The scientific research these days relating to the importance of gut health is overwhelming. Right now I’m working on a “big gut health related project” and as I compile the scientific evidence relating the gut to all other areas of health, it’s truly exhausting.

I had the distinct honor to receive the new book, Grain Free Baking, by my friend Kelly Smith from The Nourishing Home blog.
