\n

{real food} :: \u2026food as close to the way God created it as possible, free of additives and over-processing.\xa0

\n

Trina Holden vulnerably shares how panic attacks and stress plagued her for years. And constantly worrying about what other\u2019s thought had made a physical impact.

\n

First she began to make small changes in her diet. Because of her\xa0gradual approach to eating healthier foods, she has sustained a \u201creal food\u201d lifestyle for years.

\n

Trina also worked on re-wiring her brain to recognize God as the only One she needs to gain approval. Then to remember through Christ\u2019s work, she is pre-approved.
