I published my book on Remy's 6th birthday! My book begins with the story of my sweet boy's near-death experience as an infant and how we stumbled upon his fructose intolerance. Here is the synopsis and link. I am hoping it will bring greater awareness of metabolic disease and autoimmune disorders:
We have always been told to eat our fruits and vegetables, but what if fruits and vegetables could kill you? We have always been told to choose whole grains over refined, but what if whole grains could give you a debilitating disease? You Are What You DON'T Eat flips our paradigm and proves that it is often what we DON'T put in our bodies that can heal us. Inherited metabolic disorders affect up to 1 in 1,000 newborns. According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 23.5 million Americans (nearly eight percent of the population) suffer from an autoimmune disease, and the prevalence is rising. I am an educator, a mother of two and a passionate agent of change. You Are What You DON'T Eat will take you on a journey of medical jigsaw puzzles that ends with your own story (the final chapter is, in fact, titled “Your Story”). You Are What You DON'T Eat is a conversation, an education and a salvation that will help you manage (or even discover) your chronic illnesses, thus improving your individual quality of life and simultaneously reducing our collective burden on a medical system that is too reactive and has ignored the preventative power of diet on one’s health.
