Diagnosed in 1998, Heather lived with severe rheumatoid arthritis for twenty years before entering a prescription-free remission several years ago. She is in her mid-forties now and in the best health of her life thanks to many wellness practices, not the least of which is a whole foods, plant-based diet that is mostly vegan. While she is by no means a medical expert, and she forgets the sciencey explanation as soon as she finishes reading an article, she does not forget how to apply wellness tips to heal her mind and body. If you’re curious about addressing possible underlying causes of your autoimmune disease, message her with questions. She can be a friend (or sister ????) on your journey to being your healthiest self.
