Enlighten Me – Tina Jo Stephens

Topic: When it comes to your diet, going raw isn’t what it used to be.
Guest:
Tina Jo Stephens

Tina Jo comes from a traditional Italian family. Where the kitchen (and mother) was the heart of the home. Everything was done there. Homework, games, hair, eating, cooking… you get the picture. Her mother was one of those cooks who never measured anything! She would just add a pinch of this and handful of that, but would taste everything. She just “knew” how to create all those incredible dishes.
Fast forward.
Tina Jo became an Ophthalmic Technologist and was in practice for nearly twenty years… and during that time how saw how affected people were by what they ate.
So many of the patients she saw suffered from Diabetes, Macular Degeneration, High Blood Pressure, Cancer, Multiple Scleroses, and other horrible diseases.
Time and time again, she was a witness to the tragedy of The Great American Diet.
However Tina admits she too, suffered the consequences of a poor diet… with incredibly painful ovarian and uterine cysts. She tried everything – that is, every western drug and test available to womankind. It never occurred to her it could be her diet – and, the worse thing is, it was never suggested by any of the doctors either.
I think you know where we might be going with this…
