Gutsy: The Food-Mood Method to Revitalize Your Health Beyond Conventional Medicine

With a diagnosis of lupus in her mid-30's, Nan Foster, set out to find natural methods of relieving the pain, numbness, and brain fog she experienced. Turning down steroids and ultimately discovering the root cause of her symptoms and diagnosis in a food sensitivity and in emotional stress, Nan made simple adjustments to her diet and lifestyle and found relief. For chronic conditions with such symptoms as inflammation, pain, and digestive issues, physicians are frequently quick to diagnose without looking deeper for the cause.
