72 - How to Save Yourself with Bestselling Author Danielle Walker

When Danielle Walker was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, physicians told her that her illness could be well-managed with medication. But Danielle’s symptoms didn’t go away. In fact, flare-ups caused her to lose a lot of weight, and she required frequent hospitalizations.

Ultimately, she decided to change her diet — even though doctors said doing so wouldn't improve her symptoms. Her diet changes ultimately saved her. 

But she found herself struggling to stick to her diet changes because the food didn't taste all that good. So she experimented with new recipes until she discovered how to create delicious food that met her dietary requirements.

There was such a demand for her recipes that she wrote a cookbook. And her book became a bestseller. 

Now, she shares how to find the courage to save yourself. Whether you're looking for alternative strategies to manage your depression or you want to take a holistic approach to managing your chronic pain, Danielle has some great strategies that could help you discover what works best for you.
