About

Hi, I’m Amanda and I'm a wife and homeschooling mother of 3 boys.  My inspiration for this book came from overcoming my own personal health challenge with God’s help.  Before I had children, I paid little attention to what I ate... if it tasted good then it was good in my  mind.  After the birth of my first son, though, I was intent on  nourishing him to the best of my ability.  And shortly after that  resolution, I was made painfully aware that I needed to do the same for myself.  I suddenly experienced a depression and other health problems that I just couldn’t shake.  What was odd about it was that I was  thankful to God for everything and everybody in my life at that time.   But one day it was like a switch got shut off in my brain and I couldn’t  see out of a dark place or understand why I was so despairing.  Coming from a family with three generations of women that suffered from  depression, I was encouraged to take an anti-depressant drug.  However, since God had healed me miraculously of other ailments I had encountered  before, I went to Him in prayer again asking for the same.  The healing was not immediate like it had been previously.  Instead, he opened my  understanding to see how I had unknowingly weakened my body through my  diet and then began to bring me the information I needed to feed myself  properly for my condition.  After making some dietary changes, the depression lifted in a little less than a month without the use of  drugs.  Some would say that it was the diet that healed me, but I know  it was God that showed me what to do and so He gets the credit.  Just  like good food feeds the body, God’s Word feeds our soul.  I pray that what I learned from it will help you as much as it did me in finding truths that help you live a healthier, more fullfilling life.
