I realised I was eating spiritual junk food and I was starving - the five things I changed

Author Amy Seiffert realised she wasn’t feeding herself with spiritually nourishing things. Here she explains five things she did to make a positive change.

We needed someone to hold our hands. We had never heard or seen anyone else doing this diet. But if we were going to put Crohn’s disease into remission for my son, we were willing to try. Because he had been eating, but he was starving.

After my oldest son was diagnosed, we decided to swap out the food that was starving him—causing painful inflammation—for different nourishing foods. We found a meal plan that held our hand along the way, guiding us every step. By day three on the plan? His pain was gone, and he was in remission.
