Phoebe shares her inspiring journey from navigating an autoimmune diagnosis to redefining her relationship with food and creating a balanced, nourishing lifestyle. We also talk about practical tips for managing blood sugar, the healing power of listening to your body, and why enjoying your favorite carbs doesn’t mean sacrificing wellness. Phoebe’s approach is refreshingly honest, making wellness feel achievable, joyful, and guilt-free.
