The Vent | Balanced Insanity

In this episode, Monica gives a brief update on life amid today’s uncertain times. Living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), Monica was forced to make a variety of lifestyle changes that have challenged her physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She remains optimistic in spite of her many health obstacles and accepts in her heart that God has a reason for putting her through all these trials.
Monica relates that there have been many who suffered from lupus who, after making deliberate tweaks in their nutrition, became free from any indicators of their disease after a period of time. This is in spite of the fact that the mainstream medical community has not established the existence of a cure to this day. She attributes this phenomenon to how America, and many other countries around the world, have ramped up the production of food chock-full of artificial preservatives and other ingredients that are detrimental to your health in the long-term. By simply choosing to eat all-natural foods with little to no processing, you can potentially live out your years disease-free.
Listen in as Monica reflects on her myriad of health challenges and how she is currently coping, the state of modern-day America’s nutrition and certain aspects of healthcare, and her dating prospects and the question of marriage.
