Synopsis

Christian Book Award - Finalist 2022 (print)!!

When doctors told Danielle Walker that food didn’t cause her autoimmune disease and couldn’t help control it, she set out to prove them wrong.

Diagnosed with an extreme form of ulcerative colitis at 22, Danielle was terrified she’d never be able to eat all the wonderful, great-tasting foods she loved growing up or host warm, welcoming gatherings with family and friends. So when the medicine she was prescribed became almost as debilitating as the disease itself, Danielle took matters into her own hands, turned her kitchen into a laboratory, and set to work creating gut-healthy versions of the foods she thought she’d never be able to enjoy again. Three New York Times bestselling cookbooks later, Danielle has become a beacon of hope for millions around the world suffering from autoimmune diseases, food allergies, and chronic ailments.

Now for the first time, with stunning transparency about the personal toll her illness took on her physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Danielle reflects on everything she’s learned during her decade-long journey toward healing―including the connection between gut health and overall well-being, the development of her favorite recipes, and the keys for not simply surviving her autoimmune disease but thriving despite it. Through her resilience, Danielle tells a story that provides hope―hope that despite your ailments or hardships, you can live a full, happy, and healthy life without ever feeling excluded or deprived.

Food saved Danielle Walker. And it can save you, too.

Includes six fan-favorite recipes and the stories behind them!

Danielle Walker's story has always been close to my heart - her Meals Made Simple cookbook was one of the first gluten-free cookbooks that my Mom gave me in 2015 when I decided to live entirely gluten-free. I cried through half of this memoir because Danielle's story is so relatable to my own health......more

Goodreads review by Briel on August 10, 2022

I resonated deeply with this memoir. Danielle’s health struggles are so similar to my own, particularly the hospital stays where “cures” only spiral my misunderstood (and for a long time, misdiagnosed) medical issues, where doctors just want to shove prescription pills down your throat regardless of......more

Goodreads review by Rebekah on September 15, 2021

I was able to “read” this book via the audiobook version prior to release at part of the book launch team. This book did not disappoint. I finished it within 48 hours! The audiobook features the author’s voice which was captivating. I could hear the emotion in her voice as she recounted her health a......more

Goodreads review by Angela on January 06, 2022

What a beautiful story by a beautiful soul. I've followed Danielle on Instagram for a few years now (I think I initially found her through Whole 30/Whole 30 recipes as I've found many of my favorite food bloggers), and while she's been quite candid about her journey with UC (ulcerative colitis), she......more
