EP 3:Spoonful of Strength with Ashley Tresoline

In this inspiring episode of Affirm That Shit, Jennifer welcomes Ashley Tresoline, founder of Bella Foodie and a passionate advocate for culinary wellness. Ashley’s life changed forever after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) over 20 years ago, a journey marked by misdiagnoses, painful procedures, and the struggle to be taken seriously by doctors who dismissed her symptoms as "psychosomatic."  Ashley candidly shares her experiences with fluctuating weight, relentless discomfort, and the complexities of living with MS—a condition often referred to as a “snowflake disease” for its unique impact on each individual. Through it all, Ashley discovered the profound connection between food and well-being. She dives into how her Italian heritage, love for cooking, and determination to heal herself led her to create Bella Foodie, a business that honors her great-grandmother’s legacy while helping others thrive through holistic nutrition.  From teaching kids to love veggies to exploring how certain foods alleviate symptoms, Ashley’s journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the healing power of nourishment. Whether you’re curious about the role of food in wellness or looking for tips to make healthy eating fun, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.  Listeners can connect with Ashley:IG: @bellafoodie7https://www.facebook.com/bellafoodie www.bellafoodie.net
