From Food Fear to Food Freedom: A Healing Journey with Fallon Lee | Ep. 26

Can food really heal your body and your family?
In this episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam sit down with Fallon Lee, a holistic health advocate, writer, and mama of three, to unpack her powerful story of healing—both physical and spiritual. Fallon vulnerably shares how her health began unraveling in early adulthood and escalated after becoming a mother. But when her infant son began experiencing severe eczema, anaphylactic allergies, and respiratory issues, Fallon went from surviving to seeking.
What followed was a deep dive into ancestral nutrition, food freedom, and holistic wellness that not only brought her Hashimoto’s into remission but helped her son heal in ways doctors said weren’t possible.
 
Guest Bio:
Fallon Lee is a holistic health writer, wife, and homeschooling mom of three boys. Her passion for real food, natural healing, and home-centered living was sparked by her son’s extreme health challenges and her own autoimmune journey. Now in remission from Hashimoto’s and walking in food freedom, Fallon shares resources and encouragement for other families through her online platform, where she’s known for sneaking nourishing ingredients into meals that even husbands love. Her heart is to empower women to create peaceful, healing homes—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

What happens when you chase spiritual freedom, only to find yourself more lost than ever?
In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with former model and writer Ali Tate to unpack her journey out of the New Age movement and into something far more grounding. From breathwork and plant medicine to church pews and monogamy, Ali shares how her search for truth led her to Jesus in the most unexpected ways.
She opens up about what changed when she became a mother, why she believes self-denial is actually a gift, and how letting go of her old identity made room for peace and purpose. It’s a powerful conversation about spiritual hunger, cultural confusion, and the kind of love that transforms everything.
