91: Reversing Leukemia with Holistic Nutrition & A Chef's Healing Journey PART 1 | Christina Pirello

I AM HealingStrong

Christina Pirello, an emmy-winning celebrity chef, shares her extraordinary journey from her Italian roots to becoming a renowned authority in holistic health and nutrition. Christina's story is a testament to the power of change in daily nutrition, as a driving force in healing. Christina recounts her family traditions that shaped her culinary passions and how these early experiences influenced her path towards a healthier lifestyle later on.
Christina's life took a dramatic turn when she was faced with a terminal leukemia diagnosis. Refusing to accept the conventional route and medical recommendations to her situation, she turned to macrobiotics, supported by her husband, Robert. Despite initial resistance and skepticism, her commitment to a strict diet brought about a remarkable recovery that left her doctors baffled. Christina opens up about these challenging times and how they propelled her into a career of teaching and inspiring others to embrace the healing power of nutrition.
