Jen and Dan's Natural Healing with Plants

Jen's Health Story

Jen and Dan Season 1 Episode 1

Jennifer, Wholistic Jen, grew up eating the standard American diet but loved ALL foods and all things concerning health and fitness.  Even after taking graduate level courses, she was still eating foods that she thought were healthy, but later learned they were not healthy for her. She had gestational diabetes with her first child and was shocked.  She had none of the risk factors related to gestational diabetes and couldn't figure out how she could have this disease.  After her second child, she was frustrated that her husband wouldn't eat healthy.  She wanted healthy foods in the home and to set a good example for their kids, so she tricked him into going to the doctor to get a physical with her.  She knew the doctor would tell him he had to change.  Instead...the doctor told him he was the picture of health, and she had something he didn't want to diagnose. She had to go to a specialist.  She was scared and frustrated.  She was an expert in health after all!  Her insurance wouldn't pay for her to go to the recommended specialist and the specialist wouldn't let her pay out of pocket.  Not she was SCARED! What is going on with my body and how?

Jen found a doctor who told her she had an autoimmune disease, there is no cure, and she had to have surgery or radiation.  After refusing those options, he agreed to a chemotherapy.  He said most people don't tolerate it well, and she could only stay on it for 1 to 1 1/2 years. She took the meds and went home and told her husband that she wasn't doing what she's supposed to be doing.  She was teaching math at the time, and she's supposed to be helping people with their health.  They decided to move and start a farm and start healing people with their food and health.  

Jen went in and out of remission.  Moving was stressful and Jen got really sick.  After going in and out of remission, Jen had a car accident and couldn't get her weight or health under control.  Her doctor kept insisting that food and lifestyle have nothing to do with it and even told Jen that she would die if she didn't have radiation.  What Jen's doctor did not tell her was that she was only trading one autoimmune disease for a another one.  Right after radiation, Jen's doctor retired.  

Jen's new doctor was just as frustrated as Jen was that they had not found each other earlier.  Diet and lifestyle had everything to do with autoimmune illness, and while they couldn't go back and undo the radiation, they could use natural methods to reverse the current autoimmune illness.

Jen now works with clients one on one and in groups to help them reverse their illness.  Diet and lifestyle have everything to do with it!

To your health!
