1. Buy in bulk from big box stores like Costco, Sam’s Club or Bj’s Wholesale.

2. Look for coupons in the mail, newspapers, online or grocery store apps.

3. Create weekly menus with your budget in mind.

4. Shop around the perimeter of the store. -The middle aisle usually contains processed foods that you want to avoid.

5. Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season. Seasonal fruits and veggies are less expensive than when out of season.

*Bonus: Buying the fresh cuts of meat with the higher fat content is less expensive than the lean cuts which is better for increasing the fat ratio on the diet.

My son, Nathan, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome shortly after his second birthday. He didn’t walk until he was almost three years old. The prognosis that doctors gave him was grim. He wouldn’t be able to walk, talk, or do much of anything. The doctors said that Nathan would have epilepsy, constipation, feeding issues, acid reflux, and sleep issues. Therefore, he would require lifelong care.

Today, Nathan runs, says “Mama and Papa”! Nathan’s seizures, that started when he was 15 months old, have stopped due to dietary therapy. Also, he has no more acid reflux, no more constipation! His sleep disorder is under control without medication. He sleeps ALL NIGHT! We have beaten the odds of Angelman Syndrome. He is not lucky, his progress was not by chance but because I started him on dietary therapy very early. Monitoring his health very closely has been crucial. Very specific, and in-depth testing, allowed us to dial in his health like a fine tuned race car.

This is the hope and inspiration I want to share with the world! His genes are not his destiny.
