Want to sign up for my e-course (and not fall off the wagon!) and learn about eliminating cravings, developing effective self-motivating habits, and find new and delicious recipes that support your immune system and balance your hormones? From 2014 to 2017 I offered a beta version of my lessons for free and received incredible feedback. "Thank you so much. I feel like a little kid in a candy store when I received this e-mail." ~ Valerie In 2017 I began re-imagining the course and how it could help inspire and teach people even more effectively. "I just love your emails!!! You are such an inspiration to me!!! WOW!!! I've been living an alternative lifestyle for 23 years now and I'm still learning! Love it!!!

The Plant Paradox Program Q & A

Questions and answers about Dr. Gundry's Plant Paradox Program . The questions are found on the web. The answers are from me, Raederle Phoenix. Beverage Questions Can you have kombucha?

As they naturally ripen on the tree, the lectins go away. It is theorized that the tree does this intentionally so that its fruit will be most attractive – and thereby eaten – when ripe to assist in spreading its seeds. Until reading The Plant Paradox , I'd never heard o...
