How Karalynne went 15 years med-free by answering one hard question: "Are you ready to work?"
Why she threw away her deodorant and how hidden chemicals like glyphosate are fueling chronic illness.
Why your genetics might be stopping you from detoxing, and the exact product swaps you need to fix it.
Hey Everyone!
I am so excited because I got to speak with a good friend of mine Karalynne Call a little while ago. You guys know her as the powerhouse behind Just Ingredients, but I know her from back in the day, sweating it out in a High Fitness class before her company was built.
I wanted to share this specific conversation with you because Karalynne’s story mirrors so many of ours in this community. Before she was the ingredient guru, she was a mom of six hitting absolute rock bottom.
Fifteen years ago, Karalynne was battling severe, treatment-resistant depression. She did everything she was told to do. She went to doctor after doctor, took the antidepressants, and just kept getting worse.
It got so dark that she actually attempted to take her own life.
When she told me this, I got chills. I told her about my own horrific experience during chemotherapy. I told her how the drugs and the toxicity made me feel like I was losing my mind, severing my connection to God and my own spirit.
We both know what it feels like when the standard medical answers fail you.
But the turning point for Karalynne was a doctor who finally looked at her differently. After two years of searching, she found someone who didn't look at her depression as a Prozac deficiency, but as a body screaming for help.
He told her: "Yes, you can heal by cleaning up your gut, reducing inflammation, and balancing your hormones. But it will take work. Are you ready to work?"
Karalynne said "yes!"
She spent 18 months overhauling her life. She cleaned up her diet, removing toxins from her home, and healing her gut. And she beat it. She hasn't been on medication for 15 years.
We went really deep in this interview, much more than I can share in a single email. Karalynne breaks down the specific swaps she made to save her life, the exact supplements she refuses to live without, and her thoughts on energy healing.
Here you can listen to the full interview and get access to the expert insights that changed her life.
One of the most fascinating parts of our chat was when Karalynne connected her mental health journey to cancer.
Around the same time Karalynne was healing her depression, her sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Her sister’s oncologist gave her advice that sounded exactly like what Karalynne was hearing for her depression, you have to stop fueling the fire.
He told her to ditch the sugar, throw away the Teflon pans, and, crucially for us, stop using aluminum deodorant immediately.
He explained that rubbing those metals right next to your lymph nodes and breast tissue creates blockage in your body's detoxification pathways.
This is where Just Ingredients was born.
Karalynne didn't start a business just to sell things, she started it because she was frustrated.
She tried to follow the doctor's orders, but she realized that the natural aisle wasn’t reliable. She saw companies slapping clean labels on bottles that were still full of hidden fragrances and fillers.
She told me, "I couldn't find products I trusted to put on my own children, so I had to make them."
We talked about how Just Ingredients has grown into a massive resource for our community, specifically because she refuses to compromise on the things that matter to us:
The Deodorant: She formulated a magnesium-based deodorant specifically to help us avoid aluminum while still actually working. She knows we need to keep those lymph pathways open.
The Protein: We know that healing bodies need fuel, but most protein powders are full of junk. She sources grass-fed whey from New Zealand to ensure we are getting food, not chemicals.
The Methylated B-Complex: This was a huge topic for us. Many of us have the MTHFR gene mutation that makes it hard to detox. She built a supplement specifically to help our bodies take out the trash.
She even wrote the book on it, literally. Her guide, The Inflammatory Reset, is basically a manual for doing exactly what she and her sister did, lowering the inflammation that allows disease to thrive.
Karalynne said something I’m going to steal, "God is my best business partner."
It reminded me that we have to trust our intuition. When the world is telling you to poison your body to heal it, but your gut says nourish it, listen to that voice.
