About Elizabeth the Speaker

I’m a traditional naturopath, patented inventor, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. As a health and wellness speaker, I’m obsessed with how chronic inflammation influences our bodies and our lives… and what each of us can do to get  rid of it in order to live happily and comfortably without painful or debilitating symptoms.

I started writing my natural living and healthy eating blog, “Effortless Eating for Healthier Bodies,”SM in 2008 as a place to share recipes, healthy eating tips, and natural remedies for common ailments. It has evolved into a venue for me to share my best natural remedies and solutions, rave about my favorite natural foods or products, and rant about outrages like carcinogens in sunscreens or pharmaceutical drugs in our water supply or GMOs in our food chain. I am a believer of what Hippocrates said so famously in 400 BCE:
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

I’ve been living with Multiple Sclerosis since 1999, though you wouldn’t know it as my last serious MS attack was in 2002. From the beginning when I awoke blind in my right eye two weeks before my thirtieth birthday, my husband insisted my food choices (mainly my Diet Coke-Crystal Lite-Gummi Bears lifestyle) played a role in how I was feeling. It was he who first turned my attention to the role food plays in the body.

Along the way, I’ve learned a lot from studying nutrition and food. After I changed my own diet and invented a way to make it easier to eat healthier, I introduced my newly patented cooking method through a unique cookbook (it won some awards – they are listed at the bottom of this page!) and toured the country speaking about nutrition and offering cooking classes. For a couple years in there I performed an average of 100 times/year – it was a crazy schedule to keep, especially while my kids were young!  Here are some of my television and radio appearances. Have you seen my TEDx talk?

I slowed things down, went back to school and received a degree in natural health. Discovering the role that food sensitivities play in inflammation brought my interests full-circle to where I’ve become absolutely convinced of the connection between inflammation, diet and health. Especially when it comes to autoimmunity. I now run a nationwide food sensitivities clinic designing customized anti-inflammatory diets, and am the director of the Fight MS with Foodproject.

If you read my blog, you’ll find I’m interested in health — yours, mine, my two kids’, our country’s, the planet’s — and I get outraged when I learn of new toxic indignities and health hazards in our world.
