‘Nothing convenient about being chronically sick!’ Julia Bradbury makes major change following health diagnosis

Julia Bradbury has revealed the major change she’s made in her diet following a number of health diagnoses.

In 2021, Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy that same year. Following an MRI scan, she was told everything was good on the cancer front. However, instead, they discovered a benign brain cyst.

Last month, the 55-year-old revealed she was planning to have a tumour removed after discovering another lump. Days later, she announced she was feeling “under the weather” and had been put on a drip.

Julia Bradbury reveals she has made changes to her diet

In a new Instagram post shared today (March 18), Julia has opened up about the changes in her diet to improve her health.

In the first slide, she posted a photo of her holding up a plate of chips covered in beans and cheese.

Julia admitted: “I can’t believe that I ate like this regularly less than a decade ago.”

“I really didn’t fully understand the damaging impact that ultra processed food and inflammatory foods can have on our health, our cognitive function, and our energy levels. I lived a busy life and I still do with three children and a full-time career, but back then, that was an excuse to eat food on the run, and use the “convenience” angle.”

She continued: “I can tell you there’s nothing convenient about being chronically sick. Now I make a decision about my health at least two or three times a day when I eat. I choose nourishing whole foods mostly made at home.”

Julia admitted she still treats herself. However, she said she has “changed what those treats look like”.

She said she has ditched refined sugar, candies and sweeties, gluten and dairy filled cakes, and ultra-processed biscuits.

However, her treats now include “delicious blueberries, dark chocolate, date-based mousses, healthy yogurts (no flavourings), and low GI fruit (mostly paired with a handful of nuts) and nut butter-based treats.”

‘Good advice’

In the comments, Julia was supported by her followers.

“Thank you for sharing – I totally agree! Love your work! The food we eat is literally medicine,” one user wrote.

“Me too, thanks for the leadership and inspiration,” another person shared.

“Good advice,” a third remarked.
