Going Gluten Free With Heather K. Jacobsen

Heather K. Jacobsen visits Perfectly Healthy And Toned Radio to share her story and discuss her book,"Going-Gluten Free". Heather K. Jacobsen is an author, researcher and founder of the online magazine, Stuffed Pepper. She has an MSc in Ethnobotany, and worked at the National Academy of Sciences. Always fascinated by the endless ways plants are incorporated into every day life, she dreamt of roaming jungle forests with indigenous tribal leaders, in search of native flora with untold healing properties. Instead, she found herself taming the wilds of nutritional science as she dealt with health issues that no conventional doctor seemed to be able to solve. As she worked to unravel the true science between gluten, grains and chronic disease, it turns out that maybe Heather is the modern ethnobotanist... not exploring plants in the wilderness, but exploring how removed we have become from the wild, and how that has adversely affected our health in so many ways.
