Today we’d like to introduce you to Brooke Beard.
Hi Brooke, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
When I was 18 years old, my life was rocked by a terrible accident. As a result, I suffered a traumatic brain injury, had to drop out of college and give up everything I had previously known. As well as the TBI, I began suffering from extreme gastrointestinal issues tied to stress and hormone imbalance. I was unable to take care of myself for a long time and became frustrated with the lack of progress I was making with my doctors for both the brain injury and digestive issues.
This is when I began to do my own research into natural or holistic remedies. Since I wasn’t in school or working, I had nothing but time. I was thrust down the rabbit hole and entered world that blew my mind. It became my mission to educate myself enough to 1. figure out what was REALLY going on 2. Fix it.
And I did. I was shocked to learn that everything I thought I knew about nutrition was basically false. How that standard American diet is leading us down a dark path paved with cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
I developed a protocol for myself to follow. Cutting out the bad and incorporating more foods with purpose. And a little more than two years later in happy to say I’m far along the road to recovery. No more GI symptoms and my neurological symptoms decrease everyday.
I needed to share this astounding discovery with others. How amazing it can feel to nourish your body with what it wants and needs, So Food Vibes Meal Prep was born.
A melting pot of my passions for health, wellness, natural medicine, cooking and sustainability.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
This journey has been the most amazingly difficult endeavor I’ve tackled yet.
Suffering a traumatic brain injury is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. It’s impossible to put into words how my life was shook by this event, but the hardest things in life teach you the most.
Everyday I wake up with sense of purpose because I know there are people out there right now who are suffering. Whether it be from digestive issues, neurological issues, chronic illnesses, etc. Someone out there is suffering with nobody to help them. Nobody to tell them why they aren’t getting better, let alone what they can do.
So whenever I get discouraged, I remember when I was that person and how much I could have benefited from something like this. I think about how important my message is and how much so many people need to hear it.
We’ve been impressed with Food Vibes Meal Prep, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
