With a diagnosis of lupus in her mid-30's, Nan Foster, set out to find natural methods of relieving the pain, numbness, and brain fog she experienced. Turning down steroids and ultimately discovering the root cause of her symptoms and diagnosis in a food sensitivity and in emotional stress, Nan made simple adjustments to her diet and lifestyle and found relief.
