MS Saved My Life Welcome to my be well kitchen! Pull up a seat and stay awhile. This is my personal journey with real whole foods that nourish the body. I love feeding you inspo!

Personally reversing my MS with food only. LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

Hi! My name is Natalie. I am not a tree hugging hippie, I don't live on a farm, I do not have a garden (yet) and I do not have endless amounts of cash. I am not a doctor nor a chef. I am a wife to one amazing man, a proud mother of 3 and co founder of 3 health-centric brands to date. We currently live and play in beautiful northern Va. I am a lover of all animals, successful business woman and self taught cook. I am un-apologetically normal, well depending on who you ask. I was diagnosed 7.2.14 lying in the ER unable to walk or talk for 3 weeks. The 2 years prior to my diagnosis had been a major struggle and it was somewhat of a relief to have a diagnosis, as now I have a target in my cross-hairs! MS Saved My Life. My mission is now clear. I have never been a fan of taking medicines as I believe in the healing powers of food. I found Dr. Terry Wahls Protocol and began following the Paleo Plus diet 3 days after diagnosis and have had amazing results thus far. This is my personal journey of healing and reversing my MS with Food. I have since modified what I eat to fit my bodies needs. My goal is to live a toxic free lifestyle from the foods I eat to the products I use. I share what I am eating to inspire you to get back in the kitchen and take hold of your health and well being. This is a positive space of support and laughs centered around beautiful food and healthy living! Whats your story?

Hello šŸ‘‹ Monday
Made southwest eggs and smoked chicken sausage for breakfast.
2 eggs cooked in grass fed butter
Topped with feta, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, hot sauce.
Everything is organic and or pasture raised. I even grew the cilantro in my hydroponic garden set up.
The sausage is from Good Ranchers

What are you having??

PS — this was yesterday’s ā€œbreakfastā€ as my first meal is usually around 11am.

Living with MS has taught me that energy has a price.

I don’t always know what that price will be until later.

I can wake up feeling good and want to do all the things I haven’t been able to do. Work. Run errands. Make dinner. Piddle around the house. Live my very normal life.

But I’ve learned that a good day isn’t necessarily an invitation to spend everything I have.

Because sometimes I pay for it tomorrow.

That’s one of the harder parts of living with MS. I’m constantly doing a little math in my head.

If I do this, will I still have enough for that?

If I make plans, will my body cooperate when the day comes?

If I push through this feeling, am I going to hit the wall later?

And that wall is different from being tired.

Coffee doesn’t fix it. Motivation doesn’t fix it. Wanting to keep going doesn’t fix it.

Sometimes my body simply says, that’s enough.

For someone who likes to do, create, cook, work, gather and take care of the people around me, accepting that has probably been one of my biggest lessons.

Rest used to feel like something I earned after everything was finished.

MS has taught me that sometimes rest is the thing that needs to be done.

And maybe that’s one of the reasons I talk so much about caring for ourselves now.

Because I’ve learned to listen when my body whispers, instead of waiting until it has to yell.

I’m still learning.

But I’m listening.

This is why you don’t see me as much here. My energy is being prioritized.

Hope you are all well🫶

Yogurt bowl 🄣 Yes—I enjoy plain organic Greek yogurt. I stir in nut butter, maple, vanilla. Top with whatever I have on hand! One of my favorites is dried goji berries. I usually add flax seed. Fruit faves are apple, berries and kiwi. Mitch loves bananas so added those here.

There was a time when dinner looked like beautiful chaos.
Kids coming in and out of the kitchen. Someone always hungry 10 minutes after I cleaned up. Loud laughter.

And then one day… it quietly changes.

Now it’s dinner for two.
Mitch and I sitting with each other talking about the kids the entire meal anyway. šŸ˜‚

Tonight was simple and grounding.
A kale caesar with grilled chicken, fresh green beans sautĆ©ed in extra virgin olive oil and garlic, candlelight, conversation, and a slower pace I once thought I’d struggle with.

The truth is… every season of life carries its own kind of beauty.

I still miss the noise sometimes. I miss the little faces and busy evenings and full kitchen chairs. But there’s also something really sacred about this quieter chapter too. Less rushing. More savoring.

And honestly? After all these years… I still love feeding the people I love most.

A simple dinner.
A grateful heart.
A life that looks different now — but still very full. šŸ¤

I love groceries and farmers markets—definitely my live language. However, preserving my energy is always top priority.

Dinner tonight is what I like to call… elevated chaos šŸ˜„

Grilled chicken wings doing their thing, a peas + asparagus + prosciutto situation that feels a little fancy, and a yogurt fruit bowl that said ā€œI’m dessert but also responsible.ā€

No rules. No macros. No overthinking. Just a hodgepodge of real food that somehow works—and tastes really good.

This is your reminder that meals don’t have to match… they just have to nourish ✨

This is what ā€œfast foodā€ looks like for me now šŸ¤

A burger in a bowl… but make it healing.

Crisp lettuce + cabbage
Juicy tomato + red onion
Creamy avocado
Tangy, probiotic-rich pickles (always)
Golden baby potatoes
Perfectly browned burger

And the dressing… a little nostalgic, a little upgraded:
ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickle juice, salt + pepper, garlic + onion powder

It tastes like the old version of me…
but it feels like the version of me that chose to heal.

This is the shift no one talks about—
you don’t have to give up the foods you love.
You just learn how to rebuild them in a way your body understands.

Simple. Satisfying. Nourishing.

This is how MS saved my life šŸ¤
