Phoebe and Andie — the Real Food Sisters — flew up from the Central Coast to share one of the most inspiring health stories we've had on the podcast. At just 17, Andy walked us through her ulcerative colitis diagnosis, the moment doctors told her "diet doesn't matter, you can go eat McDonald's right now," and how she eventually got herself off medication, healed an autoimmune liver disease, and rebuilt her gut with the help of a functional medicine protocol after being told she had a 1-in-1,000 chance of developing blood cancer from the drugs they wanted to put her on. Phoebe shares her own path in — clearing up acne, losing her cycle from going too far the other way, finding real food, and dragging the whole family along for the ride. We get into the deep stuff too: parasites and liver flukes, the SIDS / vaccine conversation, water filters, red lights, the physiological load concept, and why most professionals are brainwashed by the system they were trained in. The sisters open up about manifesting their new house, the power of having a sibling alongside you on the mission, and how a school assignment video led to them building a following of 20,000+ in a few short months. We also go somewhere unexpectedly tender — talking about grief, my dad's passing, a moment in the car where I felt him for the first time, and why facing the scary stuff head-on is the whole point. If you know someone struggling with gut issues, autoimmune conditions, or just feeling lost on where to start with their health — send them this one. As Phoebe puts it: don't try to do everything. Just pick one thing. Change the water. Go for a walk. Start. Follow the girls @real.food.sisters and at realfoodsisters.com — code SISTERS20 for 20% off The Water Shop filters.
