The path to physical and spiritual renewal can be found through a thoughtful exploration of a simpler, more fulfilling lifestyle that embraces our minds, bodies, souls and spirits.
The decision to “Go Paleo” is one I made out of necessity. After struggling with persistent health problems for several years, and having tried a variety of medicinal, herbal, dietary, exercise, and other lifestyle changes without much success, I was discouraged. While surfing the internet looking for answers I finally took notice of the word that had, of late, been popping up on my screen: Paleo. That word has changed my life.
At first, it was the diet. I cut out gluten entirely, eliminated all other grains, legumes, sugars and dairy. It was easier than anticipated and the results were almost immediate. My energy level increased dramatically and my sleep-patterns started to improve. But most importantly I just felt better. There was definitely something to this paleo-thing.
When I realized that “Paleo” could mean much more than just diet and exercise, I was hooked. I embrace the ideal of pursuing health and fulfillment through simple, time-tested strategies and apply them to my life as a woman, a wife, a mother, and a Christian. And that’s what this website is all about.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you enjoy the journey.

P.S. If you would like to know a little more about me you can check out this post: A “Paleo Spirit”: My Personal Health Journey.
I have just come across this website and I find it very interesting. I am a Christian Lay Minister and have struggled as my husband has become very caught up in yoga and meditation. I understand that it has helped him and I think that your website has shown me I dont need to be so threatened, that they are not mutually exclusive. Thank you
Look forward to trying the pizza crust!

I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying your BEAUTIFUL cookbook! I have never bought tapioca flour or almond flour but it’s on my list now!! I can’t wait to make your amazing recipes!
In your recipes are the oven temperatures for fan ovens?
I’m not sure what you mean by “fan oven”. The temperatures are for standard ovens. I do own a convection oven which uses a fan but since not everyone has that I stick with instructions for standard ovens. I also typically only use my convection oven for meat and vegetable dishes and not pastries/desserts. But if I were to use a convection oven I would state that in the recipe.
I tried your pizza crust and turned out great.
Excellent. Thanks for letting me know.
I really enjoyed you spaghetti bolognese. Cheers Mbe
