Meet Autumn
Welcome to Lectin Free Mama!
Hi there! My name is Autumn–I’m a wife, mother, and classical singer who suffered for years from mold toxicity and POTS. Dr. Steven Gundry’s Plant Paradox lifestyle has been an integral part of my family’s healing journey, and I hope to share here what I’ve learned along the way. My goal with this site is to provide knowledge, resources, and healthy recipes to individuals and families recovering from inflammatory illnesses. Also, I want to give hope to the chronically ill that your story isn’t over yet–there are always more changes to pursue and more therapies to try. Never, ever give up scaling the cliff face–even when the top is not in sight. Check out my lectin-free meal planner (newsletter), recipes, tips, and research articles. Send me an email with any questions you have!
