Review and Giveaway of Digestive Health with Real Food and 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking!
Book Review: Digestive Health with Real Food
Thorough does not begin to describe this tomb of information. I have known Aglaee Jacob for a long time through cyber space and her work has always impressed me. She is a Registered Dietician who got fed up with the dogma at her diabetes educator job in a conventional setting and told them to take this job and shove it. At the same time she started having her own digestive problems. She traveled the world for a few years trying to find herself with her husband. Then she decided to go back to school to become a naturopathic doctor. She found the answer to her ailments were simple meaty paleo foods combined with Weston A Price and Gaps principles such as fermented foods and bone broth.
This book is full of charts and graphs with easy to understand language. She helps you customize a diet to your needs full. When I was in school the only book we had was Digestive Wellness by Liz Lipski, which is a great book, but it included many foods that don’t help digestion such as beans and rice. This book cuts right to the chase so you don’t have to waste time feeling like crap while you experiment with hard to digest foods.
She has lots of great info about how stress affects digestive health and I am so glad she gave that issue a whole section. She tells us how to do an elimination diet and how to add foods back in to test for reactions. She has a full section on supplements which starts with liver, bone broth and fermented foods. Those are my kind of supplements! She even has sections on what to do about constipation, fatigue, and sugar cravings.
If someone in your life is struggling with poor digestion or IBS this book would change their lives probably in just a few weeks. This is advice is cutting edge and second to none!

Book Review: The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking
Bill and Hayley, the authors of Gather and Make it Paleo, have come out with a great new book called 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking.
Their 30-Day Guide is divided in to three parts:
- An overview of reasons that paleo is healthier (than the SAD or any other diet).
- A 30 day menu plan and shopping list
- 75 recipes that are easy to prepare and budget friendly
This is a great book about how to implement the diet that is, as usual, filled with the amazing food photographs that they are well known for. The pictures look so good that people won’t mind going without their bread for 30 days. I have known Bill and Hayley for several years and I know how hard they work, practically non-stop. They have a passion for their Paleo lifestyle and they want to bring it home to you in the prettiest package possible.
They have been very open about themselves, sharing Hayley’s thyroid troubles and Bill’s nagging IBS and leaky gut. These stories that the authors share help the reader feel understood its motivating info that let’s them know they can get to the other side of their health challenge. They also let the reader know what to expect while going through their elimination diet which is helpful to know you were not the first person to feel some unpleasant symptoms.
I loved their first two books, Gather and Make it Paleo, which were instant classics for any real food kitchen. I know you will not be disappointed with this purchase that will break down this drastic lifestyle change into manageable bites for any age or lifestyle.

