This week, we’re switching gears and diving into a story that’ll seriously light a fire under your healing journey.
I’m chatting with Ethan Pompeo—PANDAS warrior, founder of Green Valley Nutrition, and all-around baddy—who turned years of autoimmune struggle into a mission to help others.
From teen turmoil to purpose-driven entrepreneur, Ethan’s journey is raw, real, and ridiculously inspiring. Trust me, you’ll want to hear every word. 💥

You’re eating the meals, skipping the cheese, and saying no to the breadbasket—so when do the magic results start rolling in? In this episode of The Autoimmune Edible Rx, I’m answering the question I get asked all the time: “How long does it take to feel better when eating Flare Free?”
Spoiler: it depends on more than just your grocery list. I’m breaking down the six factors that impact your healing timeline, sharing client wins, and telling the truth about what really worked for me.
If you're wondering whether this anti-inflammatory thing is even worth it, this episode is your wake-up call.
