226: The Road to Optimal Health: A Story of Overcoming Chronic Illness with Erin Porter

Erin Porter, author of Eat Pray Get Well - A journey from Chronic Illness & Brokenness to Wholeness & Healing, has been interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS American Health Journal, CTN, Know the Cause and more. At eighteen years old, and after an abusive childhood, she was desperate to leave her parents house and moved to New York City. Instead of embarking on a new journey of exploring the big city, she was running from doctor to doctor trying to figure out what was single handedly trying to steal her health (and my finances) out from under me since the move. This marked the beginning of a 20 plus year descent into chronic illness. She developed tunnel vision, her thoughts were consumed with trying to unravel the cause of her failing health. She spent enormous amounts of tears, frustration, and money trying to get well. Upon research and becoming her own best health advocate, she did ultimately get well but it was a long journey. She discovered a steady companion in the process: God. The second edition of her book Eat Pray Get Well - A Journey from Chronic Illness & Brokenness to Wholeness & Healing was recently released. Erin interviewed people who also turned to God desperate to get well and find answers. Interviews include supermodel Carol Alt, Joe Cross - star and film maker of Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, renowned cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, Doug Kaufmann - host of televisions Know The Cause, and more.
