How Do I Know That A Grain Free Life Is A Healthy Life?

I had horrible digestive issues for the first 30 years of my life. Yes, 30 years! It wasn’t until I was introduced to the world of alternative medicine, that I was able to get my life and my health back under control. I used to have to know where every bathroom was at all times. I was on a ton of medication. I had zero energy and I didn’t sleep. Ugh… wow, do I sound like a big mess…

Well, I was. But all of that led me to where I am now. And I am forever grateful for where I am now!

One of the biggest things that helped me was going grain free. I cannot stress enough how much this helped my digestive issues. My health improved so much. Then, I started removing other offenders from my diet and I added in superfoods, etc.

I want to help you feel as good as I do. I remember so clearly what my life was like before I had this information.

My passion is helping you heal yourself with food and herbs. It’s truly my calling. When I was studying for my Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine, I knew that all of these amazing tenets of Eastern Medicine could be applied to food and used as everyday healing agents for so many people. I knew that if I combined what I was learning about the properties of food, herbs, supplements with what I already knew from my chef’s training, it would be life-changing.

And it is. My training in both Eastern and Western medicine, combined with my obsession with food and cooking, has given me a unique skillset that has helped so many people. And I want to help you. Nothing aggravates me more than knowing that these tools exist but that so many of you have not been taught them.

Everyone should know how to heal themselves with food, supplements, and herbs. This should not be a secret.

If you eat the right foods and take the right supplements for your unique body and circumstances, you can heal yourself. All you need is the correct information. And I’m here to give it to you.

Here Are 5 Grain Free Flours You Will Love

1. Tapioca/Cassava Flour

Tapioca is a starch that comes from the cassava plant. It’s not really a flour in the traditional sense; it’s grain and gluten free. It’s good for your circulation and your digestion. Oftentimes I will make recipes with tapioca flour — it seems to crisp things up well and it works as a great thickener too.

I use tapioca flour in desserts.

I use it as a coating for chicken fingers and fish fillets, and eggplant.

It’s a great thickener for sauces and stews too.

2. Almond Flour

In Chinese medicine, nuts are known to be good for your brain, heart, skin and reproductive system. Almonds are particularly nutritious. They are a good source of protein and they give you energy. And, they are gluten free and make the best grain free flour! Almonds will help relieve a cough and asthma and are also good for constipation.

I use almond flour in desserts.

I use it to make eggplant parmesan — and it’s awesome…

It’s even included in my favorite slow cooker enchiladas recipe.

3. Buckwheat Flour

Buckwheat is great to eat if you have diarrhea. It also helps lower blood pressure, stops some types of sweating, and has a good amount of vitamin E. It also contains antioxidants that can help fight cancer and heart disease. Buckwheat is a seed, not a grain, so no inflammation here!

And, what’s better than buckwheat pancakes for breakfast?

4. Coconut Flour

Coconut strengthens the body, reduces swelling, and stops bleeding. It kills viruses, bacteria, and parasites. It’s good for all types of infections and viruses in the body, including the flu, bronchitis, tapeworms, urinary tract infections, and herpes.

I use coconut flour for desserts, like this deliciously light and sweet Paleo Lemon Cake.

5. Chickpea/Garbanzo Flour

Chickpeas actually help calm the spirit. They relieve anxiety and soothe irritability… it kind of makes you realize why hummus is so popular…

I use Garbanzo flour to coat fish and chicken and vegetables. I also love chickpea crumbs. These grain free crumbs replace regular breadcrumbs deliciously in so many recipes.

Try these Green Bean Fries… yum!

And, if you haven’t tried chickpea pasta yet, you MUST!
