Welcome to Home Harvest Health, the place you will find delicious and nutrient dense recipes, tips for your home and kitchen, and inspiration; all to help you on your journey toward better health.
I’m Jamie, the creator of Home Harvest Health, a recipe developer, a nutrition-obsessed sweet tooth addict, and Mom to three always-hungry boys.
After having my first child, my health began to decline. After many visits to multiple doctors and specialists, inconclusive tests, missed diagnoses, and nasty treatments; I was no closer to having an answer, and I was getting worse. At this point I couldn’t care for our baby, I was in so much pain that I had to take a disability leave from work, I needed help getting out of bed and going about my day, and I was losing weight because I simply didn’t even have the strength to open food containers, much less cook a meal.
I never considered that the cheap processed (albeit delicious!) food I was eating could be the cause of my struggles, I just didn’t know any better. After some extremely dark months, my Mom actually came to me with the idea to get tested for Celiac Disease, and I set up the appointment immediately. The test and subsequent endoscopy came back positive, and my life changed forever.
As shocking as it may sound, I am forever grateful for my experience, even that lost year of my life. Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease set me on a path that has allowed me to be healthier now than I ever would have been otherwise. I was amazed at the improvement I felt after eliminating gluten from my diet; and became obsessed with learning everything I could about nutrition. Now, I feel wonderful, I will never take health for granted, my diet has evolved into mostly Paleo, and I love learning about the nutrient density of foods and teaching what I know to others!
Everyone has their own unique blueprint, and it is my mission to empower you to pinpoint yours. I am so excited to share my knowledge and experiences with you to help you live your healthiest, happiest, best life!
Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.
