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:

I would love to check out the Make It Paleo. My son was recently diagnosed ADD. He is the top of his class and fluent in German at age 8. The DRs will only reccomend meds and the side effects are unacceptable to my husband and I - so we are looking for other options like whole foods and cutting out gluten and other processed food.

I would love to try the 30 day guide. It is something I have wanted to try but I have a daughter with numerous food allergies and surprisingly I have trouble making health recipes. She is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, carrots, cucumbers, all legumes and soy protein. So it is kind of hard. They are severe allergies also. But I have always wanted to check it out.
