The Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet supports delicious eating that is gluten, grain, soy, and poultry free. Jen Cuevas experienced her own journey to wellness by eating this way, and desires to share the message that life can still be delicious!
Just a few short years ago, Jen was ill with a multitude of issues (although not typical “Celiac” symptoms), including high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, sudden weight gain [over 60 pounds], Hashimoto’s, and arthritis (read more of her story here). After more than seven frustrating visits with various doctors, she finally learned about her gluten sensitivity and Celiac disease. In becoming well, she found that life without gluten was really great from a health perspective, but affected everything else that had a social factor.
In the time since her diagnosis, Jen has spent a lot of time learning. She was treated by Dr. Glen Aukerman (author: Better Health in 120 days) and attended all of his classes to understand the medical aspect of how various foods affect gluten sensitivity. After further health issues inspired her to do more research, Jen went completely grain and soy free in 2012, and became a certified coach under the direction of Gluten Free Society. She uses her own health journey to coach and inspire others to consider dietary changes as a way to achieve optimum health. In 2013 she established a support group, and found that food availability continued to be the biggest barrier to success. She began developing food products that support a grain-free, soy-free and even dairy-free lifestyle; many items are allergy-friendly and are free of refined sugars. She also offers allergen-free Communion to churches, raising awareness about the effects of gluten exposure.
Pam Jordan was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in January 2011 after struggling for fifteen years with symptoms. She is a working wife and mom to three young kids. With two of the three kids living Gluten Free, she shares the tips and tricks to survive school, parties, and holidays with Gluten Free kids. Her blog, ImaCeliac.com provides simple Gluten Free recipes, product reviews, and giveaways. Pam features their family weekly menu as a way to keep her family organized, on budget, and Gluten Free.
Pam has written 5 cookbooks and lifestyle guides about living Gluten Free. Her last two books made Amazon Best Sellers list. Pam travels the US to speak to groups about living Gluten Free, menu planning, and how to cook simple Gluten Free recipes.
Marie was raised in Queens, New York and developed her cooking skills in her mother/grandmother's kitchens, learning recipes passed down from the generations. But like so many people suffering from food allergies and sensitivities, good taste and family recipes became a challenge. Taking her own health issues seriously, she dedicated her career, as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, to helping people live a healthy life, and launched a mission to create deliciously indulgent recipes, free from ingredients like wheat-gluten-dairy-eggs-nuts-soy-corn, yet tasting so delicious, you will be in utter shock! Best of all, because the recipes are so delicious, you will be able to serve them to your families. Imagine, one meal, one great taste! Thus after long hours of substituting, changing and taste testing dishes, “Deliciously For You” was created.
Marie is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. She holds a certification in Naturopathic Nutrition and Eating Psychology Coaching and is a member of the International Alliance of Holistic Therapists and International Association of NLP Coaching. Marie is currently writing her next cookbook creating “Deliciously For You” Desserts!
