198 Allison Melody: How Food Heals

May 15, 2018

We're all different. We all have different blood types, DNA, heritage, and the food that grows in one neighborhood is different than somewhere else. So, we have to eat what's best for us and that's a self-discovery journey that we all have to go on. There is no perfect diet. - Allison Melody 

How can elimination diets, detoxes, and trying new foods lead you on a self-discovery journey to healing your body?

Power Quotes From The Show

[tweetthis]"Fitness or nutrition challenges can actually feed addictive personalities and perfectionism rather than help people create a healthier lifestyle. It's about finding a balance." - Allison Melody of @FoodHealsNation http://bit.ly/wfpodcast[/tweetthis]

"Everyone's rock bottom is different, but it doesn't matter because once you hit that point, you finally realize that you have to make a change. My rock bottom was when my father was sick and I was afraid of losing him. What I realized through that process was that I could only change myself; I can't help someone else until they want to help themselves." - Allison Melody

"Where are the lobbies for healthy, fresh food because right now we're in a space in which you have to follow the money and that's controlled by big pharmacy and agriculture companies. When those companies are controlling what you see, believe, and eat, then you don't know how to look outside the bubble that you're in. That's how it was for my parents and for so many people today. I want to help people break out of their bubble." - Allison Melody

"When you do an elimination diet, you can see what your body is feeling better about. Many people don't realize that they may have specific sensitivities to foods like avocado. So, we may think we're doing something right by eating it, but then we feel ill because the body is sensitive to that particular food. Once you discover that, you can change your diet accordingly to your needs. Everyone's diet is different; even my dietary needs are totally different than yours." - Allison Melody

"It didn't matter if I was drinking green juice every day, my emotions were reeking havoc on my body. These negative emotions can chronically lead to disease if we don't deal with them. So, I had to start dealing with them through a meditation practice, inner child work, therapy, and counseling. I had to discover all of these healing modalities for healing my emotions and feelings. When we feel our feelings, it creates space to release and heal. It creates more space for greater things in our lives and happiness. When we push it all down, that's the tragedy that may cause cancer before all of the processed food does." - Allison Melody

"I'm also evolving in my own health journey. I've been able to overcome some of my own things and so can you. We're all always evolving, always changing, and always trying to improve ourselves. I'm constantly trying to better myself, get more knowledge, and be stronger in my convictions." - Allison Melody

At the age of 26, Allison endured the devastating loss of both her parents to cancer after long and challenging battles.

She watched in disbelief as doctors prescribed drug after drug, observed her parents’ hair fall out, their rapidly aging faces, and their exceedingly diminishing vitality. The tragedy instilled in her an unwavering
