Two of my favorite homemade desserts are my pumpkin spice custard and paleo custard. But my favorite way to enjoy them is to have a combination of both. So, if I make one, I usually end up making the other.

After doing this a couple of times, I decided that maybe I could combine these 2 recipes into one. So, that’s what I did, and it turned out really well! Plus, it saved...

Do you feel like you live a very healthy lifestyle, but you just don’t feel great? Maybe you have a chronic condition like IBS or you just feel fatigued and lacking the energy you used to have.

I completely understand how you feel because I’ve been there, and I’ve been dealing with this issue recently.

I spent this past weekend in Austin at a conference called Paleo F(x). This...

In part 1 and part 2 of this article, we discussed the different types of fat, their benefits, and ideal food sources. We broke down the differences between saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and trans fats.

Fats are a main energy source for the body. Consuming quality fats daily is essential for numerous body functions, such as brain function,...

Fats are essential for a healthy body and healthy brain. They are a main energy source for the body. Consuming quality fats daily is critical for brain function, healthy skin and hair, immune function, healthy digestion, body temperature regulation, and aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

In part 1 of this article, we focused on saturated fats as one ideal fat...

Fat is such a controversial topic. Is it good or bad to eat fat? Is a low-fat diet or high-fat diet better? Does fat make you fat?

While much of mainstream media will have you believe that fat is bad, I’m going to suggest a different view that’s backed by much research. America has been in this low-fat diet craze for several decades now, and not surprisingly, the obesity rate and...

The use of antacids, such as Prilosec, Nexium, and Tums is widespread. Half of American adults have used antacids, and they are the 3rd most common over-the-counter medication. Most people take these drugs to relieve the symptoms of heartburn, reflux, GERD, and indigestion. However, while these medications may reduce the symptoms, they are not treating the cause. In fact, they are worsening the...

Every now and then, I get in the mood for something sweet. Don’t we all? As a Digestive Health Coach and one who follows a Paleo Diet, I’m not going to get my sweet fix from processed, gluten-filled cakes, pies, or cookies.

However, that doesn’t mean I have to deprive myself. Instead, I make my own healthy desserts with real ingredients. In my opinion, they taste just as good,...

Digestive issues are all too common today especially Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). One billion people worldwide have IBS, which isn’t even a legit diagnosis. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that other digestive conditions, such as Colitis, Crohn’s, and Celiac have been ruled out, and doctors don’t know what the problem is. They just know that you have certain...

The Paleo Diet has gained a lot of traction over the past few years, and with that, comes critics. In this article, I’m going to address one objection you might here about the paleo diet.

A common objection to the Paleo diet is that it is not nutritionally complete. This is due to the fact that paleo excludes all grains, legumes, and most dairy. It also eliminates all processed and...

Tis the season for all things pumpkin! I love the flavor of pumpkin in foods and beverages. Growing up, my favorite dish at Thanksgiving was the pumpkin pie. Sadly, most pumpkin pies contain ingredients that aren’t suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, or paleo diets.

After avoiding the dessert table the past couple of Thanksgivings, I decided to make my own pumpkin dessert. This is very...
