97: Healing from the Inside Out with Lynn Oberstein Feder
In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Lynn Oberstein Feder, a passionate mother, baker, and wellness advocate whose lifelong health journey led her to profound transformation—both personally and professionally.
Lynn shares her early struggles with chronic illness and the cascade of misdiagnoses and overuse of antibiotics that left her searching for answers. We talk about the toll of conventional medicine, the power of homeopathic remedies, and the critical importance of finding a provider who truly listens.
Her journey to healing began with food—specifically, the gut-healing power of bone broth and a complete shift in her dietary habits. Through her experience, Lynn discovered not just better health, but a calling. Motivated by her daughter’s dietary restrictions, she began developing nutrient-dense, gluten-free breads that eventually blossomed into her business, Lynn's Life Breads.
We explore how food quality impacts the microbiome, why ingredient transparency matters, and how healing can happen when you return to your kitchen with purpose and intention. Lynn also opens up about the energetic component of food preparation, and how family-centered cooking can transform health outcomes—especially for children.
This episode is about more than bread—it's about reclaiming your health, trusting your intuition, and turning adversity into empowerment.
Key Takeaways:
- Chronic illness often begins with overlooked or misdiagnosed symptoms
