Von der hinteren Coverseite: Hi, I'm Danielle.
I'm a wife, mom, and grain-free, gluten-free, and mostly dairy-free cook and baker from the San Francisco Bay area.

Odds are, if you're reading this book, you or someone you know is struggling with an autoimmune disease or some other health concern, and you're wondering if changing your diet can help. The short answer is yes! It most definitely can! The slightly longer answer lies in the pages that follow.

This book is my story, but it is also a love story--a story about loving food, loving family, loving friends, and loving yourself enough to take an active role in managing your own health. I have experienced a decade-long cycle of diagnosis, trauma, disease, grief, remission, setbacks, recovery, loss, and rediscovering faith, but one thing has held true: Food continues to save me. And my mission is to help others understand all the different ways food can help save them, too.

That's why I have written this book. I want to share my journey so that others battling chronic illnesses will know they're not alone--there is a path forward, there is healing, and there is hope.

The journey might not always be easy. But I can promise you it will be worth it.

Eat well and feel great, friend.
