I Can’t Believe It’s Been 5 Years!
Time flies, doesn’t it? Yet at the same time, when I look back, my pre-paleo life seems centuries ago. So much has changed within these past 5 years, in ways I could never have predicted. I thought it would be fun to film a short video listing 5 things I learned on my journey so far:

I live in the U.S. I’ve been on a healing diet for, I suppose, about five years. I can remember, when I first started out, crying in the grocery store, in front of God and everyone, because I began to realize the changes I would have to make. A few long years later, and I’m in the acceptance phase, and I’m even learning that going out to eat can still be a treat, even without cheating and dessert. (…I’m a slow learner.) Congratulations on five years!

A little easier for gluten, but not the information available today. So easy to find answers by just searching online now. I think your website was the first one I found that talked about nightshades and the pain they cause. Was so so grateful to have found it!! Thank you for all you do!!

I’ll email you directly, if you’re the winner.

Victoria BC ( I married a Canadian 😉 but born and raised in Ohio. I have been Gluten Free for 8 years. No Dr. was able to figure out why I was sick most of my life, but I tried this on my own. For several years I followed AIP, but I am happy to report I can eat many things now ( just never gluten ) . Interestingly. I had no trouble with breads and cheeses when I was in France.
U.S.A. I began a healing diet over 4 years ago to try and heal my endometriosis. ( had already had 2 surgeries by age 25 and was trying to avoid a hysterectomy. Since then I have discovered I have

USA- 5 months on AIP diet
I live in the USA. I’ve been on my healing diet for 4 years this fall. Paleo a few months, then Whole 30 for a year, & then onto AIP. Now, I’m modified AIP, because I’m yeast sensitive, so that leaves out fermented food & drink, vinegar, mushrooms . I’m getting ready for reintro’s now that my HS is in remission (most of the time). I knew from the start of Paleo I needed to be AIP, but I couldn’t fathom giving up my beloved tomatoes I went the slow route with lots of food mourning.
Congratulations on your 5 years! Thank you for being a Gide to me to navigate this mine field.

I live in Michigan in the USA. I started this diet last August after having surgery and still not recovering. I lost 15lbs in 3 week and got my energy back and fell in love with the food because I have always loved vegetables and had no idea how creative they can be. I then got an injury and that took 3 months for another surgery and have been able to walk normally now for 3 days and I cannot wait to drive again so I can go back to the best food I have eaten in a long time. I grew up eating good food and we always had a garden and there were no gmo’s or chemicals in food then until the 70’s and I dream every day to be able to shop again. Some things I can still do like the smoothies because I do not have to stand long. The Paleo Autoimmune saved my life and it will again for I will stand strong again.
