EP289: Food as Medicine, Fitness & Celebrity Beauty Secrets with Sally Pressman

Twenty million Americans today suffer from chronic digestive issues.

Actress Sally Pressman, (you may have seen her as “Roxy” from Army Wives or on Grey’s Anatomy, Younger, Good Girls, etc.) became one of them when she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2009. 

Her doctor said medications were her only option, but after a few days of self-directed dietary change - her symptoms were gone.

I met Sally when I worked at the Tracy Anderson Method.

Her work ethic, kindness, and bubbly personality quickly made her one of my favorite clients and I am thrilled to share her beautiful soul and remarkable story in this week’s podcast. 

We talk about all gut healing and the fitness and beauty secrets that made Sally one of Hollywood’s elite. Here are some of the highlights…

• The exercise method Sally (and I) are obsessed with
• The realities of living with an autoimmune illness
• Why doctors do not talk about nutrition 
• The diet that helped manage her autoimmune condition 
• A day in the life of Sally’s diet
