Why I Ditched Vegetables to Heal Lupus with Holly Beck EP 31

In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt I sat down with Holly Beck, a lupus coach, autoimmune warrior, and absolute firecracker of a woman, who shared her 20-year journey through chronic fatigue, a lupus diagnosis, and finding healing through food, farming, and fierce self-advocacy. This one’s personal (my dad had lupus too) and it was powerful to talk about the truths nobody tells you about autoimmune disease. We dug into the carnivore diet, how food actually impacts our bodies, the problems with our grocery store system, and why CSA boxes and farm-raised meat might just be the cure we’re all ignoring. We also had some real-deal talk about what it means to return to community, raise food the old-fashioned way, and find freedom in knowing your farmer.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve got autoimmune symptoms, care about food freedom, or just want to learn how to eat and live like your great-grandma did…with purpose, joy, and connection.
