What You Will Learn From This Episode:

My wife Jenn is a warrior. Soon after having a successful VBAC birth and breast feeding, she developed several infections which left her defeated. Just when things couldn’t get much worse, her chronic illness, ulcerative colitis showed its ugly face! Being the fighter that she is, Jenn is taking on her illness with medical drugs and an amazingly intense food program that she discovered after reading a positon paper from Dr. Joel Fuhrman. In this episode, Jenn will share how she got where she is, what she is doing to try and get out of it, and several other bits of knowledge in hopes to inspire others working through a chronic illness of their own.

Our family has done everything it can to help her through this journey and I hope that if you know someone suffering from any chronic illness, that you will do the same. Our family includes friends, relatives and even folks through facebook that we have never met that send messages of support. Jenn will make it through this, but just like Dr. Furhman’s paper says, “aggressive dietary modifications hold the key to relief and recovery.”

Here is a quick video of our family making Dr. Furhman’s green juice he recommends in his position paper:
