How Healing from Within Transformed My Skin: A Journey with the Medical Medium Book
For most of my life, I had clear, healthy skin. But in 2021, my life changed. I moved back to my hometown (Fortaleza – Brazil) from South Africa, and started to feel lost in my life the word “PURPOSE” started to be everywhere and I asked myself mine. The anxiety left me disconnected, also I know that the emotional strain, along with potential hormonal changes as I entered my 30s, likely contributed to the sudden skin issues. Being a model, this added pressure because clear skin is often a job requirement. Living in Fortaleza, I looked for a dermatologist who prescribed Accutane.
Unfortunately, deep inside I knew this wasn’t a good decision but since I wanted (most of us do) a quick solution, I decided to take it. It led me to the development of dermatitis (that’s what I believe), a condition that causes inflamed, irritated skin—an outcome that only worsened my situation.
Thankfully, my sister, a Nutritional Coach and a believer in the Medical Medium method, offered to help me and introduced me to a more holistic approach (which is my vibe). I started by cutting out inflammatory foods, following the cleanse outlined in the “Cleanse to Heal” book. OK..I got say, wasn’t easy! But was so worth it! Within just a month, I saw remarkable changes in my skin’s appearance. Like.. really!!! The redness diminished, and the constant flare-ups were gone. My self-esteem came back and I could go out without any make up (which I love).

Until today (3 years later), while I don’t make celery juice every day, I still incorporate it regularly, alongside recipes from the book that focus on real, healing foods. This journey taught me the profound connection between the mind, body, and what we eat. I truly believe that food has the power to heal, and combined with a positive mindset, it can transform your health.
The Medical Medium’s guidance helped me regain not only clear skin but also a deeper sense of balance and purpose in life.
Here’s the link of the book that I have. There are not only recipes, but a full explanation about some diseases. He has others that are amazing as well and worth the read!
Hope you guys like it and change your lives like changed mine!
