How We Navigate Supplements

Numerous practitioners have suggested the use of supplements at various times during our journey. While I know most families working on healing have a heavy emphasis on supplements, we’ve personally chosen to try and avoid them. Because this is so unconventional, I will admit that I’ve questioned this decision at times, but deep down, I firmly believe this was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. One reason why we’ve chosen to avoid supplements is because of our experience with them early on. About the time we started with diet changes, we also [...]

Histamine Intolerance (Eczema, Allergies & MCAD)

Histamine Intolerance (Eczema, Allergies & MCAD)

This information is here to help support you if you struggle with histamine intolerance or mast cell activation. Not everyone will necessarily need to implement these changes.

What were once small little dime-sized rough spots on his skin grew into an angry head-to-toe rash covering most of his body. Assuming it was something his skin was coming into contact with, I overhauled household items he was frequently exposed to – [...]

Oxalates

Oxalates

This information is here to help support you if you struggle with an oxalate intolerance. Not everyone will necessarily need to implement these changes. Oxalate (Oxalic Acid) is a molecule widely found in plants but can also be found in the human body- either as a result of dietary sources or endogenous production. Like glutamate, and when in excess, oxalates can be problematic and contribute to a long list of health issues. Some Foods/Herbs Highest in Oxalate Parsley Sorrel Lambs Quarters Spinach Rhubarb Beets Potatoes (including chips/french fries) Nuts (including nut butters & many grain-free flours) Okra [...]

Diet Implementation & Tips

Diet Implementation & Tips

The information shared within this blog has been gathered by a mother, not a physician, and should not act as any form of medical advice.

Because this diet can be so overwhelming, I would encourage you to bite off one task or goal at a time, with the intention of truly making it a lifestyle change. However, "wow" changes will likely be more easily noticed the quicker you make the changes and once you are strictly avoiding [...]
