I was born into the Standard American Dream with a beautiful loving family & white picket fence lifestyle. I Immediately had a hard time being human & suffered from “colic” until my mama gave up dairy. I had a “normal” childhood: attended public school, recieved my artificial immunity, ate the Standard American Diet, watched lots of TV, had friends, played sports, & felt loved by extended family. I was a happy kid despite the health issues already arising, like bad stomach pains after eating, at one point so bad my parents took me to the ER just for

me to pass gas 20 minutes later & feel much better.

Things changed rapidly in my teenage years. I struggled with big emotions, bad acne, depression, bulimia, anorexia, self harm/isolation & butting heads with my parents. By age 16 I was drinking, smoking & had attempted suicide. I saw many therapist & was given different medications that didn’t help. Physical illness was my normal, I often had something wrong, either a runny nose, cough, or sore throat.

By age 21 I had attempted suicide 2 more times, spent two different weeks in a mental hospital, 21 days in rehab for alcohol & attended a 6 month outpatient program. I was on 5 medications: adderall every morning, sleeping pill every night, antibiotics for acne, mood stabilizer & one for low thyroid the doctor said I would be on the rest of my life.

By age 23 I felt miserable & hopeless. I was getting weekly bladder infections, still struggling with acne, constantly sick with a cough, runny nose or sore throat, having breathing problems, moon cycle problems, intense indigestion/heartburn & overall feeling like I was dying. The doctors only solution was more pills that led to more symptoms. I was sick & tired of being sick & tired & I decided I had to take my health into my own hands.

I turned my health around by changing what I ate, what I drank & my mindset. I have found inner trauma & emotional work to be just as important as upgrading what I consume. Now, at age 35, I am off all medications

& my thyroid levels are normal. I feel healthy, I am rarely sick & when I do get sick it’s much milder & shorter.

​

I know what it’s like to feel like I am on my death bed, to do the hard work of making changes and what it’s like to THRIVE. It became clear one of my paths on earth is to help as many humans transition from surviving to thriving. I have written books, hosted health events, made YouTube videos & went live from the kitchen hundreds of times. I’ve touched thousands of lives by sharing my story & my creations.

On my healing journey, I spent 8 years as a single mama of 2 wonderful boys. After even more inner work, today I am married to the most wonderful man and we have a beautifully blended family with one tiny human of our own!

What I offer on this website are recipes & products that helped me heal on my journey. I am ever evolving & therefore so is this passion project. I look forward to adding more products and recipes throughout the remainder of my journey. May you feel the inspiration & raw power to save your own life like I saved mine.

With Love, Anne Elizabeth Garcia
