#060: Hypernourish & Reverse Disease with Dr. Brooke Goldner

In this episode, we dive into the #1 episode from 2024, where Dr. Brooke Goldner shares her life-changing approach to reversing autoimmune diseases through hyper-nourishing your body. Autoimmune diseases, affecting over 800 million people globally, are often tied to inflammation, with many conditions ending in "-itis" (e.g., arthritis, dermatitis). Conventional treatments, like steroids, provide short-term relief but can lead to harmful side effects. Dr. Goldner's approach, however, addresses the root cause of these diseases by nourishing the body with the proper nutrients and healing support. This episode is particularly close to the host's heart, as this protocol helped her reverse her own health issues five years ago.

Dr. Goldner, the author of Goodbye Lupus and Goodbye Auto-Immune Disease, emphasizes how crucial it is to address not only nutrition but also stress, mindset, and overall lifestyle to achieve lasting health. Through her hyper-nourishing protocol, she has helped countless people reverse autoimmune conditions and live fuller, healthier lives.

Takeaways:

1. You Control Your Health

   • Your genetics aren't the only factor in autoimmune disease; nutrition plays a huge role, and you have control over that. You can reverse chronic disease by nourishing your body properly and addressing your mental and emotional well-being.

2. Chronic Disease is Man-Made, But We Can Undo It

   • Chronic disease can be reversed with commitment to proper nourishment, dealing with stress, and working through emotional issues like forgiveness. This holistic approach is necessary for real healing.

3. Focus on the Future, Not Fear

   • We can’t always control how our bodies feel, but we can control where we focus our energy. Shift your focus from fear of illness to excitement about the future and everything you’re going to accomplish.

4. Health is Like a Storm

   • Health issues don’t just appear suddenly; they are the result of many contributing factors—nutrition, stress, trauma, infections, etc. These all come together to create a storm that leads to disease. Healing requires addressing all these factors.

5. Positive Environment and Mindset Matter

   • A peaceful home environment can be a major factor in long-term health. Surround yourself with love and peace, especially in raising children. This will set them up for a healthy future.

6. Decide Your Story

   • Even if doctors give you a dismal prognosis, you have the power to decide your story. Choose to believe in overcoming the odds and living a full life. Rewrite your narrative and go after your dreams.

7. Anxiety is a Made-Up Story

   • Anxiety stems from imagining what could go wrong. Balance this by imagining what could go right. Stay grounded in the present and use your senses to find peace, joy, and gratitude.

8. Shifting Your Mindset on Food

   • Unhealthy food is like an addiction, not something to be loved. Shift your mindset to view unhealthy foods as harmful substances and stop craving them. When you nourish your body with the right foods, your cravings will disappear.

9. Find Your “Why”

   • Discover your deep motivation for healing, and let it drive you to change. A compelling reason for healing makes the journey easier and more meaningful.

10. When You Hear the Music, Dance

    • Embrace the moment, let go of stress, and just dance! Life is about being present and finding joy in every opportunity.

Closing Note: This episode is all about taking control of your health, nourishing your body, mind, and spirit, and living a life full of hope and joy despite any health challenges. The wisdom shared by Dr. Goldner serves as a reminder that with the right mindset and commitment, healing is within reach.
