Elizabeth breaks down the three-factor framework (from Dr. Alessio Fasano's celiac research) behind nearly every autoimmune and inflammatory condition: an external trigger, genetic predisposition, and leaky gut. They dig into how "hidden" inflammation shows up differently for everyone — as headaches, brain fog, joint pain, digestive issues, and more — and why obesity and many chronic conditions are increasingly understood as inflammatory, not moral or willpower failures. The conversation also covers: Why food sensitivity reactions can take up to 4 days to show symptomsThe truth behind "natural flavors," citric acid, and other misleading label termsHow US food regulation compares to Europe's stricter ingredient standardsPractical, budget-friendly tips for eating cleaner (including the Clean 15 / Dirty Dozen)How diet transformed Elizabeth's own multiple sclerosis journey and her son's healthThe historical roots of America's pharmaceutical-first medical system (Rockefeller, Carnegie, and the Flexner Report)Why most medical research has historically excluded women Elizabeth also shares where to take her free inflammation quiz, explore her cookbook Glorious One Pot Meals, and tune into her podcast, The Inflammation Investigator.

Heather shares her powerful journey from 20 years in corporate to discovering her calling after a 1 AM wake-up call that changed everything.

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 which brought me the gift of deeply reconnecting with myself and nature, re-discovering the healing power of plants. In 2017, I left my 29 year career in financial services to become a teacher and mentor, traveling around the world to educate others on the inherent healing properties found in nature. Once 2019 came around, I started Nature Provides, whose mission is to transform health and well-being through organic plant-based herbs and essential oils. By collaborating with nature, we can create a healthy thriving world and a sustainable earth.
