I am considering doing this as well. I was just reading about how MSG is hidden in our foods under tons of different names! Makes me so mad! Definitely interested in seeing how you have accomplished this. I did whole30 a couple times and it seems like that would be the only way to avoid additives!?

Hi Becky,

I’ve been following you for years and often find encouragement here. Today, I’m a bit confused though. What do you mean by ‘chemical free’? How does one go chemical free, when we are in fact made of chemicals and consume chemicals …all…the…time. From water (H2O) to, well, everything. So, I’m just not understanding what you mean. Do you mean that you’re eating whole foods, like making everything from scratch and mostly eating things like meat, veggies, fruit, etc? Perhaps I am taking this too literally but I genuinely would love to know what you’ve taken out in case it could benefit our family too.

Thanks,

Juli

We have had so many problems with stress and anxiety, that I wonder if changing our diet would help. So, how do you even start?? That seems so overwhelming to me!

Thanks for this. I am dealing with chronic pain (looking for answers) and while waiting, going more natural in our food. We are making homemade granola bars, and applesauce and snacks for us and the kids. I have noticed a change in my girls (less high strung). For me I am losing weight (unfortunately the pain is still there) but my energy in increasing.

Have you taken anything to help with your mthfr mutation? To help with the histamine over abundance? I too have this gene and suffered a major histamine reaction last week not knowing what was happening.

Yay! I’m so glad y’all changed it up and are doing so much better. We have been doing clean eating for years and notice anxiety, stress and overall worse health when we step away from our normal clean eating diet – especially with our oldest son. There are a lot of great foods to add and if you have any questions, please reach out. I’m obviously not an expert but can answer a lot of questions about eating clean (as well as home and personal care products too).

Wow this is a very interesting article. I can’t never imagine taking all the snacks my kids eat. Because they are the worst picky eaters ever!! I’m not kidding. So I’m curious what did you feed them ?? and please don’t tell me just fruits and veggies because I have a 4 and 6 year old that only eat veggies and fruit in smoothies- and because we are always running we grab gold fish, Cheerios, granola bars, apple sauce pouches, cheese sticks before soccer, ballet, more soccer and more ballet and swim. Thank you

I am also preparing to drastically change my diet (and most likely my son’s diet) to finally get in control of all the increasing symptoms in my life. I’m dealing with an ectopic pregnancy right now, and the drug I have taken to deal with it is a folic acid inhibitor. Until that’s over, I can pretty much only eat meat and dairy (which are lowest in natural or artificial folic acid). I don’t know how lions do it. I need a salad so badly!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to your future posts on this subject, especially if you have ideas on how to feed your family chemical-free foods without breaking the bank. If you have ideas for getting husbands and preschoolers on board too, I’d so love to read that!
