The Amazing Healing Journey

From Broken to Whole: My Journey from Chronic Illness to Providential Health

Sherry - 06/18/2026

            I have always wanted to be a healer.

My life actually started with a healing. I am one of six home-birthed children, and my mom believed fiercely in prayer. When I was born with an imperforate anus, my mother prayed for me, and the Lord God healed me. Many other occasions of healing took place throughout my childhood, making me believe that the body should always exist in a healthy, happy state.

As I grew older, however, I began to see so many people sick and suffering. They weren’t being healed. Even worse, I realized many of those people didn't think life could be any different; they thought it was just normal to feel bad all the time. I noticed there were way more people in wheelchairs, more people born with congenital diseases, more people with Autism, and more people wearing glasses. I began to wonder why.

And then, my world was turned upside down. My mother—who had been healed every time she had a health problem (including kidney poisoning and severe burns), who had witnessed many miracles, and whom I loved so much and wanted to be just like—died of lymphoma.

That was when I truly began to wonder why.

The Downward Spiral

The pain and stress of losing my mom caused me to go into a downward spiral of sickness and depression that lasted a decade. I struggled with suicidal thoughts. I hated everyone, tried to avoid being around people, and I hated myself. Horrible nightmares set the tone for each day's negative thoughts.

I got used to being sick every morning. I got used to blacking out when I stood up. Then, more symptoms showed up: swollen legs, dizziness, a swollen neck, sore breasts, a racing or skipping heart, and episodes of becoming unresponsive.

Over the years, the heartbreak kept coming. My young cousin and my friends all died of cancer. That is when my grief turned into anger. I didn’t just say, “I wonder why?” anymore. I said, “I’m gonna find out why!”

Finding the Clues

I began studying, reading, and learning. I started with prayer and the Bible. Then, I discovered online health summits and watched as many of them as I could. Through my research, I realized one common denominator among all types of cancer is sugar. I realized the number one cause of all sickness is the food we eat.

The day I passed out in a retail store, I decided I had to get help. For weeks, I had been afraid to drive or be alone, terrified I might die. My mental and physical states were destroying me. Knowing I did not want to live on prescription drugs for the rest of my life, I went to see a Naturopathic doctor.

She told me my adrenals were crashing and my body was totally depleted of nutrition. She recommended targeted supplements and told me to completely change my diet.

The results were amazing! Within two weeks, my life was set back right. No more heart palpitations. No more pain. No more sickness. No more fainting. No more migraines. I could live again!

The Prescription for Change

I want to share exactly what my naturopathic doctor advised me to do. While everyone is different and should be evaluated for their individual needs, these recommendations are known to bring results across the board:

• Remove all grains: No crackers, cookies, cakes, pies, or pasta. (Not even gluten free)

• Avoid all sugar: No refined sugar, maple syrup, or sweeteners.

• Eat only low-sugar fruits: Stick to berries and low-sugar apples for dessert (avoiding bananas, peaches, pineapple, grapes, and high-sugar fruits).

• Limit dairy: She recommended no dairy products, though I chose to keep eating a small amount.

I also took a nutritional assessment test to see exactly which nutrients I was missing. The results were stark. My hormones were basically non-existent, and I was low in almost all my mineral and vitamin levels. To help my adrenal glands, she suggested I start taking a B-complex vitamin and B-6.

Just like anyone else reading that list, my first thought was, “What in the world am I supposed to eat?!”

But I got creative and learned a new way of eating. There really is an abundance of good food available to us; we just have to broaden our view and try new things. I also learned that our modern taste buds have been hijacked. Once I got rid of the junk and realigned my palate to real food, I found that even lemons taste sweet!

What I learned comes down to this: We just need to eat real food.

A Mission to Heal

As I continued to listen to doctors and health professionals, I learned more about how deeply food affects us. As I kept praying, the Lord spoke to my spirit and said:

“MAN WAS MADE FROM THE GROUND; MAN MUST EAT FROM THE GROUND.”

I have since become a passionate advocate for eating food that God made, rather than food that man made. Now, I am certain that our bodies can heal when we eat the right foods, clean up our lifestyles, and say goodbye to daily toxins.

My next step was to tell everyone the good news. I wanted to help other people change their lives just like I changed mine. I wanted everyone to know that they can be happy, healthy, and whole.

I enrolled in the Institute of Transformational Nutrition founded by Cynthia Pasquella and earned my coaching certification. A few years later, I went through the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program to become an FDN-P. I am continually expanding my education with more courses and certifications.

My mission is to let people know that God made provision for the entire man. We can be healed—heart, soul, mind, and strength. Hence the name of my business: PROVIDENTIAL HEALTH.

Today, I use my experience and training to help others find their own path to wholeness...
