Ep 94: The Earth Diet with Liana Werner-Gray
Episode 94: Show Notes
Liana Werner-Gray grew up in the Australian Outback, immersed in the wisdom of the Aboriginals. From a young age, she was aware of the value of eating healthy, natural ingredients, straight from the earth, and the dangers of highly processed, sugary foods.
Despite this knowledge which was rooted deep within her, her struggles with childhood trauma caught up with her when she reached her teenage years, and she turned to unhealthy food for comfort.
When Liana reached 21, a biopsy revealed a 3.7 centimeter tumor in her lymphatic system. This was the moment her transformation journey began. Armed with indigenous knowledge and the support of a naturopath, Liana completely rid herself of cancer (and later, anxiety and depression) through changing her diet!
She has since documented her approach in the form of a blog and 3 different books, and developed her own Anxiety-Free supplement, with the hope of positively impacting the lives of as many people as possible.
In today’s episode Liana shares her inspiring story, and some of the key foods which you should incorporate into your daily diet, starting right now!
