How Going Whole Food Plant-Based Transformed My Health and Life

Through a combination of juice cleanses, enemas, and a high raw diet, I was able to eliminate psoriasis flare-ups and experience overall glowing skin. The key is knowing what triggers your body and fine-tuning your diet. This journey has inspired me to become a health educator and help others thrive on a whole food plant-based diet.
