Anna Just

Anna is a mother deeply committed to assisting people with rare illnesses and medical conditions. She shares about her life and the challenges as she battles a neurological disorder that causes inflammation in her joints, muscles, and nerves. Unfortunately, the medications she takes to manage her condition don't always provide relief from pain and muscle stiffness. As a result, Anna has taken it upon herself to research diets and supplements that may help her cope with her condition. She uses assistive devices to get around New York with her son and husband. Living with disabilities, Anna raises her son to be accepting and attentive to everyone, even if they look different or have special needs. She shares her daily experiences in heartwarming stories and provides tools for sparking meaningful conversations about disability, diversity, and friendship. The gentle approach taken by author Anna helps children navigate these essential topics with sensitivity and care, fostering a positive attitude towards differences from an early age.

Anna enjoys making homemade food with her son. The recipes she shares in her diet book are great for kids and adults, not just those struggling with pain, inflammation, and weight loss. She has also traveled worldwide and shares her experiences and healthy recipes in her book. She recounts stories and culinary wisdom from her journeys, such as a 90-year-old Japanese grandma's fish soups that can help prevent arthritis, the VERDE green juicing system from a Costa Rican yoga retreat, and the healing teas and berries of New Zealand's native Māori people. Anna's passion lies in assisting individuals with autoimmune disorders, and her journey inspires many.
