Why You Should Stop Having Dairy: Recognizing Lactose Intolerance in Children

In a recent episode of the "Good Living Now" podcast, hosted by Harold Leffall, listeners were introduced to the remarkable story of Kate Wharton, a former nurse who transformed her health and the health of her family through plant-based eating. It's a story of resilience, discovery, and the often-overlooked power of nutrition.

From Struggling with Health to Thriving Naturally

Kate's journey began early in her life as a vegetarian, driven by a desire to address chronic stomach issues diagnosed during an iridology test at a herbal shop. Over the years, her path and dietary choices evolved, largely dictated by the health needs of her family. With four children suffering from various ailments—eczema, asthma, and loss of hearing—Kate sought the advice of an herbalist, who illuminated the dietary roots of their conditions. Her realization? It was the dairy and meat the family consumed that were causing these health challenges.

A Family Transformation
The revelation about dairy being detrimental was life-altering for the entire family. By cutting out dairy and switching to plant-based alternatives like soy milk, Kate witnessed dramatic improvements in her children's health, including the return of her daughter's hearing and the alleviation of her son's asthma.

Kate's transformation touched every member of her family, and the lessons learned were profound. When a significant health scare with her son highlighted the dangers of the dietary status quo, Kate vowed to embrace natural healing. Just as she embraced the advice of her herbalist, so too did she lead her family down a new path of health consciousness.

Knowledge is Power
Reflecting on her journey, Kate highlights a critical gap in medical education: nutrition. Like many doctors, Kate was initially unaware of the profound effect diet has on disease. Her experiences underscore the importance of seeking nutritional guidance, especially for conditions assumed to be genetic or unavoidable.

Overcoming Personal Health Challenges
Kate's path was not just about her children's health; it was also deeply personal. Diagnosed as pre-diabetic with high blood pressure, she decided to change. As her diet transformed, so did her prognosis. Through plant-based eating, she reversed her pre-diabetic state and lowered her blood pressure—turning what her doctor described as hereditary health issues into preventable ones.

Embracing the Plant-Based Lifestyle
Transitioning a family to this way of eating took creativity and commitment. From breakfast to dinner, Kate reinvented favorite dishes. Smoothies replaced sugary cereals, and a focus on whole, real foods became a staple in their home. Strategies like making large salads available before dinner and having fruit readily accessible made the switch seamless.

Advice for Health-Conscious Parents
For parents eager to adopt this lifestyle, Kate offers practical advice: Embrace the natural calls of the body for hydration and nourishment with water-rich fruits and vegetables. Transform traditional meals into plant-based alternatives, and make eating healthy fun for kids.
Beyond Personal Success: Sharing Her StoryRealizing the powerful impact of her story, Kate authored a recipe book full of the plant-based dishes that aided her family's recovery, set to release soon. She also shares her daily life and dietary tips on Instagram, providing a window into how simple shifts in food choices can lead to magnificent health benefits.

Encouraging a New Perspective on Health
Kate's story illuminates the potential of nutrition as a first line of defense in healthcare. While doctors readily offer surgical solutions, Kate's experience serves as a powerful reminder: Before resorting to drugs or surgery, consider the innate healing power of food. By choosing to eat a plant-based diet, Kate not only secured her family's health but also laid a foundation for a healthier future, offering a template that others can follow to reclaim their own health, naturally.
​

For those inspired by Kate's journey, her presence on social media offers ongoing support and insight into making dietary changes that can transform lives. Indeed, Kate's story is a testament to the adage, "Let food be thy medicine."
