Why Health is More Than Just the Absence of Disease
Health is not simply about “not being sick.” It’s about thriving—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many people accept fatigue, pain, brain fog, and chronic symptoms as normal, but I’m here to tell you: they don’t have to be.
For years, I struggled with chronic illness, including epilepsy, post-concussion syndrome, nerve damage, and debilitating fatigue. Traditional medicine offered me little hope beyond medication and symptom management. But as I dug deeper, I found the undeniable power of nutrition, detoxification, and faith-based healing.
Through my journey, I have studied, tested, and experienced firsthand what truly supports healing—not just masking symptoms, but actually restoring health at its foundation.
The Power of Food: More Than Just Fuel
Most people think of food as just calories and energy, but real food is medicine. Every bite we take either builds us up or breaks us down.
🟢 Nourishing the Cells – Foods like wild blueberries, leafy greens, avocados, and celery juice actively repair cells, reduce inflammation, and detoxify the body. 🟢 Healing vs. Harming – Processed foods, additives, and chemicals burden the liver, brain, and nervous system, keeping the body in a state of distress. 🟢 The Truth About Protein & Fats – While mainstream nutrition often pushes animal protein and unhealthy fats, our bodies thrive on fruits, vegetables, and plant-based, bioavailable nutrients that restore and energize us.
I follow Medical Medium nutritional principles, which emphasize the power of healing foods and targeted detox strategies to remove toxins, pathogens, and heavy metals—the root cause of many chronic conditions.
🚀 The result? Increased energy, reduced pain, sharper mental clarity, and a body that finally has the resources to heal itself as God intended.
Detoxification: Clearing the Path for Healing
The modern world bombards us with toxins, heavy metals, and hidden pathogens. From the air we breathe to the water we drink, we’re constantly exposed to substances that burden the liver, brain, and immune system.
But God designed our bodies to detoxify—if we give them the right support.
How Detoxification Heals
🔹 Liver Cleansing – Removing heavy metals, excess fat, and toxins restores energy and clarity. 🔹 Brain Detox – Clearing out neurotoxins (often linked to anxiety, brain fog, and neurological issues). 🔹 Gut Healing – Eliminating pathogens that contribute to bloating, fatigue, and autoimmune issues.
Some of the most powerful detox strategies I use and recommend include: ✅ Celery Juice Protocol – Flushes toxins, supports the liver, and hydrates cells. ✅ Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie – Pulls out mercury, lead, and aluminum (key in neurological healing). ✅ Healing Teas – Lemon balm, dandelion, and passionflower help calm the nervous system and clear out stored toxins.
By integrating targeted detoxification with the right nutrition, healing becomes not just possible—it becomes inevitable.
The Mind-Body Connection: Healing from the Inside Out
Health isn’t just physical. Our minds and emotions deeply influence our bodies. Chronic stress, trauma, and emotional burdens create physiological imbalances, leading to:
⚠️ Increased inflammation and immune dysfunction ⚠️ Worsened neurological symptoms (anxiety, depression, brain fog) ⚠️ Hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue
This is why a true healing journey requires addressing the mind and spirit, not just the body.
What I’ve Learned About Mind-Body Healing
💡 The Power of Prayer & Faith – I have seen firsthand how trusting in God reduces stress, brings peace, and restores the body from within. 💡 Grounding & Mindfulness – Simple practices like breathing exercises and time in nature help reset the nervous system. 💡 Forgiveness & Emotional Detox – Carrying resentment, guilt, or unprocessed trauma keeps the body in a constant state of tension and toxicity.
🛑 Ignoring these factors slows healing. Addressing them accelerates it.
Faith & Health: Aligning with God’s Design
As a Christian, I believe God designed our bodies to heal when given the right tools. The Bible speaks extensively about food, healing, and spiritual well-being, and modern research only confirms what scripture has already taught us.
Biblical Principles of Health
✝️ God’s Original Diet – Genesis 1:29 highlights plant-based nutrition as our intended fuel. ✝️ Healing Through Creation – Herbs, fruits, and natural remedies have been used for centuries to restore health. ✝️ Fasting & Detox – Biblical fasting was not just spiritual—it was also a way to allow the body to cleanse itself.
Health is not just about what we eat—it’s about walking in alignment with God’s wisdom for our bodies.

This post reflects my personal perspective, shaped by lived experience, long-term research, and prayerful discernment. I am not a medical professional, and nothing here should be taken as medical advice. People are free to explore different dietary approaches, and that freedom matters. What I share here is simply the framework that has proven most effective and sustainable for my own health, values, and belief structure.
