They’re great to have on hand for a quick snack and to keep those blood sugars and energy levels sustained.

Coconut Turmeric Porridge
When I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, I delved deep into research. Why, when it felt like I was doing all the right things, was my body behaving contradictory? I’d been eating a clean, whole food plant based diet for the better part of 7 years – why now was everything out of balance? Autoimmune conditions are tricky, to put things lightly. Just when I thought I’d gotten a grasp on managing and living with Type 1 Diabetes, this whole new chapter in my life opened it’s pages for me. After much contemplation, and not feeling particularly in the mood for blogging, or sharing for that matter, I’m slowly feeling more…

How I’ve Stayed Refined Sugar Free for 6 Years
This year will mark the 6th year of being refined sugar free. After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes I radically changed my diet and lifestyle, and eliminated refined sugar, highly processed foods, along with gluten, dairy and animal products (in the last couple of years). I went cold turkey initially, and I can say that this option is probably not the best for most, but it worked for me at the time.
