Actually, the health of your adrenals has everything to do with the health of your gut. The link is quite significant.

Over the years, I have been committed to learning everything I can about SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) because I’ve had it, and many of my clients have it. In fact, according to Dr. Pimentel, one of the leading SIBO experts, 84% of IBS cases are actually SIBO. Therefore, if you have IBS, there is a high likelihood that it’s actually SIBO.

I listened to a webinar by...

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...

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.
