069: "Now I'm free from pain and inflammation": Kate

When Kate's brother passed away in his 40s from cancer, Kate felt so powerless. The acute stress triggered a physical response in her body, and her work and lifestyle made it worse.
She was eating more and more processed foods... and of course, sugar!

Her joint pain, swelling and brain fog got so bad that she went to see her doctor. He sent her for some tests, but the symptoms continued.

So Kate decided to do some research herself. She discovered the auto-immune protocol (AIP), which removes potentially inflammatory foods such as grains, dairy and legumes. And sugar of course, which is one of the most inflammatory foods.

Within days, Kate started to feel better: her joints stopped aching, her swelling went down, and her brain fog cleared.
It was amazing! She felt much better... but she also had to re-learn how to cook with non-inflammatory ingredients. So she started to create new recipes and now she's a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, a Certified AIP Coach, a Certified Gluten Practitioner, a trained Chef and a cookbook author.
