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…

Cooking at Home Can Be Kitchen Medicine for Autoimmune Healing

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP You’re sick and tired of trying to figure out what to eat. You’ve tried the elimination diets. You’ve cut out gluten, dairy, soy, maybe all grains. Maybe you’ve even tried the AIP. You’ve read all the blogs, filled your supplement drawer (or WHOLE cabinet, if you’re like me), and you…

I’m Done Playing Nice: Why I Make My Own Yogurt (And You Should Too)

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP I’m going to be honest—I’m angry. Angry that I spent two mornings and two hours of my life reading label after label on dairy-free yogurts… and came home empty-handed on a recent weekend away. Not a single one fit my food guidelines. Every single container of so-called “clean” yogurt was…

Why Are You Afraid To Eat That?

By Jennifer Whitmire, MS, MEd, MH, CHES, NEP Have you ever felt paralyzed in the grocery store? What can I eat? Is there anything left that won’t hurt me? Is this tomato in my hand going to hurt me, because they are a nightshade or have lectins? Is it okay to eat something with almonds,…
