28. Living with Ulcerative Colitis: Danielle Walker's Story of Health, Recovery and Advocacy
Becoming your fiercest advocate is your most vital tool when faced with serious health concerns. This week, I’m joined by Danielle Walker, a New York Times bestselling author whose newest cookbook, Make It Easy, is set to release on Sept. 10. We sat down to discuss her nearly 20-year journey with ulcerative colitis, how following a paleo, gluten-free, and grain-free diet has helped cushion symptoms, and her relatable advice for parents struggling to introduce their kids to healthy eating.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The Importance of Being Your Own Health Advocate: Learn to trust your feelings and push back if you want additional testing done or clarity on a proposed treatment.
How Elimination Diets Can Bring Relief: For Walker, eliminating high-inflammatory foods like dairy, grains, and legumes served as an effective way to manage her symptoms of ulcerative colitis.
How to Cook for Your Family When You Have Dietary Restrictions: Walker swears by making crowd-pleasing recipes that are better-for-you versions of classic comfort foods.
How to Build a Healthy Foundation for Kids: Show your children how delicious healthy eating can be, without villainizing their favorite foods.
