Carrot Ginger Halibut Soup (Paleo, AIP, GAPS, Wahls, Whole30)

Seafood is one of one most nutrient-dense foods available, filled with omega-3 fatty acids, easily digestible protein, vitamin D, B12 and more. This is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it. This is an easy enough recipe to make on a weeknight, but flavorful enough to serve company. Feel free to substitute scallops or any white fish if you don’t have halibut. Enjoy!

Roasted Beets and Carrots with Grapefruit Glaze (Paleo, AIP, GAPS, Wahls)

There’s a reason Terry Wahls recommends that we eat three cups of brightly colored fruits and vegetables daily. Every color represents a different blend of micronutrients that our bodies need to thrive. This recipe is a nutritional powerhouse, covering the green, red/purple, and orange parts of the spectrum. An added bonus is that it’s both beautiful and delicious. Even though I’m on a restricted diet, I still love food, and recipes like this have an abundance of flavor that feeds my soul as well as my body.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Cranberries and Rosemary (Paleo, AIP, GAPS, Wahls, Whole30)

Like many of you, I have an old stew recipe I used to love, full of ingredients I no longer eat. Luckily, I enjoy developing new versions of old favorites, so I made this AIP-friendly version! I started with onions, garlic and rosemary for flavor. I kept the traditional carrots, but added celery root and radishes as potato substitutes. I threw in some cranberries to replace the tang of tomatoes. Finally, I added bone broth for nutrient-density, and blended it with some of the cooked veggies before serving to thicken the broth without flour. This stew puts my old stew recipe to shame. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Christie’s Healing Story (Psoriasis & Chronic Fatigue)

I have another inspiring success story to share. This time it’s Christie, who not only is healing her psoriasis through the paleo autoimmune protocol, but also eliminated depression, panic attacks, migraines, chronic fatigue, and more. But this isn’t a story about perfection. It’s about persistence, and the honest sharing of a journey that includes setbacks alongside successes.
