Breaking Up with Chocolate (Again)

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP I didn’t want to believe it. Chocolate was my favorite. My comfort, my daily ritual, my antioxidant-rich, heart-healthy, metabolism-boosting, supposedly healing food. Until it wasn’t. If you’ve ever been told to give up your favorite food for a few weeks, or forever, you feel my pain. But sometimes, the foods…

Nutrition Gurus Didn’t Help My Autoimmune Condition, I Had to Start Listening to My Gut (Literally)

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP I started studying health and nutrition, because I was obsessed with understanding how the body works. The real mechanisms. I wanted to understand how people who lived “healthy” lives still got diseases like cancer (The only autoimmune disease I had heard about was AIDS, at the time).…

Daily Detox Done Right

Why Autoimmune Recovery Starts in Your Kitchen (Not a Doctor’s Office) By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP Let me guess, you’ve been told that you don’t need to “detox,” because you have a liver. Right? That your liver is a filter that keeps you safe from whatever garbage you eat, breathe, or slather…

What Triggered My Latest Autoimmune Flare (And How I Recovered Faster This Time)

All of a sudden, I realized I was going into an autoimmune flare. At first, I thought I was just reacting to a bug bite. My ear swelled up and turned red. It was painful to the touch. Then the lymph nodes under my ear and down my neck became sore and visibly swollen. I…

Nutrition Myths My Textbooks Taught Me And How I Reversed My Autoimmune Disease

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP I knew early on that I wanted to teach people how to take care of their body, but I didn’t know what that would look like. Health coaches didn’t exist 25 years ago, and I didn’t want to teach a health class or work in a gym…

Are “Health Foods” Making You Sick?

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP Let’s just be honest: I used to fall for the packaging, the labels, and the health halo that so many “plant-based” products wear so well. (Actually…, occasionally, I STILL get duped!) Oat milk in the fridge? Check. Almond yogurt? Check. Gluten-free crackers with Himalayan salt? Of course.…

How My Autoimmune Diagnosis Saved Me

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP Most people don’t think of a diagnosis as a gift. But for me, my autoimmune diagnosis was the very thing that saved my life. I don’t mean that lightly. It didn’t feel like a blessing at first. I was SCARED. What do you mean I have an…

Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself, And What Colorful Food Has to Do With It

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP If you’ve been struggling with low energy, hormone craziness, chronic inflammation, or digestive issues that seems to have no clear cause, you’re not alone. Have you’ve tried cutting out gluten? Sugar? Dairy? Meat? Or even lectins, oxalates, …? AND… you still don’t know what to eat?! Maybe…

What’s Love Got To Do With Healing From Autoimmune Disease?

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP When we think of healing from autoimmune disease, we often picture strict elimination diets, specific supplements, and maybe a stack of functional lab results. All the things! And while food, herbs, and detective work all have their place (and trust me, I love digging in to get…

Why I Eat Raw Vegetables Every Day (You Might Want to Start, Too)

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP I’ve eaten a giant rainbow salad almost every day for over a decade. Not because I’m trying to be perfect. Not because I’ve got time to Instagram my lunch (though they are gorgeous, AND I do get paid using the Plantee App). I do it because raw…
