HI, I’m Ann Metcalfe and I’m the founder/creator of Smart Foods to Freedom.
Ever felt like you’ve been sleep-walking through life and accepting things as they are just because? Fast forward a few decades to a new awareness of how much deeper I dove and you can too in order to be more fully present to life, and especially to that which sustains our physical being: FOOD!
Nearly twenty years ago I developed Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disorder that changed my life for the better! I ate my way to better health and because I am curious, determined and a lifelong learner I am understanding more and more about our gut microbiome. Our food choices affect all aspects of our lives: mental and physical for starters.
This awakening journey I co-created is much different from the hospital nursing I used to do and now as a school teacher I get to take those skills down another path to teach others how they can be more present to the food they eat in order to be the best version of themselves.
Mt Kilimanjaro, and Mt Everest Base camp were mental and physical challenges ten years ago, and now I enjoy local hiking, walking half marathons, circle dancing and enjoying food and friends. I’m a published author and poet, jeweler, and my passion is creating peace on Earth by creating peace within ourselves.
I invite you to explore new possibilities beyond what you thought was possible. I did and you can too!
