The Truth About “Healthy” Foods: What We’ve Been Told vs. What Truly Heals

I have been passionate about food for as long as I can remember. It’s one of the main reasons I chose not to pursue my M.D. — because the traditional medical curriculum includes only about six hours of nutrition. Even then, it’s often taught through the lens of calories, macronutrients, and pharmaceuticals — not healing, vitality, and energy. I’ve always known food to be the foundation. It was through food that my own healing began.

But as I started to learn and research more deeply, what I discovered both surprised and upset me. The deeper I looked, the more I saw how much of what we’ve been told about “healthy” eating isn’t rooted in truth — but in transaction, tradition, marketing, and misunderstanding.

We’ve been conditioned to believe:

* Eggs are for protein.

* Dairy is for calcium.

* Meat is for iron.

But what if the very foods we’ve been told to trust are quietly keeping us stuck — fueling fatigue, inflammation, and the very symptoms we’re trying so hard to heal?

Just because something is labeled healthy doesn’t mean it supports healing.

So much of what we’ve accepted as “nutrition” has been distorted by trends and industry interests. In chasing the latest diet or superfood, we’ve drifted away from what the body truly craves: cleansing, nourishment, and simplicity.

When We Stop Feeding What Weakens Us

Here’s what I’ve seen time and time again — both in my own journey and in the women I work with:

When we remove health-hindering foods like eggs, dairy, gluten, canola oil, and processed fats, something incredible happens:

✨ Energy returns.

✨ Skin clears.

✨ Digestion balances.

✨ The mind feels light again.

It’s not about limitation — it’s about liberation.

When we stop feeding what weakens us, we make space for what strengthens us.

This is where true healing begins.

The Truth About Eggs

For years, we’ve been told that eggs are the “perfect food” — rich in protein and nutrients. But the truth is, they’re one of the most misunderstood. Eggs are high in fat and cholesterol, which can burden the liver and slow the body’s natural cleansing processes. More importantly, they actually feed pathogens — the very microbes that underlie so many chronic symptoms and conditions.

Decades ago, viruses were cultured on egg proteins in laboratories. Since then, eggs have become one of the easiest food sources for pathogens to thrive on inside the body. When pathogens are well-fed, they create inflammation, disrupt digestion, and trigger the cascade of symptoms that so many people experience daily. Letting go of eggs isn’t about restriction — it’s about protection. It’s giving your body the chance to cleanse, restore, and return to its natural state of radiance.

The Truth About Dairy

Dairy is another food we’ve been taught to see as essential — especially for strong bones. But here’s the irony: dairy actually weakens them. The calcium in dairy isn’t as bioavailable as we’ve been led to believe. In fact, the high fat and protein content in dairy creates acidity in the body. To neutralize that acidity, the body draws calcium out of the bones — leading to the very depletion we’re trying to prevent.

Beyond that, dairy can clog the lymphatic system, burden the liver, and create inflammation that manifests as acne, congestion, bloating, and hormonal imbalance. The truth is, you can get all the calcium and minerals your body needs — and actually absorb them — from fruits, leafy greens, and vegetables. These living foods carry the kind of calcium your body recognizes and uses to build true strength, vitality, and resilience.

The Great Irony

It’s wild, isn’t it? The very foods that help us heal are the ones we’ve been told to avoid. And the foods we’ve been told to eat — the so-called “healthy staples” — often hinder our healing. Fruits, for example, are among the most powerful healing, cleansing, and nourishing foods on the planet. They hydrate, restore, and energize the body with life force, glucose, and minerals.

Yet for decades, we’ve been taught to fear them — to see fruit sugar as “bad.” This is how disconnected we’ve become from the intelligence of nature — and from our own bodies. When we remember the simplicity of truth — that real, living foods heal — everything changes. 🌿

The Truth Heals

Your body already knows the truth.

All it’s waiting for is your willingness to listen.

When you reconnect to your body, healing becomes simple.

When you nourish with foods that support health rather than hinder it, radiance becomes inevitable.
