For the past couple decades, we’ve been told that whole foods and whole grains are better for us than refined ones. They have more fiber, more protein, more vitamins, lower cholesterol, speed digestion, etc… Why is it, then, that the…

Meet Autumn
Welcome to Lectin Free Mama!
I am an early adopter of the Plant Paradox diet outlined in the book The Plant Paradox, by Dr. Steven Gundry. Through lectin and sugar avoidance, I have been able to reverse a condition called POTS–a dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system–which is thought to have an underlying autoimmune component. My goal is to provide one of the greatest online resources for anyone wanting to go “lectin-free.” Check out my weeknight meal planner, recipes, tips, and research articles into the science behind the lectin theory. My greatest hope for my readers is that they achieve similar success in reversing chronic health conditions.
