What happens when a Certified Sports Nutritionist is diagnosed with Celiac Disease? An action plan like no other, designed in a format that can be read and applied the same day. This book is every Celiac's most needed friend. Firstly, a list of safe and unsafe ingredients in a slim, pocketbook format that makes it easy to have on hand while grocery shopping or carry anywhere. (note: not a grocery guide - as those can be outdated before even printed! manufacturers change ingredients very often. this guide provides actual ingredients you can check on labels which is the only way to eat safely) Also included: where to look for hidden dangers, food processing information, vitamin and supplement requirements, a small section addressing Celiac's relation to depression, and several ideas on how to make a smooth - even enjoyable - transition to living a gluten free life. How is all this packed into a small guide that fits in a purse? The author has a rare ability to zero in on the facts that matter and deliver them in a summarized, concise, very easy to read style. Probably the only book on the subject written in as close to point form as possible. The reader will not need to sort through hundreds of pages to find what they need. This guide is not meant to be an encyclopedia discussing Celiac; written in such a condensed way, every sentence on every page counts. An absolutely indispensable guide for every Celiac.
Jaqui Karr is not your typical nutrition expert. After visiting death's door with the sudden trigger of an autoimmune disorder, she quickly discovered the modern medicine did not have the answers. Today, Jaqui is a leading subject matter expert on autoimmune diseases who shares with people globally how to heal thyself.
Nicknamed "Iron Woman" among friends, several years ago Jaqui suddenly fell ill and inside of 6 months found herself on an I.V., 30lbs lighter, and often confined to bed in excruciating pain.
Frail, her arms bruised from IV's and blood tests, the hospital visits became more frequent. Doctors ran dozens of tests including c-scans, MRI's, ultrasound - still no answers. Jaqui's decline continued.
The medical system failed her as it fails millions of people every year.
Jaqui realized that she had to take control if she wanted to survive. She suspected it was a food allergy that was killing her and not the diseases the doctors were thinking while subjecting her to a plethora of futile tests.
Taking command of the situation, her suspicions were confirmed when she was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting millions of people worldwide.
With two decades of studying food as a sports nutritionist Jaqui put together a plan to restore her health. She began the process of cleansing her blood, healing damaged intestines, and strengthening her immune system. She was well again within months and back to her strong athletic lifestyle within the year, all done naturally.
Today Jaqui shares her knowledge with people on five continents through her seminars and books. She has helped thousands of people reach their optimal health whether they suffer from an autoimmune disorder or one of the myriad of other health issues that have reached pandemic levels due to poor diets and the world's contaminated food supply.
Jaqui's love of life and knowing that we can enjoy it fully only when experiencing terrific health, coupled with her whale-sized heart, make her one of the most powerful and inspirational speakers on the topic. In her words: "for anyone who is unwell with any dis-ease and doubts that they can completely heal and wake up feeling like a million dollars every day, they only need to look at me and know that it is absolutely possible".
