And she's like, ‘Hey girl, did you notice that your hair is growing back?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, really?’ And I took a picture. I was like, oh my gosh, my hair is really starting to grow, like I could see some inches, and then I could tell something's happening. I noticed that my acne flare-ups were not as bad, and things just started to kind of wean themselves from the storm inside of me, and then all of a sudden, I'm just like better. I'm not gonna say that I'm like 100 percent healthy and perfect. No, I'm a human being and I live in an imperfect world, but for the most part, the things that I said, I no longer suffer. And I'll take that any day.” - Melissa Webster   What we discuss in this episode:  - Melissa’s journey overcoming childhood illnesses. - The pivotal health scare that led Melissa to embrace a whole food plant-based diet, along with the subsequent benefits she experienced. - Melissa’s recommendations for juicing. - Melissa’s food tips for healthy hair. - Tips for relieving constipation. - Tips for meal planning.   Resources: - Choosing My Health: Beginner-friendly Guide To A Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet • Choosing My Health - https://choosingmyhealth.com/52827/beginner-friendly-guide-to-a-whole-food-plant-based-diet/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/choosingmyhealth/?hl=en - https://www.instagram.com/choosingmyhealth/?hl=en - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChoosingMyHealth - https://www.youtube.com/@ChoosingMyHealth - Healthy Hair Juice Challenge: https://academy.choosingmyhealth.com/healthy-hair-juice-challenge-waitlist-page  - Crecedor: Crecedor Opt-in • Choosing My Health - https://choosingmyhealth.com/crecedor/ - BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough: bioptimizers.com/switch4good - http://bioptimizers.com/switch4good   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.
