In Part 2 of my gut healing journey, I’m diving deeper into why gut health is the foundation of overall wellness and how small changes can lead to big transformations.

If you’re struggling with skin issues, digestion problems, or even anxiety, your gut could be the missing link!

My gut healing journey started back in 2021. At the time, we had been working with a functional medicine practitioner for about a year to help one of our children, and we were successfully putting their epilepsy into remission by detoxing their body from all sorts of toxins—bacteria, mold, heavy metals, etc. (That’s a powerful story for another time!) But through that process, I became fully convinced of the benefits of functional medicine—which focuses on identifying the root cause of health issues rather than just masking symptoms with pharmaceuticals.

For years, I struggled with dyshidrotic eczema — painful, itchy blisters on my hands that no doctor could fully explain or heal. I tried creams, steroids, elimination diets, and nothing gave lasting relief. What I didn't know then is that my skin was trying to tell me something about my gut health — and that God's design for whole, unprocessed foods would be the key to my healing journey
