21 | Food Labels Used to Terrify Me: Here's What I Wish Someone Had Taught Me

There was a time when I would stand in the aisles of the grocery store, crying and feeling completely overwhelmed. I was turning boxes over and Googling ingredients like my son's life depended on it—because, honestly, it felt like it did.

After his diagnosis at only two years old, I became hyper-aware of every label and every sneaky ingredient. I even found myself digging through trash cans at family dinners and get-togethers with friends—just to make sure I knew exactly what he was eating—because I didn’t know how else to keep him safe.

In this episode, I’m sharing a raw and real look at what it was like to navigate food labels for the first time—plus why they can be so misleading (I'll tell you what natural flavors might really mean).  🤮

There are a lot of things the food industry doesn’t want you to know but I believe it's important for you to be informed and confident when it comes to your food choices.

I also share the scripture that helped me break free from fear and overwhelm when it came to keeping my son and family safe as I continued to deepen my understanding of what we're really eating.

If you’ve ever felt confused or anxious about what’s in your food, this episode will meet you with honesty, a little humor, and a whole lot of hope.

If you know someone who has recently had a diagnosis or been told they need to "eat better" but they are feeling overwhelmed in the process - please share this episode with them!
