Today, I am blessed to have Anna Vocino with me. Anna Vocino is the founder of Eat Happy Kitchen and the author of two best-selling cookbooks. She is passionate about good organic food, high quality, no sugar added, and she sticks to a low-carb diet. 

After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2002, Anna made it her mission to create easy-to-prepare, delicious gluten-free, sugar-free, and grain-free versions of her favorite comfort foods. Today, she has published more than 300 recipes between her two cookbooks, hundreds more on her blog (annavocino.com), and now, even more, can be found inside her recently released Marinara Meals.

In this episode, Anna Vocino talks about Gluten, living a gluten-free lifestyle, harmful ingredients, and why laughter is the best medicine. Anna Vocino dives into healthy recipe alternatives, easy healthy recipes, and how too much consumption of sugar can be harmful for us. Tune in as we chat about Gluten, living a gluten-free lifestyle, harmful ingredients, and why laughter is the best medicine.

[07:59] Gluten-free Diet: What is it, How to do it, and Challenges

·       Gluten-free doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy.

·       Creating alternatives for recipes with Gluten is hard to replicate as particular qualities of gluten are hard to replicate.

·       Companies capitalize on keywords that are popular in the market. It is recommended to look at the ingredients of products.

[21:09] How to Encourage Your Kids to Live a Healthier Lifestyle

• Parents shouldn't push their agenda on anyone. Instead, they should model good behavior and habits.

• Keto is only for some. Families should take into consideration if it's applicable or if there are members of the family have certain medical conditions.

[30:17] Avoid These Ingredients At All Costs If You Are Doing Keto

• Any sugar is still sugar. It's best to use the least amount of sugar to make food rather than artificial sweetener.

• Gums and seed oils are ingredients that go through several chemical processes with deodorizers, which are bad for a person's health.

• Americans have a sweeter-pro palette due to many foods containing so many sugars, which makes them addictive.

• Grass-fed meats, pastured chickens, and eggs are cost-prohibitive for most people, but it is a better alternative for people and the Earth.

[47:55] The Surprising Health Benefits of Laughter

• Changing your diet to a low-carb way of eating can improve brain chemistry.

• Oxytocin is a type of Endorphin produced from laughter and joy that makes a person healthier.

• Protect your space and boundaries by removing toxic people from your environment, as it affects your actions and results.

• Negative emotions come from things we don't like or don't expect, and you will experience them from time to time. What's important is changing your emotional response to things.
