In her new book, Annabelle offers tips on how to maintain a real food (gluten-free and paleo) lifestyle with tasty recipes that blend fat-burning methods and nutritious ingredients. And many of the Ultimate Grain-Free recipes are Dr. Gundry-approved, such as Savory Butter Crackers, Gnocchi with Creamy Spinach, Butter Pecan Cookies and her decadent German Chocolate Cake (without zucchini).

 

Through her own lifestyle changes Lee came to better understand nutrition. Shortly after her first pregnancy she started to experience certain discomforting, autoimmune symptoms herself.

 

That’s when she took matters into her own hands.
