This recipe is based on an old favorite I used to make in my pre-Paleo days, which involved baking a mixture of pineapple, walnuts, coconut shreds and rum into hollowed-out pineapple halves. I despaired of ever coming up with an autoimmune protocol-friendly version of that recipe…until I decided to also stuff it with everyone’s other favorite tropical fruit, banana! Bananas have a wonderful flavor ...

Bring on the Oxytocin! How Healthy Relationships Literally Make Us Healthy
Have you ever been in conflict with your partner or friend and you find yourself thinking about it obsessively? You may even notice that you have a headache, are sleeping poorly, and indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream (or wine). Some of us feel the impact of our relationships viscerally and clearly. When I am not in good relationship with my husband or ...
Watermelon-Basil Shrub (A Drink!)
Can I interest you in drinking a shrub? Uh, what? As strange as it sounds, shrubs are a “drinking vinegar” that dates far, far back as a way to preserve fruits. It was most popular in the U.S. during colonial times, but if you are from the Deep South you might know that it never really went out of style. I came across this ...
Oven Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Orange Glaze
I have three teenage daughters at home and getting them on board of the Paleo train was a small challenge at the beginning. This was a little bit over three years ago. Why eat wholesome, nutrient-dense whole foods when you can have pizza, right? After all, kids are taught at school that French fries count as a serving of vegetables. *Insert cringe here.* Don’t ...

Within the autoimmune community, I’ve heard many people talk about a decreased ability to recover from exercise. “I can’t do my workout like I used to,” “I take twice as long to recover,” “I’ve had to stop running.” It’s frustrating when, in addition to the symptoms you live with daily, you can’t handle the physical activities that bring you joy. I don’t have a degree ...

Lox and Everything Sweet Potatoes
Now that I’m back in Chicago for the summer, I have been craving all the ethnic food that lines the streets of downtown. I live right in the heart of the city, so the constant bombardment of glorious pizza smells, posters for homemade pierogis, and LED menus advertising $10 Indian lunch buffets is both torturous and inspiring. In Montreal, where I was born and ...
Methylation Series Part I – Methylation and Folate
Introduction A few of you know that a part of my current health journey has been finding out that I am compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutations, C677T and A1298C, both of which can result in impaired methylation (if that all sounds like gibberish to you, read on for definitions!). I’ve been holding back writing articles on this topic mostly because it is quite difficult ...
