Love the picture. Doesn’t it just make your mouth water? It does mine. I miss me some pancakes smothered with some sugary fruit substance, covered in whipped cream. But, is this what you want for your health? I don’t either but i do still miss it. I realized several years ago [...]
I already know the answer to this question. For most of us women anyway. Where are you on the priority list when it comes to your family, to your job, to your friends, etc. etc.? Let me ask you this question another way. Do you feel guilty for wanting to take time for yourself when you are [...]
What is life after autoimmune? I’m not sure if you saw my post on FB this weekend to wish me good luck in the tournament. If you read that and you are in the throws of autoimmune or in the middle of an autoimmune storm, you are probably wondering how in the hell can you ever participate in a [...]
Just a quick reminder this week that eating out and eating clean doesn’t have to be anxiety ridden, or crazy difficult. It requires a couple of things. 1. Know what you will and will not compromise on. Gluten free and Dairy free are essential for me when eating out. I know controlling the [...]

You might think by the title that going against the grain might have something to do with gluten or grains not allowed on the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol). Nope. That isn’t what I’m talking about. Today I’m making reference to the decision to choose the path less traveled. The [...]
I find so much of my inspiration from my clients or articles I have read but this time, I am using myself as an example. I used myself previously regarding cheating on my diet. Today I want to spend some time talking about the real struggle that I have. Self-care which is so important to the [...]
