Take a hard look at all the health benefits of Quinoa and Quinoa flour.

In addition, due to its high insoluble fiber and protein content, quinoa can increase that "full" feeling known as satiety. It is also believed that quinoa influences the action of hormones that play a role in appetite, such as gherkin, peptide YY and insulin.

My intent is presenting these series of grain alternatives is to encourage you to try them, once you do and feel the health benefits, there's no going back to gluten and all its side-effects.

11.8.19 Health Benefits of Quinoa, Cooking Tips and Recipes 1 of 4 in a Series

In a quest to find the world’s healthiest anti-inflammatory foods, it would be nearly impossible to miss out on one of the best complete protein foods available on the planet: QUINOA – (pronounced KEEN-wah). This seed is a 7,000-year-old plant that originated in the mountainous regions of South America. While it is commonly known as an “ancient grain,” quinoa is technically NOT a grain or cereal grain, but a seed, and does not contain gluten — just one of the many benefits of quinoa nutrition.

Issue 9.13.19 Health Benefits of Coconut Flour - 3 of 3

This part of the series is especially close to my heart and health because after years of maintaining a healthy blood sugar through diet, and natural supplements when necessary. I became a trauma-induced diabetic after a life-threatening MRSA infection I was exposed to in the surgery room of a plastic surgeon while having some very small (size of a lentil) moles removed on my forearm. Elevated blood sugar is nothing to take lightly; it changes your life forever!

That above episode is one reason I was prompted into creating healthy recipes that DO NOT include food or ingredients that “ignite” inflammation, elevate blood sugar-blood pressure-cholesterol, sabotage thyroid health, feed health-destroying yeast, and rob us of our quality of life.

Continuing my series on the benefits of this super healthy food, it’s important to understand that we’re not simply touting its health-enhancing benefits to replace conventional flours (wheat, corn and flours containing high carbohydrate content and gluten), but also because of its inherent nutrients, listed below: 

What Health Nutrients/Benefits are in Coconut Flour?

Issue 8.2.19 BioHacking - What is it...AND...Why is it Important?

BioHacking, a new scientific term, is the next frontier in healthcare – it’s all about getting to intimately know your body, and its “body talk” and take responsibility for its health – not blindly giving over its maintenance and wellness to someone else.

What I’m referring to is your intestinal microbiome—the powerful, bacterial world we can’t see—and it deeply impacts your overall health, including inflammatory disorders.

According to Sarah Gupta, MD, the senior medical liaison for uBiome, at a recent panel on biohacking the microbiome hosted by Parsley Health in San Francisco, “There have been many studies within the last three to five years linking changes in your intestinal microbiome with all kinds of disorders, some of which would have gotten you laughed out of a medical conference 20 years ago. For example, the connection between the intestinal microbiome, Parkinson’s disease, ADD/ADHD, etc.” The discussions took a deep dive into why understanding our microbiomes is so vital, and what’s coming next in research, I’ve summarized some of the discussions below.
