20 | Healing Crohn’s Disease and Helping Kids be Adventurous Eaters with Kayla Mangione

Kayla Mangione of the @thefamilyfoodproject is our guest today! In early adulthood, Kayla started to develop some health symptoms that led her to a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. She was given the option to take pharmaceuticals as a treatment option, but because she was so young she knew she didn’t want to be on medicine the rest of her life. So she set out to heal her body naturally, mainly through food. Crohn’s disease is an auto-immune that creates a lot of painful inflammation in your bowel. She is off all her medication and in remission! We also get to talk about how this journey has affected her whole family, their healthy family culture and her perspective on autoimmune diseases. With a background as a marriage and family therapist and art therapist, she has built a lot of therapeutic wisdom into her relationship with food and how she teaches her kids about health eating. You’ll love Kayla’s tips for helping kids become adventurous eaters!
