Escaping the Amish Community, Non-Toxic Skincare, Thyroid Health, and More with Lizzie Ens
Are you familiar with the Amish community? Today on Midlife Conversations, I’m thrilled to sit down with my friend Lizzie Ens, a board-certified functional practitioner. Lizzie shares her incredible story of escaping from a strict Amish community in her late teens and navigating the outside world without prior knowledge or connections.
Lizzie shares fascinating details about her upbringing, including the rigid rules and lifestyle of the Amish. She reveals how it has shaped her approach to health and wellness today. Her unique background surprisingly led to her passion for gut health, toxins, and hormonal balance, as well as her remarkable line of non-toxic skincare products. Join us for this fascinating conversation filled with resilience, transformation, and inspiring health insights.
Being Raised Amish
Growing up, Lizzie lived on an 80 acre farm with her family with 18 siblings. From the strictest type of Amish community there is, they had no electricity, no running water, no indoor plumbing, etc. You always had to have your elbows covered, pin your dress a certain way, make your own clothes and underwear, etc. Her 8th grade graduation card read “You’re promoted to house work.” Her neighbors, however, were not Amish so she was able to “see” how others were living, even if she was not able to partake. At 17, she went next door and they helped her run away (for the first time). After a few days, she returned home – until she left again for good!
She eventually decided to one last time break away from the ‘simplicity’ she knew of Amish life. Driven by a desire to help people in the modern world make healthier choices and embrace a cleaner living lifestyle for better health, she became health and wellness coach, working with both local and celebrity clients. Most recently, she launched a brand, “Miss Commando,” and encourages women to reclaim their health by using non-toxic products.
Such a captivating and inspiring story on this podcast!
