What if those "incurable" autoimmune conditions that left you struggling for years could actually be improved—or even healed—through strategic nutrition and lifestyle changes? DeeDee Mehren's journey proves it's possible.

After suffering for nine years with mysterious symptoms that doctors couldn't solve, DeeDee was finally diagnosed with four autoimmune diseases and the medical establishment told her these conditions were permanent. Yet through her own research and determination, she managed to heal three of them completely.

This conversation unveils the real reasons why so many of us—particularly women—struggle with chronic health issues despite our best efforts. DeeDee brilliantly explains how the conventional wisdom around nutrition often leads us astray. From the shocking truth about grazing to the unexpected ways certain "healthy" foods might be spiking your blood sugar, we explore how seemingly innocent habits might be sabotaging your health.

We dive into the science of autoimmunity, addressing why 80% of autoimmune patients are women, and the troubling statistic that it typically takes five years to receive a proper diagnosis. DeeDee shares her four-pillar approach to holistic wellness that addresses the whole person, not just symptoms. She offers practical guidance for optimizing protein intake, managing blood sugar, implementing strategic fasting, and navigating the hormonal challenges of perimenopause.

Whether you're battling unexplained health issues, hitting a weight loss plateau despite doing "everything right," or simply want to optimize your health as you age, this episode delivers actionable insights to help you feel truly nourished and energized. Prepare to reclaim your power over your health and discover that healing is possible—even when conventional medicine says otherwise.
