Edible Rx: Recent Episodes
Laura Rodriguez
Welcome to the "Edible Rx" Podcast where I'll teach you simple tips and lifestyle shifts to help you start using food as part of your autoimmune healing protocol. I'm Laura Rodriguez and I've been using diet and lifestyle to manage my Rheumatoid Arthritis since 2015. I've reversed eczema, migraines, leaky gut, candida, adrenal fatigue, gut dysbiosis and insulin resistance along the way. As a chef with multiple health conditions I had no choice but to develop a style of cooking that fulfills my client's culinary desires AND meets my dietary needs. Now I'm on a mission to help you do the same! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ediblerx/support

2.) The freedom to order anything you want from a restaurant menu
Listen to learn more about these freedoms and how to achieve them yourself!
