Behold, the yellow peach. The juicy, not-too-sweet, not-too-tart pit fruit that you can play tennis with when it’s not ripe and get a half gallon of juice down your chin when it is ripe. If you’re not fortunate enough to…

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.
