Katherine from @mypropernutrition_ joins the Corrective Culture podcast to talk about how real, ancestral food can put autoimmune and gut conditions into full remission — often without supplements, and often faster than people think. We get into the nuts and bolts of her elimination-and-rebuild protocol: why meat stock and bone broth sit at the foundation, how to reintroduce foods without flaring symptoms, and why eggs, dairy, nightshades and gluten are the universal autoimmune triggers to earn your way back to. Katherine shares real client stories — a woman who reversed rheumatoid arthritis, Michelle's IVF-to-pregnancy journey, a woman who reversed endometriosis and PCOS — plus her own healing story that led her to walk away from a conventional nutrition degree. We also cover Hashimoto's, nutrient loading for pregnancy, the carnivore vs. vegan extremes, why the supplement industry oversells, creatine and kidney risk, water quality, parasites, and why your environment, stress and relationships matter as much as your plate. If you're tired of being told "your bloods are fine" while you still feel awful — this one's for you. Find Katherine: Instagram @mypropernutrition_
