You can?t hide a lot of super-healthy foods...I don?t think I could disguise salmon in an ice cream and my nephew will never try ?KALE CHIPS? again! But flaxseeds have an agreeable flavor and texture for kids. Flaxseeds are great sources of omega-3s (proven to help with improved learning capacity as well as many other health benefits), they are also affordable and tasty. Try adding them to trail mix or making ?healthy candy? by mixing them with xylitol honey and toast them on low heat. Once your kids get used to the nutty flavor, you can work them into other not-so-sweet recipes like salads. They are also filled with fiber to help balance our blood sugar out when we eat excess carbohydrates and sugar.
Eczema is an auto-immune response. And there is more and more proof that food intolerance (as well as food allergy) effects the immune system. Eliminating common allergens such as gluten and dairy often clear up the skin. Adding freshly ground flax can clear the skin up even faster. Prostaglandins influence skin health and are the body?s chemical messengers. It is created from the essential fatty acids that we eat, such as flax, seafood and evening primrose oils. They are not stored in the body. This is why consuming essential fatty acids every day is so important! Please be aware that during the healing process your body eliminates toxins from the cells which had built up and eczema may reappear or get worse for a period of time. This process is known as a healing crisis.

Client Testimonial
I received this message from someone who follows my blog and read my Metabolism book. I love getting these messages! Way to go Julie!"I know that we are complete strangers, but I just feel it necessary to tell you thank you for what you do. In October of 2012 my mom's doc gave her a copy of Wheat Belly to read which she then gave to me. As an RN, it was difficult to believe "healthy whole grains" could be a problem, but there I was, 8 months post partum and 40 pounds overweight eating fruits and grains and everything I had learned I should be eating! I gave grain free two weeks and hoped it might give me results that starving myself and obsessing over points on another diet wasn't. Well, after feeling like crap for a week, I stayed motivated because I lost 6 pounds. The next week, 5pounds and then I started to feel really great. I found a reference to you on the Wheat Belly blog and now my family's lifestyle is forever changed. No more dieting!! Wow!! I have lost 33 pounds eating whatever I want the "healthified" way! I threw away the acne face wash I had been using for 10 years to combat my adult acne! My husband is back in the clothes he wore when we got married 7 years ago. My kids are grain free and always ask if there is wheat or sugar in any food they are offered because they know mom can make it healthier thanks to you! I feel like this is a miracle in my life to be free of food cravings and a past that left me struggling with an eating disorder. I know my three daughters will learn to really eat the right way now! I tell everyone I know about you and Dr. Davis and all your books. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

1 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 cup unsweetened vanilla HEMP milk (look for lowest in carbs and sugar)

2 to 4 TBS Swerve (or 1/4 tsp stevia glycerite)
