Marva Riley, RN Author Holistic Health Advocate

I am a Registered Nurse, holistic health advocate, and author of four health and wellness books. My passion is helping people reclaim their health and experience total wellness through a holistic, whole-person approach.

Years ago, I was critically ill, struggling with multiple health challenges. That turning point led me on a powerful healing journey. By embracing a plant-based lifestyle, moderate exercise, adequate rest and sleep, time in nature, fresh air, sunlight, prayer, and meditation, I transformed my health—mind, body, and spirit.

Today, I’m living proof that healing is possible. Through this channel, I share practical guidance, encouragement, and real-life strategies to help you take ownership of your health and create lasting wellness.

If you’re ready to begin—or continue—your own healing journey, I invite you to walk this path with me.

Two Ways a High-Carb Diet Fuels Chronic Inflammation

1️⃣ Blood Sugar Spikes = Silent Inflammation
Frequent high-carb meals → repeated glucose spikes → insulin resistance → chronic inflammation.
Over time, this raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, joint pain, and cognitive decline.

2️⃣ Sugar Feeds Gut Imbalance
Refined carbs feed harmful gut bacteria → leaky gut → immune system stays activated.
Result: systemic inflammation linked to autoimmune issues, brain fog, and dementia risk.

The Takeaway

Carbs aren’t the enemy—refined carbs are.

✔️ Choose: vegetables, beans, whole foods
❌ Limit: sugar, white flour, ultra-processed carbs

Protect your heart. Protect your brain. Reduce inflammation.
