The biggest struggle that I hear from others when they’re switching their diet is that eating real food is so boring or they’re spending far too much time in the kitchen.

That’s exactly why I created Get Sauced, these sauces will make eating healthy delicious and new every time! This eBook will revolutionize the way you eat, as it makes it super easy to get healthy fats and much needed nutrition.

Often, when you’re following a real foods diet, you can find yourself eating similar meals much of the time. I know this is the case for me, as I don’t have time to cook every single night, so quick meals are what get me through! These sauces will make even the most plain protein and veggies incredibly delicious!

Just like all of my recipes found on my website, these sauces are so easy to make! I’ve taken the extra steps to be sure that you can create these sauces even if you have the most basic kitchen skills and equipment.

Get Sauced is 86 pages, filled with 33 easy and insanely delicious recipes (38 recipes including the variations!)

I made it my goal to create sauces that anyone could eat, despite food intolerances that go beyond paleo. This is exactly why just by simply taking a glance at the top of each recipe, you’ll know right away if they’ll work for you!

While it’s probably not the most popular subject of conversation, it is important and I’ve had several questions this week about problems related to lower digestion and bowel function.  The primary function of our intestinal system is to absorb the nutrients that our cells require for energy and cell division and to eliminate waste and toxins that would be harmful to those same cells.  Surprisingly, the lining of the inside or our digestive system is similar to the lining or the outside of our body – the skin.  Just like our skin, problems arise in the bowel when this lining gets toxic, inflamed or damaged as a result of our lifestyle choices.

Rule number one when it comes to maintaining the bowel is water.  The primary function of our colon is the reabsorption of water and when we are not taking in enough pure, clean water we are asking for problems, most specifically constipation.  Rule number two is fiber.  Fiber acts as a scrub-brush for the intestines keeping them cleaned out, but also stimulating the muscular contractions so that bowel material moves along at a healthy pace.  Fiber also serves a lesser-known function and that is as a pre-biotic.  A pre-biotic is the food source for the pro-biotic bacteria that set up residence in our colon.  You can always take a fiber supplement, but the preferred source of fiber is from natural, raw fruits and vegetables – the crunchier the better!  Rule number three are these pro-biotics.  These “good” bugs help break down waste and also serve an immune function by helping to fight off any “bad” bugs we may have ingested.  It is recommended that you supplement these by taking something like acidophilus, but the preferred source again is from organic fruits/vegetables that were grown in healthy soil without unnatural pesticides.

Chronic stress, alcohol, sugars, antibiotics and other junk foods and medications are toxic to the bowel and can cause undigested food material and “gunk” to clog up the pores of the intestinal lining.  Over time, this process can lead to chronic inflammation and yeast production that can infiltrate the entire body.  Because this is the world we live in, doing an occasional colon cleanse is also a good idea at least once per year.  Most importantly, listen to your body and when the bowel becomes irregular or abnormal in any way, take action and make changes to get it back on track or go get it checked out.
