Poor gut health can have a profound impact on our overall well-being, and this was something that Lauran Brannigan experienced first-hand. But through her journey of trial and error, she discovered the power of gut healing foods. This article explores how Lauran regained her health and how you can do the same.
Regaining Health Through Gut Healing Foods
Lauran’s paleo journey began like many others: with a health crisis. The crisis was candida, an opportunistic yeast that had taken over her gut. Lauran needed to get rid of this unwanted guest to reclaim her health. So for three long months, she implemented an elimination diet, cutting out nearly every food she was accustomed to eating. Gradually, her symptoms improved, and she reintroduced many of her favorite snacks.
But certain foods – refined sugar, grains, and dairy – never returned to Lauran’s diet. These foods, she realized, harmed her body. They caused inflammation, disrupted her gut microbiome, and sapped her energy. And so Lauran gave these foods the permanent boot. But even though she had sworn off sugar, Lauran still loved to bake. Unfortunately, most recipes call for sugar. That’s just how dessert gets made.
The Birth Of Glitter And Gut Health
Lauran had an idea. Why not make sugar-free desserts, then publish the recipes online? Presto: Glitter and Gut Health was born. Glitter and Gut Health is Lauran’s page devoted to sugar-free, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly recipes. According to her, one of her favorite recipes is a sugar-free strawberry jam parfait cereal. Why cereal?
“I have an obsession with everything breakfast!” she exclaims.
Lauran also has an obsession with gut health. In fact, cutting out sugar – which causes intestinal inflammation – is her secret to feeling great.
“[My diet],” she says, “enables me to have the energy, mental clarity, and confidence to achieve my bigger dreams!”
This story has a happy ending. Going paleo helped Lauran regain her health, and now she’s helping others do the same.
