It Might Be Your Pancreas

Pancreatitis is a confusing painful disease. Learn about root causes of diseases and symptoms that lead to and trigger pancreatitis and other digestive issues, including IBS; gallbladder dysfunction; depression; anxiety; food sensitivities; intolerances and allergens; food and other toxicities; hormone imbalances; addictions; immune system burdens from childhood and other viruses (like STDs); bacterial, parasitic, yeast, mold, and other exposures; concussions; cellular starvation; and burnout.

Our relationships with food and our environment are uncovered in this book. I introduce simple hand tools and mindfulness techniques to regain energy and manage pain daily while managing menacing stomach and bowel issues that prevent an enjoyable, productive life. If you love to learn about the human body and to know how things work, you will enjoy the second half of the book, as I dive deeper to make connections with a new way of thinking about the importance of food and the functioning body.

This Italian girl shares how she was held hostage to food, medicine, religion, and traditions. My personal experiences as a nurse, stay-at-home mother, mom of a military member, and longtime family caregiver, and lifestyle as wife of a surgeon, along with the frustration of conventional medicine approaches to treatment, are intertwined throughout the book. As a new grandmother, I encourage these practices more and hope that you will use this book as a reference and pathway to find a new world of healing. Please hear how functional holistic nutrition and medicine saved my life and may save yours!
