Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rebecca Stuart. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

This defining moment hit me hard and fast—like the ultimate “aha” in the eye of a storm of observations. I’d just launched my private Nutritional Therapy Practice, called Liberty Wellness and Co. thrilled to work one-on-one with clients and discover my niche in the health world. But then an event unfolded that changed everything.

As a dedicated Board Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I was glued to my phone, watching Senator Ron Johnson’s live roundtable in DC on our nation’s health crisis—the spark that ignited the MAHA movement. It lit me on fire! Hearing big names tackle real issues in our country’s health pandemic was electrifying. Did you know over 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy? 93%!!! I was buzzing with excitement as senators listened and posed smart questions about how legislation could shift the needle on national health.

That same day, my daughter—a sophomore at Purdue University—called, begging me to help her friends. They were all sick and clueless about self-care. In that instant, it clicked: Everyone was talking about reaching parents and changing laws, but who was teaching the next generation to make smart health choices?

That afternoon, I dove deep into health curricula for homeschoolers. I’d been a homeschool mom for over 11 years, so I started there. My own kids’ materials were woefully inadequate. After scouring the options, I saw a glaring gap: Nothing on the market truly educated kids on real health, empowered them, or activated lasting change. MAHA was spotlighting how to heal our nation, but I had the tools—I needed to step up.

I pitched my local homeschool community a beta testing semester of my high school health course: a live online class that’s now launched and transforming kids’ lives! What started as joy and excitement evolved into bold questioning and a whole new branch of my practice. My goal? Offer it to homeschoolers nationwide—it already meets National Health Education Standards.

Right now, it’s live and interactive, and a self-paced version is coming soon, opening it to anyone. Eventually, I’ll adapt it for private and public schools. True cultural change starts with equipping the next generation! If I’d known at 16 what I know now, I’d dodge so many health struggles. Today’s kids face unprecedented diseases—we must empower them to thrive.

This course goes beyond nutrition: It teaches reading food labels and grocery shopping, finding doctors and navigating insurance, understanding patient rights and informed consent, regulating blood sugar to prevent metabolic disease, and more. Each week tackles a topic with a quiz and an activation—like the sleep module, where students track sleep habits over multiple days, then tweak their routines for real improvement.

The magic happens in live sessions: Sharing eye-popping facts, watching their wonder, laughing together. Getting to know these kids has restored my hope for the future!

Rebecca, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’m a National Board Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner—yes, it’s a mouthful! I founded Liberty Wellness & Co., an online practice dedicated to unraveling complex chronic health puzzles. My clients battle conditions like EBV, Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, seizures, SIBO, mold illness/CIRS, and more. Using blood labs, bioresonance scans, and targeted testing, I hunt for root causes—because healing the foundation creates a ripple effect throughout the body.

As a non-prescriber, I partner with clients through diet, supplements, and lifestyle shifts. My people? They’ve seen every doctor, chased every lead, and still hit walls. I believe the body’s default setting is healing—our job is to clear the path. Nothing lights me up like walking alongside someone who’s lost hope, reigniting their spark, and watching them reclaim freedom: hiking with their kids, traveling without fear, living again.

I also created Whole Health for Teens, a homeschool high school course that’s the ultimate MAHA playbook for the next generation. It’s science-driven, zero dogma—just practical, life-changing modules on nutrition, blood sugar regulation, sleep hygiene, patient rights, grocery mastery, and more. Each week pairs a quiz with an activation (track your sleep, decode labels, build a meal)—turning knowledge into power.

This summer, I launched the Liberty Wellness with Rebecca Stuart podcast—sparked by my students begging for more. Their schedules are packed, but they love podcasts, so I built a bite-sized audio extension: deeper dives, Q&As, and (because it’s my space) explorations of how spirit, soul, and body intertwine. Not every episode goes there—plenty are pure science—but it’s my outlet to share how all three parts of us dance together.

I’m a Christian, but you won’t find faith in my practice or teen course. Those are strictly science-based. The podcast? That’s where I get to weave in the bigger picture when it fits.

Here’s what I’m proudest of: starting. Perfectionism, a touch of OCD, and a lifelong fear of people made launching a practice, teaching teens, and hitting “record” feel like open-heart surgery. This has been the scariest, messiest, most alive year of my life—battling imposter syndrome and the terror of judgment. But I keep reminding myself: Everyone who ever did anything started small, started scared, started messy. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the first step.

I named my business Liberty Wellness and Co because I fought chronic illness for 25 years. Doctors shrugged. Answers hid outside the box. When I finally broke free, I realized: Health = Freedom. No more surviving the day—just dreaming, building, leaving a legacy.

Whether it’s a client’s breakthrough or a teen’s “aha” moment, the formula is the same: One simple change. Then another. That’s how we conquer bodies, dreams, and everything in between.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I had to unlearn everything I thought I knew about health. As a sick mama bear, I could handle my own chronic struggles—but when both my kids got sick and doctors shrugged, it ignited a fury I didn’t know I had. We’d do anything to fix it.

So we turned to documentaries, “internet doctors,” and social media gurus. The loudest chorus? Vegan = healing. Overnight, our family went raw, clean, 100% vegan. For six months, it worked—symptoms eased, hope soared.

Then the stall. Three years in, my 16-year-old daughter—my vibrant, colorful social butterfly—vanished. (She’s given me permission to share; her story even earned her a full university scholarship.)
In one month, she:
– Lost the light in her eyes
– Withdrew completely
– Started cutting
– Developed an eating disorder
– Attempted suicide

We raced to doctors, counselors—more questions than answers. A functional practitioner finally ran labs: abysmal. Every marker tanked. Why?

I was drowning. Homeschooling by day, driving a school bus at 5:30 a.m. to pay bills. One freezing morning, tears streaming as I gripped the wheel, I begged God for one sign—anything. Over and over, a word echoed: “Carnivore.” I had no clue what it meant. That afternoon, a friend messaged: “Watch this.”
An 18-year-old—vegan for three years (like us)—suffered identical physical and mental collapse… then flipped to carnivore and reversed it in weeks.
Aha. Carnivore = diet. I dove in. Presented it to my husband—he heard “bacon” and was sold. We jumped—all in.

The first three weeks? Brutal. Then, like a switch:
– Color flooded her eyes
– Laughter returned
– Joy, energy, her—back

My mama heart exploded. Food wasn’t just fuel—it was medicine. And everything I’d swallowed from screens had nearly destroyed us.
When we could afford it, I quit the bus, enrolled in nutrition school, and chased the science behind the miracle. Carnivore saved us—but I refused to trade one dogma for another. Veganism blinded me once; I wouldn’t let carnivore do the same. Open-mindedness became my north star. Healing demands humility—admitting you don’t know, staying curious, pivoting when evidence demands it.
That breakdown birthed my breakthrough:
Food is information. Dogma is dangerous. Healing starts with listening—to your body, to new ideas, to whispers at 5:30 a.m.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

I wish I’d discovered this path in high school—I would’ve run toward it! Helping people light up again? Infusing hope? Walking beside someone as they reclaim their life? It’s everything to me.

As a kid, I dreamed of being a doctor—until a hand tremor hit at 12. Suddenly, anything requiring steady hands felt impossible. In high school, I quietly buried that dream, heartbroken. Decades later? I found this: a way to spark real healing without touching a body—yet changing everything for them. No scalpels. No steady hands needed. Just science, empathy, and relentless curiosity.

Now? I get to be the catalyst I once needed—the one who says, “You’re not broken. We’re just getting started.”

If you’re tired of dead ends and ready for answers that stick, let’s talk. I’ve been where you are—and I’d love to walk with you out the other side. 💛
