Carmen Sturdy: Every Last Bite - Health Food Blogger, Healing Ulcerative Colitis & SCD

Summary: We Get to Know... Carmen Sturdy from health food blog, Every Last Bite. Carmen grew up in Vancouver Canada with a family who loved to eat. She spent a lot of her childhood in the kitchen watching her mom prepare inventive dishes. After graduating from University, Carmen moved to London, England where she started a career in investment banking. However, she spent every weekend in the kitchen cooking for friends or traveling around Europe and trying new cuisines. Carman chats about how at the age of 26, she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis which is an autoimmune disease similar to Crohns Disease. She spent months in and out of hospitals and doctors offices and was prescribed an endless amount of medication with terrible side effects. She began to research other options for treatment and came across the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which lowers inflammation in the body, allowing it to naturally heal. The diet is very restrictive and she was heartbroken at the limited number of bland and boring compliant recipes found online. She stuck to the diet and within 6 months was in drug free remission. As a result, she decided to create a blog to show others that although the diet is restrictive you can make delicious dishes. Carmen has seen great success and last year was able to quit her job in finance to blog full-time, GO CARMEN! www.everylastbite.com Visit wegettoknow.com to explore original and guest related content and to learn more about our podcasts and guests.
