Chronically Fabulous: Finding Wholeness and Hope Living with Chronic Illness

When Marisa Zeppieri was 22-years-old she found herself face-to-face with a raven-haired elderly woman who had emerged from a crowd and gently taken her hands: God will use these hands to change peoples lives.Years later Marisas once-spirited demeanor was shrouded in anger and bitterness. Triggered first by a near-fatal car accident that sent her 100-lb body flying from a crosswalk and later by a painful Lupus diagnosis she became stuck in a season of brokenness.But in the seasons that followed an insatiable emotional spiritual and physical hunger took over: She learned how to nourish her broken body with the help of food herbs and a gastronomically-gifted Italian grandmother while also nourishing her broken heart and crushed spirit through a deeper relationship with God.With Chronically Fabulous Marisa fulfills the old womans prophecy by offering pure nourishment to those of us living with chronic illness helping us create wholeness and well-being through a love of food. Here the founder of LupusChick a nonprofit supporting those with autoimmune diseases offers guiding principles personal stories and recipes that support whole-life thriving. With the depth smarts and spiritual advice beloved by her dedicated followers Marisa shows us how faith passion and persistence can radically change our lives.
