Sourcing Ingredients
There are definitely certain brands I recommend that are Paleo and I have also tested to confirm they are gluten free with my Nima Sensor. I find that about 30% of packaged items labeled gluten free actually have gluten in them. Here is my list of where to source your ingredients for all the recipes in the book.
Sugar Industry Paid Scientist
You can read the full article here on the New York Times.
Coffee
Mold Tested Coffee is made by Bulletproof which is also the diet that looks at mold in foods. Purity Coffee is also mold tested.
General Groceries
Thrive Market
Thrive is an online marketplace offering groceries including meats and fish and is an amazing resource. All of the pantry items that I use in the book can certainly be found on Thrive and their prices are great and will ship right to your door. You can get an extra 25% off your first purchase using this link.
Instacart
Instacart is a great grocery delivery service that I use all the time. A shopper will shop at your local grocery store and deliver it to your home. Most grocery stores are available on Instacart, including Whole Foods if they have Instacart in your area. It definitely makes your life easier. There are no excuses to stay on track when getting healthy groceries delivered is so easy. Usually groceries will be delivered within 1-2 hours.
Amazon Fresh
Amazon Fresh is also a great resource to get all of your groceries delivered right to your door. I tend to like Instacart a bit better since you have a real shopper getting your items and you have more control over replacements or adding last minute items.
Meats & Seafood
It is important to always use grass fed meats and wild fish since they have the most nutritional value. I always recommend finding a local butcher shop that has grass fed & finished meats as well as a store that sells quality wild seafood. This may be hard in some parts of the country, so fortunately there are some great online sources that can deliver quality meat and fish right to your doorstep.
Butcher Box
Butcher box Is an excellent resource for beef, chicken and pork. All of their meat is grass fed and grass finished and comes shipped right to your door. You can choose from pre-mixed box options or customize your own box. Make sure to use this link for special offers with your order.
US Wellness Meats
US Wellness Meats is another equally great resource for meats. Their meats are also grass fed and grass finished and you can select the cuts you want instead of a box. They also have great lamb, bison and seafood! Code TRAILTOHEALTH gets you 15% off your first 2 orders.
Wild Alaska Seafood Company
Wild Alaskan Seafood Company delivers wild fish right to your door. I get a box each month and it is super high quality. Code TRAILTOHEALTH gets you $15 off your first box.
Vital Choice
Vital Choice is a great online resource for sourcing high quality wild fish. They also ship right to your home and you can customize your order or you can get the Vital box which is a preset selection of fish. Code TRAILTOHEALTH gets you 10% off your first order.
Thrive Market
Thrive also recently started offering high quality meats and fish that they will ship right to your door. Similar to the others the items arrive frozen and you can customize your box.
Instacart
Instacart is a great resource that you can order your groceries online and get them delivered between 1-2 hours. This link gets you $20 off your first order.
Pantry Foods
There are quite a few pantry items that come up in my recipes quite a few times. You can shop most of these in my Amazon Store as well by scrolling down to Foods. You can also order all your pantry items on Thrive and have it shipped right to your house.
Fats For Cooking
I recommend cooking with Grass Fed Butter (Kerrygold or Vital Farms), Grass Fed Ghee, Unrefined Coconut Oil, Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, and grass fed Tallow or Lard.
Olive Oil
There is a lot of bad and fake olive oil out there. The only brand I trust and use is Kasadrinos Olive Oil. It is super high quality and code TRAILTOHEALTH will get you 10% off.
Spices
I ONLY use Spicely brand spices. They are not irradiated and they are all 100% gluten free and I have never had an issue with them. You can order directly on their site and use code TRAILTOHEALTH for 15% off your order!
Condiments & Dressings
Salad dressings and Mayo are a place where inflammatory seed oils can make up most of the ingredients. I absolutely love Primal Kitchen because it is all made from Avocado Oil and the ingredients are super clean. They make Mayo, Dressings, Sugar Free Ketchup and BBQ/Steak sauces that are all delicious. Also code TRAILTOHEALTH gets you 10% off your order.
Clean Wine
If you are going to drink wine, I recommend only Dry Farm Wines as there is no added sugar, it is super clean and also tested for mold.

There are a few must have tools for making some of the recipes in the book such as an Instant Pot and Food Processor. You can head over to my Amazon Store to shop my kitchen and all the products I use.

Diet & Ingredient Information
Elimination Diets that you can look into:
Whole 30 - Diet focuses on whole foods for 30 days. Not really geared towards chronic illness
AIP - Autoimmune Paleo, very strict elimination to help autoimmune conditions
Bulletproof Diet - This is the style I mostly eat. I like that this diet looks at toxins in food and their nutrient value
I also wrote a blog post on Why I Upgraded To A Bulletproof Diet From AIP.