I would love to win this book to help me in my paleo journey!
Sounds very interesting but it’s a tome not a tomb.
I definitely need this book. I have been struggling with digestive issues for far too long. I am currently trying out Paleo to hopefully help me out. Feeling better already but I will take all the help I can get.
My name is Tara and I have an addiction to Paleo cookbooks. That’s why I want to win, lol.
I so have my eyes on these. Thanks for the review and the giveaway.
Cool stuff!! I love your site and your posts on Facebook.
I would love these books because I’m always looking for new information and recipes! I love cookbooks!
I am all for Paleo and I follow you every day! I have to be on this diet because of allergies and health reasons and it has changed my life. I don’t own one Paleo cookbook. This would be so awesome!!!
I want to win because I have been having trouble with increasing food allergies and weight gain. I’d like to try healing my body by eating foods that are good and healing rather than taking another pill or injection.
I want to win the “30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking” because I know nothing about eating a Paleo diet and that book sounds really helpful!
Caitlin,
Thanks so much for this chance to win! Aglaee’s book sounds excellent, especially for someone who suspects they have, ahem, SIBO and leaky gut.
Isn’t it funny, I was just looking at the Paleo Cooking book yesterday because I have been on low carb now since November last year. I’ve managed to fix a few problems but I still suffer from GORD and dermatitis on some fingers and I was looking for something that might give me a bit more information as to what I could do to fix these problems. Thanks for the chance of winning these great books.
I’ve been hearing wonderful things about Aglaee’s book! I’d love to win!
I am trying a paleo diet to see if it helps with my digestive issues, so I would like to read these. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m just starting my journey and need all the help I can get! 🙂
I would love to win these books. I have Hashimotos and am trying to heal my body naturally through good eating. Thank you.
I would love to get these books to help me work through my continued digestive issues despite being Paleo for 11 months now. Thank you for this give-a-way!
I have been dying to buy this book but haven’t had the money recently to do so. My Paleo journey started with Agalee. I had found her site a couple of years ago when I was super sick and trying to find a way to get my body back to functioning. If not for her site…I am not sure I would’ve survived. I am now healthier and happier because of her. I would LOVE a copy of her book…probably more than anything else right now. I send people to her site on a daily basis in hopes that they find the relief and health that she has shown me.
thank you for the great reviews! I would love to win this contest! I am starting to switch to a paleo lifestyle and the more info I could get…the better!!! 😀
I would looooove to win these! I’ve had a very stressful couple of years, and need to get on track 100% with digestive problems, cortisol, and these books would help greatly.
Would love a copy of Gather!
gather is not one of the books in this giveaway.
I’m a huge fan of your page… I’m so thankful for all your informative posts. I’d love to win these books because I know they’re truly a wealth of info. Since they’re being recommended by you. Thank you!!
This is so exciting! I must own these books!
I would love to win these because I have been struggling for 8 months to heal my digestive system. I’ve been eating primal/paleo for that length of time, but there’s still some issues that haven’t resolved.
Have been making a concerted effort to be Paleo since the beginning of 2013 and sometimes I just struggle. Would love to have this package as motivation and support to carry on with it all. Thanks for the opportunity!
Hello! The reason why I would like to win is because my mom has a hard time transitioning to Paleo, and I would love to give her this, because she has diabetes so I think this would be of tremendous help! 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
My family and I are new to paleo and with a lack of variety my husband tries to bring us back to our old diet. I would love this book so I can properly plan and learn new recipe ideas. Also I would like to learn about fermenting for my little ones.
I hear a slow-cooker makes it so much easier to cook delicious meals in less time! I’d love to make delicious recipes from the cookbook.
Thanks for the give away, new to life style think this would be a great start 🙂 “crosses fingers” Best of Luck to all!!
I would be very interested in winning because while I have been doing Paleo for longer, my parents and my aunt all have health issues that they are concerned about and just recently I have won them over to at least learning about Paleo! My parents have already started and these books would help.
I have had a hard time getting started. Partly because I live with my parents & it’s hard to get them completely on board. These books would help me SO MUCH.
They will believe after they see the changes in you. Start with yourself first.
I would love to win this book beacause it could help me understand Paleo better. I want to start living this lifestyle but need help.
I could really use The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking! I’ve been following SCD for almost 2 years now (as a pescatarian, which was tough!) and just started adding high quality meat to my diet. I only know how to cook super simple things and am always short on time. I could really use the help!
so happy to hear that you added meat to your diet!
I would love to win! So I can make my family yummy yummy! Food. Paleo lifestyle has helped with my diabetes, and other health issues.
I am new to the paleo lifestyle and I since I am a college student money is tight so I would love a chance to win these books!! I love your website!
I would love to learn more about Paleo and fixing my illnesses.
What a great giveaway! Thanks so much for this – I am really crossing my fingers now! I’ve started involving my mom in the Paleo way of eating and she loves it, too. These books would really help us go “deeper.”
Thanks for this giveaway. I’m enjoying your blog!
I don’t just want your books, I NEED your books. Finally on the road to recovery for my high blood pressure by eliminating grains and sugar from my diet. Doctors wanted to treat the symptoms which none of their prescriptions worked. Found my answer thru my chiropractor. Amazing.
Thanks so much for your giveaway!
I would love to win these books to help further my health transformation.
I need all the help I can get with my digestion! I am trying to heal! Thank you!
I would LOVE to with Digestive Health with Real Food..I’m hoping it would help with my ulcerative colitis.
I would greatly appreciate winning the giveaway books. We struggle with the diet of one son who has Crohn’s. We have had success with SCDiet, but need to find even tighter solution for times when the diet isn’t helping. Also, I am Type II diabetic, and trying to lose weight which seems impossible at my age. And I have carb cravings that I would like to go away. I appreciate your giveaway, and all who enter hoping to heal their gut issues. Blessings!
Would definitely love this book in my library!
While I have been Paleo for just about 1 year now, I am still having some digestive issues that won’t/haven’t completley resolved. I think these books would be a great help to me in figuring out what is still going on.
What is the paleo diet? The paleo diet, also known as the caveman diet, is a modern diet that attempts to mimic the diet of humans who lived during the paleolithic era prior to the development of agriculture. This diet primarily consists of foods that would have been available to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin first popularized the paleo diet in the 1970s with his book “The Stone Age Diet”. In it Voegtlin argues that humans are evolved predominately to be carnivors and should eat mostly fats and proteins with a small amount of carbohydrates for peak health.
I love Paleo cookbooks and also your FB posts!
Would love to win this to help on my health journey. So many things I want to turn around including leaky gut for starters. Unfortunately, I am on a very small budget since I have been unable to work because of health issues since 2006 and I am unable to purchase most resources that I need to help me.Thanks for offering this giveaway!! Someone will be truly blessed!!
Both books sound great. Sign me up for the giveaway, please!

I’ve been having digestive issues for a year & am searching for answers all over the place! Would love to win this!
My family and I have recently started eating Paleo and these books would help our transition enormously.
I am new to Paleo and would love to have your book to help me along the way.
Knowledge is power! 🙂
Paleo intrigues me and I think it is something that would work for me, the guide would definitely help. Always good to know about proper digestion, and I can pass it on to my friend who has Crohn’s Disease.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I so have my eyes on these. Thanks for the review and the giveaway.
I’ve just recently started to learn about paleo. I’d love to win this book because it seems like a complete step by step breakdown of how to begin. I really love that it has a menu plan and shopping list which is exactly what I need. I really hope I win!
I found out about paleo lifestyle not very long ago and it just makes sense to me. Iam currently finishing my school as holistic nutritionist and my passion is cooking and eating delicious food. I would love to have these books to experiment with new recipes and also boost my digestion (non stop process) . Thanks for this giveaway!
I would like to win this book as I am just starting my Paleo journey as well as my husband and our girls! My husband has a LOT of digestive issues and I feel this book would help me to understand why he has so many digestive issues AND how to help him feel better and hopefully be healthy for the first time ever in that area! Plus I have a LOT of yeast issues that I’m trying to understand how to correct and help me out. For our kids I just think it would be better for them to learn how to eat healthy so they don’t have any problems when they get older! 🙂 Thank you for the great giveaway!
