9. Healing From the Inside Out: How Food Supports Real Recovery with Josette Tkacik

In this 2022 episode, Josette Tkacik, a Juilliard-trained professional dancer and Zumba instructor, shares her incredible journey of self-healing from advanced rheumatoid arthritis, a debilitating autoimmune disease, without the help of Western medicine. Diagnosed in 2011 with a condition for which conventional treatments offer no cure, only life-shortening pharmaceuticals to slow its progression, Josette chose to forge her own path to wellness through nutrition and self-care. Her remarkable recovery led to her being declared a Medical Miracle in 2016, with no evidence of the disease found in subsequent bloodwork. Josette's story is not just about overcoming physical adversity; it's a testament to the power of alternative healing methods. Now recognized as the world's most successful Zumba instructor, a Congressional award-winning Santa Barbara Hero, and a top author on DailyOM, her story inspires many to explore the transformative potential of nutrition and self-care in battling seemingly insurmountable health challenges. CONNECT WITH THE GUEST:Website: http://www.josettet.comSocial Media: https://www.instagram.com/josettetkacik/ Support the showReady to rebuild your foundation and finally create real momentum?Download The Rise Guide - https://www.nikalawrie.com/forms/2148994587A free guide to help you begin moving from stuck, burnt out, and afraid to calm, clear, energized, and confident.
