    Eating disorders were totally glossed over in medical school, and that’s because they are notoriously hard to treat, so there were not a lot of solutions presented to us.  In fact, still to date there are no effective biological treatments for Anorexia Nervosa. But a new study offers hope, and not only that, but it is a simple, holistic, all natural way to address eating disorders without expensive medications, therapies or treatment programs.  Just a dietary modification that has the ability to successfully treat Anorexia Nervosa so well that it puts patients into multi-year long remissions without relapse.

    Did you know that gluten is a neuro-irritant — meaning it causes inflammation in the brain and has been linked to cognitive decline, even directly to dementia?  I wrote this article for you back in 2014 to help explain how dementia could be considered a gluten-induced condition. More recent evidence suggests that not only does the brain inflammation that gluten causes affect your brain, it might also be affecting your mental health, including causing or worsening mood disorders like depression and anxiety. As someone who has struggled with anxiety her entire life, I am very interested to read
