Years ago, whispers and rumors circulated about the FDA allowing food companies to put harmful ingredients into our food, but people dismissed it as a conspiracy theory. Now, many are speaking aloud about those once-dismissed concerns. I began to see my neighbors, family, and friends—some younger than me— fall ill. That’s when it hit me: I needed to do something. Everyone already comes to me for health advice, so I wrote this book. Although I would never suggest anyone denounce the medical field—after all, it has come a long way—I do believe in incorporating modern and holistic remedies into our lives.
