PODCAST: Janneke Phung and Nathan Mennel

Several weeks ago I was contacted by Nathan, asking if I would be interested in being a guest on his AS/autoimmune podcast. Like myself, Nathan has also experienced relief with dietary and lifestyle modifications. He’s now on a journey to talk to as many people as possible to find shared experiences and opportunities for people to find healing. That’s what I’m all about as well…so I accepted the invitation.

Here’s a link to the chat where we both share a bit more about our stories. Among other things, we discuss our Ankylosing Spondylitis diagnosis stories, flare triggers, personal responsibility, and what it’s like to feel healthy again, etc.

We hope our sharing creates hope and inspiration for others!

If you’re interested in learning more about a starch-free diet, feel peruse Starch-Free Feasting – there are many success stories and delicious recipes!

Also, find the Starch-Free Feasting page on Facebook or Instagram to stay in the loop. I’m constantly sharing more recipes and inspiration!


I created this website with the desire to bring hope and inspiration to others with a similar diagnosis. The thought that my story could encourage others has made this journey worthwhile. Starch-Free Feasting has allowed me to walk closely alongside many who are in the throes of an Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnosis, which is an immense privilege.

My intent with Starch-Free Feasting has always been driven by a desire to ‘pay it forward’. The website is entirely self-funded – my reward has been the meaningful connections I’ve made with many of you. The opportunity to ‘buy me a coffee’ (full disclosure: the funds may be used for recipe ingredients or a good book) exists for those who wish to show tangible support – I’ll take it as a nudge to continue sharing my story.
