The Journey Between Places And Exploring What Shows Up Along The Way

The Journey Between Places will awaken your intuition—the voice within that has so much to say. We are blessed to have access to formal education and the internet is an information highway. As we travel the path of more education and information, we are driven further into our heads and away from our hearts—the place that holds key knowledge.

Do you feel pressured to live a life that everyone tells you is worth living but doesn’t feel right to you?
Is your head telling you one thing and your heart, another?
Do you hear yourself constantly asking why?
Do you feel stuck and then criticize yourself for being stuck?

The Paleo Diabetes Diet Solution

 

I wrote this book to help you understand blood sugar and how what you eat really matters. I mean, really matters. One of the key themes of this book is that the food we eat is the single most important influence on our health. Food is so much more than the sum of its parts. It is the information we give our bodies that gets translated in to cellular instructions that control our health and our disease patterns.

The information in the first half of this book will help you understand how blood sugar works in the body and how the paleo approach to eating (or ancestral way of eating) can help you restore healthy blood sugar function and halt, if not reverse, the health consequences of blood sugar dysfunction and type 2 diabetes. You will also learn how to navigate eating away from home, how to read and understand food labels and how to stock your pantry with foods that will restore your health.
The second half of the book ties everything together with delicious paleo-inspired recipes that will leave you satisfied and finally in control of your blood sugar.
