8 Unexpected Benefits of the Autoimmune Protocol

As anyone who has grappled with autoimmune disease knows, it’s not something you can heal with a pill or procedure. My health coaching clients who are new to dealing with autoimmune disease often feel like they’re living in an alternate reality— like any disorienting experience, it can come with its fair share of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear.

This is a creamy version of a traditional ice cream float, which you could ...

Calamari Summer Salad

  This month I’m bringing you a recipe with a protein source I’m willing to bet you’ve been overlooking… squid, or as very refined folks call it, calamari.
