Ep. 75 - Making Amazing Food on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for Ulcerative Colitis with Carmen Sturdy of Every Last Bite

<p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;">Today’s episode is a TREAT 😍 I had a conversation with Carmen Sturdy, full-time food blogger and cookbook author of Every Last Bite and it was OH SO GOOD. Carmen told us about her tumultuous story with Ulcerative Colitis and how digging in to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) actually allowed her to come off all of her medication for UC.</span></p> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Carmen saw SCD as a fun challenge - how can she make fun, yummy food in a SCD-legal way? She decided to take on that challenge and create a blog for others following SCD or other strict diets for chronic illness (and just diets in general.) I can tell you from experience (I have her cookbook!) that these recipes are SO GOOD and I’m not just saying that.</span></p> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I loved my conversation with Carmen and was so inspired by her story of using her chronic illness to create the life of her dreams. We had such an amazing conversation and I know you’ll love it!</span></p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 3 []"><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong>In today’s episode we chat about:</strong></span></p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Carmen's story with Ulcerative Colitis and how the Specific Carbohydrate diet helped her come off her medication</span></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What even IS the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and why did it work for her Ulcerative Colitis?</span></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Why Carmen started her blog, Every Last Bite (and eventually wrote her cookbook!)</span></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">How you can make amazing, yummy food on a strict diet for an autoimmune disease</span></p> </li> <li> <p class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt;">How some of the most difficult areas of her life actually helped her become her own boss and live her dream life</span></p> </li> <li>
