Chances are you’ve heard of the Paleo lifestyle/diet. It is no secret that it’s a growing trend, which many around us are embracing. The Paleo lifestyle means eating real food with an emphasis on humanely raised meat, organic vegetables, and good quality fats like organic coconut oil, fats from pasture-raised animals, and grass-fed butter/ghee. That means no grains! And in some cases, depending on which Paleo eater you are talking to, no dairy. The other focus of the Paleo diet is to incorporate organ meats and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha (the latter are for the benefits of probiotics).
I’ve personally heard of many people who’ve been able to put their autoimmune disorders in remission after switching to a Paleo diet. The belief is that disease can start in the gut, so when you remove gut irritating foods like grains, legumes, and dairy, as well as soy and sugar, you can heal your gut and heal your body. I’ve always said if you feel better without eating gluten or grains or dairy (or another food group)…then by all means avoid it!
So today I am excited to introduce some great resources for those interested in trying out a Paleo lifestyle…three books from the bestselling authors and creators of The Food Lovers Kitchen, Bill Staley and Hayley Mason:

Make It Paleo to switch other family favorites over. I was recently diagnosed Celiac's Disease so Paleo is the perfect diet for me and my family to accommodate my needs.

I would love the 30 day guide to Paleo Cooking. My son has horrible eczema flareups and my wife has an immune condition where her joints swell quite a bit. We are moving towards a paleo diet, but with three kids and two full time jobs, we don't know where to start. This would be incredible..

I would really enjoy the Gather cookbook. We have recently completed a whole30 and are really trying to stick with it. We are enjoying the Paleo diet and feeling well. We like to minister out of our home and often have anywhere from 1 or 2 to 10 people over. Learning about recipes that work well for larger groups of people would be great!
