My Story
Myriam
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. In 2017, I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s disease and spent several years on steroids and autoimmune suppressants, but I never really felt like myself. Around that same time, I lost my mom to cancer and watched my dad struggle with heart disease and diabetes until even walking a few steps left him out of breath. All of that pushed me to look for a different way forward, and that’s when I turned to food as medicine.
Since then, I’ve been on a journey of healing by growing my own food organically and cooking in a cleaner, healthier way. Along the way, I’ve also prepared myself to grow more sustainably by becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer with UF’s IFAS Extension and earning my Permaculture Design Certificate in Costa Rica. Now, I love sharing what I’ve learned with anyone who’s curious or looking for a little guidance on their own journey.
These days, I’m grateful to have a wonderful rheumatologist who helps me stay balanced without medication, and I always encourage others to talk with their doctors before making changes. This is my story and I’d be honored if it can help inspire yours.
