Summary
A chef with endometriosis was able to overcome her symptoms and reverse her condition by putting her culinary skills to work to heal with food.
Chef Bai was told that the best she could hope for was to manage the symptoms of her debilitating condition. But she wanted more than that. She didn’t want to live that way. She wanted to be healthy. And today she is!
Chef Bai shares her remarkable comeback story with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
She put many of her healing recipes in her cookbook, Cook. Heal. Go Vegan!
