Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the A4M Pediatric Symposium in Los Angeles. It was an amazing three days filled with insightful lessons from incredible practitioners. I was also fortunate to meet some wonderful new friends and can’t wait to stay connected—hopefully, we’ll reunite at next year’s event in Boston! A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Elsa Song for gathering such brilliant minds and for her warmth and generosity. If you haven’t yet, check out her book *Healthy Kids, Happy Kids*—it’s one of my absolute favorites!

May marks Celiac Awareness Month, or as my fellow Brits call it, Coeliac Awareness Month! Today, May 16th, is International Coeliac Awareness Day, so I wanted to shed some light on this condition that has impacted my family, friends, and clients.
 
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition affecting genetically predisposed individuals. When they consume gluten, their immune system attacks the villi in the small intestine, disrupting nutrient absorption and leading to malnourishment and other issues.
 
If you’re curious to learn more about Celiac disease—its symptoms, testing, gluten-free diet, advocacy, education, and treatment research—check out these resources:
-
- Gluten Intolerance Group
-
- (Celiac.org)
-
- UK

You can contribute towards and support research and treatment by visiting https://give.celiac.org/give/575541/ #!/donation/checkout

If you have questions or need support navigating a coeliac disease diagnosis or any other condition requiring lifestyle changes, feel free to DM me. I’m here to help! 🌟

I am so thankful that I made a big batch of Bieler’s Broth, and stashed some in the freezer.🙌🏻
I am bringing out all my tools in my toolbelt to get myself back on my feet after pesky 🦠!
The recipe is in an earlier post if you are interested. 😊🍵
I had Cauliflower thins (from trader Joe's) with avocado and chili source as a side. 😋

It was so great to get back to the farmers market last week. My daughter and I got very carried away and wished we had brought our wagon with us!!
The kids helped me cook this beautiful 🌈 dish of veggies. I find cooking with them the best way to teach them about all the amazing things plants can do for our bodies. The roasted beets were their favorite!❤️😋

I am always excited to find new gluten free, Celiac safe snacks for the kids and for my handbag. I found these Good & Gather Organic bars (certified gluten free) and Pretzels in Target.
They have arrived just in time to restock the school Emergancy kit for the classroom. I am always rotating the content so we don’t waste anything. Let’s face it, gluten free food is wildly more expensive! Thankfully more stores are jumping on the GF fun train and making being Celiac or gluten sensitive a little easier. 20 years ago it looked a lot different!

I love challenging myself to see how many colors I can get into a dish! I try to be even more intentional with my food choices post holidays or travel, to boost my gut health and immune system!

Last nights dinner - onion, garlic, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, roasted eggplant, red pepper, paprika & olive oil (all organic), with some gluten free chickpea Banza pasta. YUM!

Happy New Year 🌅
