This is a travel memoir that happens to be about healing. It's the story of stumbling into wisdom in Greek mountainvilages, Moroccan souks, Korean markets, Spanish siestas, and Portuguese fish stals. It's about the people whotaught me that health isn't something you optimize-it's something you live.It's also practical. Every chapter includes the science behind what I learned, the protocols I developed, and therecipes I stil make weekly. Because stories are great, but you also need to know *how* to make golden milk at 11PM when your joints are aching, or what to eat when your gut is a mess, or which supplements actualy matterversus which ones are expensive urine.This book is about anti-inflammatory eating, but it's not a diet book. Diets are things you go "on" and inevitably fal"off." This is about building a way of eating and living that's so pleasurable, so satisfying, so woven into daily lifethat you never want to stop.This book is for anyone dealing with: - Autoimmune disease (any kind-the principles are similar)- Chronic inflammation- Mysterious symptoms that doctors can't quite explain- Fatigue that doesn't match your life circumstances- The sense that your body isn't working right but labs come back "normal"- Frustration with conventional medicine that manages symptoms without addressing root causesIt's also for anyone who: - Loves food and refuses to eat like health is a punishment- Is curious about how traditional cultures stayed healthy- Wants to understand the science but also the story- Is tired of welness culture's toxic perfectionism- Needs practical guidance, not just inspiration- Wants to travel vicariously through someone else's healing journey
