Stephanie's Story

---

Raising a baby is challenging for new parents. When the mother has a life-threatening, auto-immune disease, that struggle becomes even greater.

Stephanie's story started with flu-like symptoms and then spiraled quickly into years of becoming violently ill. Diagnosed with severe Crohn's Disease, an autoimmune disease causing extreme pain and inflammation mainly affecting small intestine, large intestine, and colon, Stephanie was left malnourished and depressed as her body slowly wasted away. 

With support of the 4:12 Foundation and others, Stephanie is able to fuel her road back to wellness with over 100 supplements a day. While her road to recovery is a marathon, she feels beyond blessed at the progress she has made.

I don’t have my next naturopathic appointment until August to show more lab work, but wow do I feel like a completely different person than when I first started my journey. 

I am sleeping better through the night. I am gaining weight. I feel better internally and not sick all the time. My complexion is returning. I have the energy to not only take care of my son but home cook all my meals including my family's meals, exercise 4-5 days a week, and get many tasks done that I was not even close to be able to do before starting my journey. I have gained so much knowledge from changing my lifestyle that has made such incredible positive impacts in my health and have changed the way my family and I live. 

In addition to changing my diet 100%, I have also learned ways to manage stress and decompress, and it has made such a difference in my health. The supplements I’m on have helped me tremendously- my latest labs showed improvement in every single area that showed extreme dysfunction. My smile is returning and joy is being restored. Each and every day is another step closer to true healing complete healing and remission. I feel very blessed to feel as good as I do especially looking back to where I was. 

What.a.difference!! God bless you all!!! 

I can’t say it enough…thank you for what you all did to help me get to this place. God guided me to go this natural route that I know many can be skeptical about since it’s not the “usual” way people treat their disease. The love & support you all have shown me is so special. I pray God blesses you and your family tremendously- His plan is working, and I can’t contain my excitement and gratitude to see it all coming together.
