I’ve had four abdominal surgeries in my lifetime. One emergency Caesar section and three laparoscopic surgeries to diagnose and treat endometriosis. Of my four surgeries, two were performed since I adopted the Autoimmune Protocol as my primary autoimmune disease management tool. Being able to compare the first two surgeries, to the last two surgeries, noting positive differences in my research, preparation, and recovery, has inspired ...
Surgery – The AIP Way, Part I
Roasted Cauliflower Soup with Crispy Prosciutto and Gingered Thyme Oil
Where would we Paleo world dwellers be without the cauliflower? I know not everyone can tolerate it but for those who can, it is incredibly versatile. So, however you fit it into your own cooking, be it a substitute for rice or mash, don’t forget that it also makes an amazing soup. Roasting your cauli first brings out a beautiful wholesome, rustic flavor and when ...
Fruit Cake Bites
Sometimes recipe development just sort of…happens. I was in the kitchen four different times between November and January trying to perfect my recipe offering for February (yes, we start working on ideas that far in advance), but it just was not working. I was getting so frustrated trying and I was about to concede another defeat when I opened my pantry and looked at ...
Essential Lessons on Wellness, Learned from the Dying
I can’t entirely explain it, but I have always been drawn to hospice work. I worked as a Registered Nurse in hospice care for twelve years before my work evolved into health coaching. My time working in hospice care has always informed my view of a patient’s whole health — and recently, I was reminded of some of the beautiful and challenging moments this work ...
Maple Sage Breakfast Patties
Here is a new addition to my collection of breakfast patties — see my Italian-Spiced 50/50 Sausages and Three-Herb Beef Patties elsewhere on the blog! I think you will thoroughly enjoy the flavor stars in this one, maple and sage, especially when combined with pork. Breakfast patties are a batch-cooker’s dream — like I’ve mentioned before, I like to cook a batch of these and freeze ...
Berkey Water Filter Review
Today I’m going to share about one of my favorite kitchen items, my Royal Berkey Water Filter! I’ve owned my unit for two years, and it has proved to be a simple, affordable, and practical solution to water filtration for my family. One reason why it has taken me so long to write about is that I just don’t think about it… filling the unit ...

“Chocolate” Strawberry Tarts
I generally don’t bake because it can be so time-consuming. And when you’re not using standard flours or sugars, it can often be expensive, too. So my autoimmune protocol-friendly desserts tend to be fruit, plain and simple. Maybe a smoothie or a bit of “nice cream”. Peaches with just a drizzle of honey. Warm pears sprinkled with cinnamon. Mmf. I mean, does that stuff sound ...
