Heal Your Table

Our Story

In 2024, my wife Alicia was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Our son was about to turn one.The doctors spoke about medications, infusions, and side effects. Not one mentioned food. Not one said that what she ate might matter. So I became the person in our house who would do the research, night after night, reading studies, cross-referencing claims, asking the questions no one seemed willing to ask.What I found was both hopeful and infuriating. The science connecting diet to autoimmune disease is strong, growing, and consistently ignored in standard medical care. Gluten triggers immune cross-reactivity in MS. Dairy has a similar mechanism. Omega-3s reduce inflammation. Vitamin D status correlates with MS progression. A leaky gut — which most of us have from years of processed food and stress — pours inflammatory particles into the bloodstream every day.This book is what I learned. I am not a doctor. I am a husband. I wrote the book I wish had existed when we were starting out. It is for Alicia, and for every family sitting where we sat, wondering what to do next.