I do not follow the Medical Medium protocol in a rigid or absolutist way, nor do I adhere strictly to any single dietary label. Instead, I follow a modified Medical Medium–informed protocol combined with principles of a modified Mediterranean diet, guided by what I’ve found to be physiologically sound, historically grounded, and consistent with biblical teachings on stewardship of the body. This comparison is offered for education and clarity—not persuasion.
Introduction: Two Very Different Views of How the Body Heals
The Carnivore Diet and Medical Medium–influenced nutrition represent fundamentally different philosophies about energy, healing, and the long-term needs of the human body.
The Carnivore Diet centers exclusively on animal-based foods—meat, fish, eggs, and sometimes dairy—eliminating all plant foods. It is commonly promoted for short-term symptom relief, blood sugar control, and inflammation reduction through carbohydrate elimination.
Medical Medium–influenced nutrition, when applied thoughtfully and flexibly, emphasizes fruits, vegetables, herbs, mineral salts, hydration, and strategic fat moderation to support liver function, nervous system health, and detoxification. In my case, this is complemented by selected Mediterranean principles—such as olive oil, herbs, and clean protein—used with restraint and discernment.
While both approaches can appear to “work” on the surface, they do so through entirely different mechanisms. One prioritizes restriction and metabolic adaptation; the other focuses on restoration, replenishment, and long-term resilience. Understanding that difference matters.
1. Energy Production: Glucose vs. Ketosis
Aspect
MM-Informed / Mediterranean-Modified
Carnivore Diet
Primary Fuel
Glucose from fruit, vegetables, and clean starches
Ketones from fat and protein
Brain Fuel
Designed to run optimally on glucose
Relies on ketones when glucose is restricted
Cellular Energy
Supports ATP production with lower metabolic stress
Requires metabolic adaptation under carbohydrate deprivation
Long-Term Impact
Supports liver, thyroid, and nervous system health
May increase liver and adrenal strain over time
Why Glucose Matters
The brain and central nervous system are biologically designed to rely on glucose as their primary fuel source. Fruits, vegetables, and properly prepared carbohydrates provide clean energy that replenishes glycogen, stabilizes stress hormones, and supports neurological function.
Research consistently shows glucose is the brain’s preferred fuel under normal physiological conditions.
Ketosis is a backup survival mechanism, not an ideal long-term state. It becomes dominant during famine or carbohydrate deprivation.
Chronic low-carbohydrate intake can increase stress on the liver and adrenal system, particularly in individuals with neurological or metabolic vulnerabilities.
Verdict: Glucose is not the enemy. Metabolic dysfunction arises from liver overload, chronic stress, and excessive fat intake—not from whole-food carbohydrates.
2. Detoxification, Healing, and Chronic Illness
Aspect
MM-Informed / Mediterranean-Modified
Carnivore Diet
Detox Support
Provides antioxidants, minerals, and hydration
Minimal support for detox pathways
Liver Function
Supports cleansing and regeneration
Increased workload from high fat/protein
Pathogen Control
Limits viral and bacterial fuel sources
No direct antiviral or chelating support
Lymph & Waste
Improves hydration and waste movement
Can increase acidic metabolic byproducts
A Functional View of Detoxification
From a functional and biblical stewardship perspective, the body heals best when its elimination systems are supported rather than overburdened. Fruits, vegetables, herbs, and adequate hydration supply the micronutrients the liver requires to neutralize toxins and maintain balance.
Fiber and plant compounds help bind and remove waste.
Hydration is essential for lymphatic flow and neurological stability.
Symptom relief without detoxification is not the same as healing.
Verdict: Eliminating triggers can reduce symptoms, but restoration requires nourishment and clearance—not perpetual restriction.
3. Long-Term Sustainability
Aspect
MM-Informed / Mediterranean-Modified
Carnivore Diet
Liver & Thyroid
Supported through glucose and minerals
Often stressed long term
Heart Health
Low-to-moderate fat, plant-forward
High saturated fat intake
Gut Health
Feeds beneficial microbiota
Starves microbiome diversity
Longevity
Historically and culturally consistent
Lacks long-term population data
Historically, human diets that supported longevity and resilience were not zero-carb or plant-exclusive. They were balanced, seasonal, and rooted in whole foods—principles echoed both in Mediterranean cultures and biblical agrarian life.
Verdict: Sustainable health is built on nourishment, moderation, and wisdom—not extremes.
Final Thoughts: Why This Approach Works for Me
I don’t follow labels. I follow results, conscience, and stewardship. A modified Medical Medium–informed framework, paired with select Mediterranean principles and grounded in biblical values, has proven to be the most balanced, sustainable approach for my health.
✔ Focuses on restoration rather than suppression
✔ Respects the body’s design and energy needs
✔ Aligns with long-term stewardship, not short-term fixes
Others are free to choose differently. This is simply the path that has brought clarity, stability, and progress for me—and that alignment matters.
