Sorry I'm a bit later than usual in writing my blog!
As happens in life sometimes, I've had a really busy couple of months. Between teaching days and evenings, and giving workshops and presentations on the weekends, there was just no time left to write. The little time I had left was spent with my family.
When things get that busy, having simple recipes is really important. My kids like sweet treats (who doesn't!), so Panna Cotta fit my criteria for REALLY SIMPLE.
MYTH #1 - I SHOULD EAT A LOT OF FIBRE!
There is a lot of truth to this statement, but not everyone should be eating a lot of fibre. The benefits of fibre are well documented and include pooping regularly, feeding your gut microbiome, and helping to clear debris and toxins out of your digestive tract. But fibre can be very irritating to a damaged gut, especially insoluble fibre like that found in bran, whole grains, flax seed and legumes. Find out if you should be eating more or less fibre.
What’s your favorite candy? Gummy bears were a big part of my childhood. I liked the yellow and orange ones the best. Did you know it’s easy to make your own gummies?

Have you ever had a run of bad luck? Maybe your furnace broke down on a freezing cold day, you were rear-ended while stopped at an intersection, a hidden leak developed in a shower that caused significant water damage to your home…? That was the month of November for me. But more was to come.
Ever receive a diagnosis that didn’t make sense? My run of bad luck culminated with a diagnosis of IBS in December. I couldn’t wrap my brain around the diagnosis, or the symptoms I was experiencing. How could I get IBS when I had been eating a gut-healthy diet for over 3 years?
Ever done a juice cleanse? Or maybe thought about it? Holiday season is already here! Maybe after indulging in too much holiday merriment your gut could use a bit of a rest, and your body a bit of cleansing. I’m going to give you the scoop on Calgary’s best Juice Cleanses, and help you decide which one is the right choice for you.
It’s hard to believe I’ve been on a gut-healthy diet for 3 years now. Starting the journey was a difficult decision to make. I think most of you can probably relate, when I say that the difficulty is not in eating a gut-healthy diet, but the hardest part is just starting. Change can sometimes feel overwhelming.
