Meet Autumn
Welcome to Lectin Free Mama!
I am a follower of the Plant Paradox diet outlined in the book The Plant Paradox, by Dr. Steven Gundry. I suffer from POTS and MCAS and have achieved massive improvement through avoidance of sugar and certain dietary lectins. (Read my articles to learn more about lectins.) My goal is to provide one of the best online resources for anyone who has to take charge and be an advocate for her own health. Check out my Plant Paradox meal planner, recipes, tips, and research articles. My greatest hope for my readers is that they achieve similar success in managing and reversing chronic health conditions.
