Back to School Autoimmune Eating Made Easy

By Leave a Comment

I get patients in my practice who are frustrated with the limitations their autoimmune disease and leaky gut has placed on their dietary choices. I always feel nothing but compassion for these frustrated patients of mine. Navigating the dietary changes necessary to reverse inflammation, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, chronic pain, and autoimmune disease can feel very overwhelming. I know I was completely frustrated and overwhelmed when I was first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. [Read more…] about Back to School Autoimmune Eating Made Easy

Those of you who follow me and know me know that I LOVE fall. I love root vegetables, fall spices, and the crisp feeling in the air. As soon as the temperature outside changes I start roasting butternut squash and making it into all things delicious. One of my favorite foods during the autumn and winter is soup. When you are working on reversing inflammation, hormone imbalances, leaky gut, chronic pain and autoimmune disease there are certain foods that pack a big punch in getting your immune system to calm down. Two of those foods are in this delicious soup: turmeric and ginger. Using both in one soup is a win-win! [Read more…] about Autoimmune Disease Reversal Made Delicious

Superfoods to Reverse Autoimmune Disease

Superfoods to Reverse Autoimmune Disease

First let me start with the bad news. There is no diet that will reverse your autoimmune disease or cancer or rid you of inflammation. That is, there is no one-size- fits all diet. The good news is there are some guidelines you can start with until you get more in-depth functional medicine testing done to see who is living in your gut (microbiome), how your adrenals and hormones are doing, what foods your immune system is reacting to and what your genetic pre-disposition to autoimmune disease and cancer is.

Reverse Autoimmune Disease with the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda

Reverse Autoimmune Disease with the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda

By Leave a Comment

When I was 30 years old I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I was able to reverse this  painful  autoimmune disease within 6 months of diagnosis because I discovered Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurveda is the 10,000-year- old sister science of yoga. It is literally translated from Sanskrit as “science of life.” One of the teachings of Ayurveda that got me on my road from inflamed to vital was the knowledge that we are not all the same person. In fact, the different body types, or doshas, require different diets, sleep patterns, exercise regimens and they process their emotions differently. Ayurveda says autoimmune disease is undigested anger. I also learned that my dosha type was prone to holding onto weight, toxins, and emotional hurt. It was also prone to inflammation. I am a pitta-kapha dosha. So I set out to learn how to feed myself, detox myself, heal my past trauma, and became a yoga and meditation teacher.

Eat Treats and Still Reverse Autoimmune Disease

Eat Treats and Still Reverse Autoimmune Disease

When I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 22 years ago I was a complete and total full-blown sugar addict. I don’t say this lightly. I mean it. I was addicted to sugar the way an alcoholic is addicted to alcohol. In order to reverse my autoimmune disease (which I did within 6 months of diagnosis and it’s been gone ever since), I had to quit sugar. The break up was tough. In fact I write about this in my #1 best-selling book, Solving the Autoimmune Puzzle. I talk about what I now call the “detox-retox rollercoaster.” It took several detox-retox cycles before I finally knew that sugar was like rat poison. I knew I would never eat rat poison, so I was able to stop eating sugar. One of the ways I was able to stop so completely is by replacing the rat poison version of sugar and sugar substitutes with some alternatives that still gave me the sweet taste every once in a while.

Reduce Inflammation While Enjoying Birthdays and Holidays

Reduce Inflammation While Enjoying Birthdays and Holidays

I get patients in my practice who are frustrated with the limitations their autoimmune disease and leaky gut has placed on their dietary choices. I always feel nothing but compassion for these frustrated patients of mine. Navigating the dietary changes necessary to reverse inflammation, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, chronic pain, and autoimmune disease can feel very overwhelming, especially when you are told to give up sugar completely. My patients always tell me how hard eliminating gluten, alcohol, caffeine, dairy and sugar are. It is hard. But it’s easier now than it has ever been. They also treat me like their mother confessor or food police. They will make an appointment around birthdays or holidays and tell me how “bad” they were. Usually that confession is followed by how crappy they feel and the desire to get back on track. [Read more…] about Reduce Inflammation While Enjoying Birthdays and Holidays
