It is time to start my weekly blog post to highlight my guest for the following radio show! I am very excited about this opportunity to provide a platform to share these great stories!
Kat Garson is going to be the first guest for my radio show Let’s Get Real with Beth Wiles. The show airs on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. EST. Click here to listen in live at 11:30 a.m. or to listen to the archived podcast!
Kat has such a story that grabbed me when I first found her blog while researching the GAPS Diet and Specific Carbohydrate Diet a few months ago, in September, 2011. I saw my now-adult children (very close to her age) in her story, particularly my two sons! I know that her story also may sound like yours or that of someone you love.
I am excited about having Kat here to share some of her story of recovery from IBS and (undiagnosed–meaning she was already avoiding gluten when tested) Celiac Disease on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).
Kat enjoyed a typical adolescent and teen diet while growing up in Canada – one very similar to that here in the United States. She ate cereal with 2% milk to start her day, a sandwich for lunch, and meat, vegetable and grain for dinner. This sure does sound familiar to me, does it to you? This is much of what my diet consisted of for decades, and the same goes for my now adult children.
Kat was diagnosed with IBS at the age of 18 and began her circuitous journey of discovery and healing that led her to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) 7 years later in 2008.
Kat will share about her “Aha!” moment when her Naturopathic Doctor made a statement that provided insight into a dietary connection to her digestive issues. Kat will talk about first going gluten free for months before starting on the SCD. Her experience is not atypical of what others have discovered — gluten free is only a piece of the puzzle and not enough for complete healing!
Kat will also share about her experience of adding red meat and high quality animal fats back into her diet for the first time in years–it wasn’t easy for her! Kat has now followed the SCD principles since 2008 and experienced a very good year of health in 2011, the best year yet for her!
To learn more about Kat and her journey, read more at her blog: Kat’s Food Blog, which she started in January, 2008 when she started Intro of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). Kat has just recently left the 9-5 working world to follow her passion of helping others to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
ABOUT KAT:
“I have been following the SCD diet since January 2008 for undiagnosed digestive problems that I suspect are caused by Celiac disease. As part of the diet I don’t eat grains, sugar, or potatoes and prepare all my food from scratch. I believe that food plays a huge role in achieving health and want to share my experiences in restoring my own health through change in diet. ”
Kat is a real person who is here to share how she has recovered her digestive health in hopes that others may benefit from her experience. Plan to have your cup of coffee or tea ready and join us here for this great program!
