I Was Nearly 400 Lbs With 5 Diagnoses. This Is the Exact Method I Used to Reverse All of It.

✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE What if the most powerful medicine you have access to is already in your grocery store? In this live Food as Medicine 101 class, I walk you through the exact framework I used to reverse PCOS, Type 2 diabetes, fibroids, hypothyroidism, and high cholesterol without a single pharmaceutical. I was nearly 400 pounds. My doctors told me I would manage these conditions for the rest of my life. They were wrong. In this session you will learn the Nourish by Naija Method™, the PF3 framework, why your lab results may be misleading you, and how to build a healing plate from the ground up. We close with a live smoothie demo and kale salad demonstration so you can see exactly what food as medicine looks like in real time. This is not a diet. This is a decision. Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.   📋 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CLASS * The Nourish by Naija Method™ weekly food prep template and how to use it to plan every meal without repeating the same five things all week long. * The PF3 framework, Protein, Fiber, Fat, and Flavor, and how to use it to evaluate every single meal, snack, and smoothie you consume. * Why your standard lab results may be showing you green when your body is far from optimal, and what optimal ranges actually look like.   💜 NAIJA GODDESS SPOTLIGHT ✨ Get your free Nourish by Naija 3-Day Reset — three days of plant-based meals built on the PF3 framework with full recipes, prep instructions, and grocery list: 👉 www.NourishByNaija.com [http://www.NourishByNaija.com] 📚 Get your copy of NOURISH BY NAIJA — the plant-based food prep guide that fits your life and feeds your health: 👉 Hardcover on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FP9SW1M7 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FP9SW1M7] 👉 Digital version: https://www.thenaijagoddess.com/product-page/nourish-by-naija-flexible-food-prep-that-fits-your-life-and-feeds-your-health [https://www.thenaijagoddess.com/product-page/nourish-by-naija-flexible-food-prep-that-fits-your-life-and-feeds-your-health]   🌐 CONNECT WITH THE NAIJA GODDESS Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess [http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess [https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess [https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess] Email: Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com [Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com] Recipes, classes, and holistic resources: https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com [https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com] 🎙️ PODCAST: Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess drops every Monday.

Clean Beauty Isn’t the Same Thing as Healthy Ep20

✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE Each episode of Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess invites you to think differently about what it really means to heal. We separate fact from fiction, uncover what is often overlooked in modern health conversations, and bring truth to the surface through evidence-based dialogue and lived experience. In this week's conversation, Daphne of Makeup Queen Cosmetics joins me to go beneath the surface of what clean beauty actually means, why what you put on your skin is a health decision, and how your breakouts may be telling you something your doctor never explained. We also cover the difference between professional and mass beauty products, how to build a starter kit that works for your skin, and why confidence is the only foundation that never fades. Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.   🎙️ THIS WEEK'S GUEST This week's guest is Daphne of Makeup Queen Cosmetics, a professional makeup artist, beauty entrepreneur, and founder who built her brand around the gap between clean beauty formulations and professional-level performance. Frustrated by clean brands that lacked pigmentation and pro brands that lacked ingredient transparency, Daphne created Makeup Queen Cosmetics to deliver both: long-wear, high-pigment products free of formaldehyde, parabens, phthalates, and hormone-disrupting chemicals. She also works with aspiring entrepreneurs through private labeling, helping women launch their own makeup brands. In this conversation, we dig into clean beauty standards, ingredient literacy, skin prep, brush hygiene, and the mindset every woman needs when she looks in the mirror. https://www.instagram.com/makeupqueencosmetics6/ [https://www.instagram.com/makeupqueencosmetics6/]   🍽️ FEATURED RECIPE Creamy Cajun Pasta with Crispy Chickpeas and Garlicky Kale Salad A pantry-friendly, fully plant-based meal inspired by today's conversation around inner beauty and outer radiance. Built on a silky cashew cream sauce with Cajun-inspired spices, lupini bean pasta, navy beans, and crispy seasoned chickpeas, this dish delivers 39 grams of protein and 20 grams of fiber per serving, along with 50% of your daily iron needs, 50% magnesium, and 120% copper, all without a single animal product. This is what we mean when we say food is medicine.   💜 NAIJA GODDESS SPOTLIGHT ✨ Featured Offer: Nourish by Naija The system behind the food. If today's recipe and philosophy resonated with you, the Nourish by Naija book and method take you all the way through, with plant-based recipes, the PF3 framework, and a flexible healing approach designed for real women with real lives. 🛒 Get your copy of NOURISH BY NAIJA: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb [https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb]   🌐 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess [http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess [https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en [https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en] Email: mailto:Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com [Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com] Get recipes, classes, and holistic resources at: https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com [https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com]

The Glyphosate Trap: Why the New Executive Order Threatens Your Family’s Health EP 19

✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE Each episode of Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess invites you to think differently about what it really means to heal. We separate fact from fiction, uncover what's often overlooked in modern health conversations, and bring truth to the surface through evidence-based dialogue and lived experience. In this week's conversation, my husband joins me to explore the Executive Order signed February 18, 2026 designating glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as a cornerstone of national security, and what that means for your food, your family, and your long-term health. We separate the genuine wins of the MAHA movement from a policy decision that takes us two critical steps backward, and give you practical tools to protect yourself right now. Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.   🎙️ THIS WEEK'S GUEST This week's guest is my husband, joining me as co-host for a candid conversation about one of the most consequential food policy decisions in recent memory. We discuss the glyphosate executive order, its connection to elemental phosphorus, national security, and what it means for the biological health of every American household.   🥗 FEATURED RECIPE Cilantro Quinoa and Chickpea Bowl with Balsamic Tahini Dressing A simple, plant-based dish built from prepped components that come together in minutes. This phosphate-rich bowl features cilantro, a natural heavy metal binder, making it directly relevant to today's conversation about reducing your body's glyphosate burden and supporting detoxification through everyday food.   🌿 HERBAL SPOTLIGHT Cilantro Traditionally used to bind and eliminate heavy metals and environmental toxins from the body, cilantro supports the body's natural detoxification process by attaching to toxins and facilitating their removal through the digestive tract. Learn how to incorporate it as more than a garnish and use it as a functional food in your daily healing practice.   💜 NAIJA GODDESS SPOTLIGHT ✨ Featured Product: Sea Moss Gel As glyphosate exposure continues to deplete critical minerals from both our soil and our bodies, sea moss gel offers a rich, bioavailable source of trace minerals that support thyroid function, gut integrity, and cellular health. It is a foundational tool for anyone working to restore what environmental toxins take away. 🛒 Shop Sea Moss Gel: 👉 https://www.thenaijagoddess.com/shop [https://www.thenaijagoddess.com/shop] 🛒 Get your copy of NOURISH BY NAIJA, the plant-based guide that helps you prepare foods that fit your life and feed your health: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb [https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb]   🌐 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess [http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess [https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en [https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en] Email: mailto:Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com [Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com] Get recipes, classes, and holistic resources at: https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com [https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com]   ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Teaching to the Test Is Failing Kids: The STEAM and AI Fix Ep 18

✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE Each episode of Informed Choice with The Naija Goddess invites you to think differently about what it really means to heal.

In this week’s conversation, W. Keith Burgess joins me to explore how to evaluate health claims like a scientist, revealing insights that help you see your health through a clearer lens and take practical steps toward lasting change. Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.   🎙️ THIS WEEK’S GUEST This week’s guest is W. Keith Burgess, known for his work as a middle grades STEM educator and researcher focused on rigorous science learning, identity, and access. We discuss how misinformation works, how to verify sources fast using lateral reading, and how to train your household to demand better evidence before believing a claim.  https://www.facebook.com/w.keith.burgess.1 [https://www.facebook.com/w.keith.burgess.1] 🥗 FEATURED RECIPE Roasted Marinara with Mushroom-Walnut Crumble Tonight’s dish is a kid-friendly spaghetti that still holds a high standard, just like the solutions we are discussing for school. I’m roasting and blending tomatoes, garlic, and onions into a rich, naturally sweet sauce, then serving it over high-protein Brami pasta for more staying power. For the protein, I’m using a mushroom-walnut mixture that brings a hearty, familiar “meaty” texture without losing the comfort-food feel. The point is simple: you can meet young people where they are and still raise the bar. Spaghetti is familiar, but the method is intentional, nutrient-dense, and built to support energy and focus.   🌿 HERBAL SPOTLIGHT Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) Traditionally used to support the respiratory system, mullein is commonly used for soothing the throat and helping the body clear excess mucus.   💜 NAIJA GODDESS SPOTLIGHT ✨ Featured Product: Nourish by Naija Discover how this product aligns with today’s topic and supports your journey toward balanced living. 🛒 Get your copy of NOURISH BY NAIJA, the plant-based guide that helps you prepare foods that fit your life and feed your health: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb [https://www.amazon.com/NOURISH-NAIJA-FLEXIBLE-FEEDS-HEALTH-ebook/dp/B0FP9P9CYZ?ref_=ast_author_mpb]   🌐 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess [http://www.instagram.com/TheNaijaGoddess] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess [https://www.facebook.com/TheNaijaGoddess] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en [https://www.tiktok.com/@thenaijagoddess?lang=en] Email: mailto:Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com [Ini@TheNaijaGoddess.com] Get recipes, classes, and holistic resources at: 🌿 https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com [https://www.TheNaijaGoddess.com]   ⚠️ DISCLAIMER Some links go to my websites or affiliate partners, which may provide a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
