How to Experience the Benefits of Sweating, Without a Workout

  Every day, we are exposed to a steady stream of chemicals and heavy metals as we go through our lives — from the air we breathe to the water we drink to the food we eat and the clothing we wear. The body naturally eliminates these toxins via the lungs (breathing), kidneys (peeing), GI tract (pooping), and skin (sweating).¹ And, the liver’s role in ...

Cherry Carob Cookies

  O.M.Goodness! Guys! This recipe is ridiculous! Here’s the scoop. I’ve been wanting a cookie recipe that actually tasted and felt like a delicious cookie forever. I think nutrient-density should be far and away our main gig when we are beating back autoimmune disease with diet and lifestyle as our first-line weapons. BUT, I’m also not a nutrient robot. Occcccasionally, I wanna’ have a cookie ...

Now, I am not a picky eater. For instance, hot foods in summer have never been an issue for me. However, after so much soup eating, I am getting ...

Moroccan-Inspired Breakfast Skillet

  One of the most basic Autoimmune Protocol meals is simply meat and compliant vegetables cooked together. Throughout the last five or so years of eating this way, I’ve come up with dozens, if not hundreds, of combinations (you can check out my post Create Your Own Breakfast Skillet for an idea of where to start with your own experimenting!). Skillets are a perfect way ...

Ginger-Lime Salmon with Watermelon Mint Salsa

  I am not surprised to say this is my third salmon recipe for Autoimmune Paleo! I can’t help that this flaky, buttery, nutrient-rich fish is my favorite food and one I enjoy 4 to 5 times a week! My body just positively craves it almost every single day. I attribute that to wild salmon’s stellar nutrient profile. It’s a wonderful source of omega-3’s, selenium, ...
