment and learn what works for our UNIQUE body best
The role hormones play in your body’s immune system, digestion, inflammation, energy, vitality, weight and so much more
How you can connect with Cristina on her blog, social and in her programs
