Genuine Health introduces fermented Greek yogurt proteins+

This past spring, to my delight, Genuine Health added a natural protein supplement to their product line-up. In the sea of supplements on the market, it is so refreshing to discover a product that not only contains ingredients that help with digestive health, but is delicious, too. Genuine Health’s new fermented Greek yogurt proteins+ improves the health of the digestive system for maximum absorption. An unhealthy digestive system does not absorb all the protein consumed by an individual. Genuine Health has successfully formulated a supplement that not only delivers the required amount of protein (25 grams of fully fermented protein), but also increases absorption. The building...

Gluten-Free Dinners in Less Than 30-minutes: The Science of Sauteing

Gluten Free Dinners in Less Than 30 I have been teaching gluten-free cooking and baking classes for many years and once a new student gets the basic gluten-free substitutions down the next request I get is usually about learning how to prepare healthy delicious gluten-free dinners in 30 minutes or less.

Dear Gluten-Free Fans, what are you craving? Sometimes I just want a pizza and beer! TGIF! And good news, now we can have our pie and eat it too!

Gluten-Free Living: Eating Healthy on a Budget

Has your grocery bill skyrocketed since beginning a gluten-free diet? If you’re living with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity, removing gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye and barley) is an essential first step on your path to wellness. If your goal is to eat a healthy gluten-free diet then these tips are for you! In my experience, the most expensive part of eating gluten-free is the cost of pre-packaged foods which are specifically marketed as gluten-free: cereal, waffles, snacks, desserts, baking mixes, pizza crusts etc. These foods are high in cost and low in nutrients therefore the return on the...

Is Gluten Free a Hot New Trend or Here to Stay?

I’ve worked with thousands of people over my decade or so in the health industry and I don’t think I’ve ever stopped being amazed at the dramatic effect going gluten free can have on someone’s waistline and overall health. Even if you aren’t gluten sensitive, allergic, intolerant, a celiac or even believe in all the gluten hype almost everyone can benefit from going gluten free or low gluten. Why? Well my reasoning might be different than what you are used to hearing… Recently I was involved in a conversation with a couple of trainers who were talking about gluten. Their take on...

How To Be Gluten-Free Without Being Socially Awkward

There has been a tremendous increase in availability, variety and quality of gluten-free products in recent years. However, there are still many facets of gluten-free living that create a ton of awkward social moments. Let’s start with the dinner party. Being a guest in someone’s home, who you know put a ton of effort into...
