With an increasing number of people implementing a gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, and even a dairy-free approach to life, it has become apparent there is a massive amount of value in taking control of your diet and understanding your food – as a prescription. If you or a loved one suffer from allergies, skin irritations, or auto-immune issues like psoriasis, celiac disease, IBS, Hashimoto’s, ulcerative colitis or arthritis, or if you simply want to live an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, this handbook is for you!
