Hi, I’m Jessica

I first started cooking in a healthy way to heal my daughter…

One of my daughters was born with poor gut health and it was such a difficult time. As a baby she had terrible colic, and cried and vomited a lot. We took her to rounds of doctors and health professionals but no-one seemed to have any answers. Eventually we were given adult prescription ant-acids to manage the reflux and sent home.

By the time she was a toddler, the rest of her health was suffering too.
My daughter suffered from:

• constant stomach pains, IBS

• earaches

• frequent colds, flus and infections

• dark circles under her eyes, very pale skin

• itchy skin rashes that would come and go

• hyperactivity and ADHD

When I was given a fourth round of antibiotics for my daughter’s persistent ear infection, I was really looking past my GP for answers.

My intuition was telling me there was a connection between food and her symptoms. I watched as some foods made her behaviours and symptoms worse… So I figured that the right foods might make her better.

I started experimenting with different elimination diets. We tried them ALL!

We even saw a naturopath for extensive allergy testing - leaving with a long list of healthy foods we should avoid but no timeline as to when we might be able to introduce some of them back. It was confusing, restrictive and hit and miss on her symptoms. I wasn’t sure it was helping.

Luckily, after a lot of experimentation, I finally hit the jackpot. I found the right diet and it changed EVERYTHING.

In two weeks I had a calm, happy smiling child. It was remarkable. We continued with this diet - and slowly ALL her health conditions cleared up. I had my daughter back!
