This week Gen goes solo to interview the amazing Amanda Torres on the podcast! Amanda is the creator of the food and wellness website The Curious Coconut and best-selling author of Latin American Paleo Cooking. She is currently writing a Fast & Flavorful Weeknight-friendly Paleo cookbook due to release in early 2020. Her professional background is as a neuroscientist and she worked for more than a decade in biomedical research, so you'll find plenty of fascinating science tidbits in all of her work. She is the lead researcher for the online fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood program Baby Making & Beyond. WHAT AMANDA IS ALL ABOUT: At the age of 25 after the intense stress of grad school, she found herself facing many painful and scary health conditions, including debilitating hidradenitis suppurativa, pre-diabetes, IBS, hypertension, as well as being obese. Western medicine only offered her a dozen different drugs and a bleak outlook. Knowing that there had to be a way to feel better, she adopted a Paleo diet, made lifestyle changes, and embraced Chinese medicine. This holistic approach allowed her to put the HS into remission, lose 80 lbs in a year (which she has maintained since 2010), and get off of all those medications. She was inspired to found The Curious Coconut in 2012 so that she could educate and empower people suffering through similar health struggles to take control and live healthier, happier lives. She talks about Chinese medicine, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, ancestral nutrition and delicious real food recipes, and holistic pet health. During this week’s episode we’re diving into a fascinating topic — Gua Sha Facial Massage! Amanda has become a bit of an expert on the subject [make sure to read her extensive blog post on the subject!] so we couldn’t wait to bring her on the podcast to chat! Facial gua sha is a specific type of massage adapted from ancient Chinese bodywork that utilizes a scraping tool to improve the elasticity of the skin, reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines, ease facial muscle tension, promote a brighter complexion, and promote lymphatic drainage. Gua Sha tools can also help facial oils and moisturizers to absorb better into the skin — and we are here for that! Gen and Amanda talk all about… ✨the benefits of Gua Sha ✨Amanda’s experience with Gua Sha ✨facial vs. body Gua Sha ✨advice for Gua Sha beginners ✨the best Gua Sha tools ✨contraindications for Gua Sha ✨Gua Sha vs. Facial Rolling Where you can find Amanda: Website: https://thecuriouscoconut.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/thecuriouscoconut Facebook: https://facebook.com/groups/thecuriouscoconut Episode Show Notes: www.rebelheartradio.com/podcast/episode51 Submit a Question for the Podcast! https://www.rebelheartradio.com/ask/ Connect with Cassie & Gen on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rebelheartradio

Latin American Paleo Cooking is a terrific new book of authentic Latin foods using Paleo substitutes for flour and sugar. You'll find plantains, cassava flour, potato, coconut flour, tapioca starch and more. Author Amanda Torres (The Curious Coconut) adapted her Puerto Rican mother-in-law's family recipes to a Paleo-safe diet. Amanda holds a Masters in Neuroscience and used Paleo foods and lifestyle principles to lose 80 pounds and recover from IBS and the auto-immune skin disorder H.S.  Having found Tara Grant's wonderful book on this disorder ("The Hidden Plague") Amanda was inspired to go Keto, heal her Leaky Gut and get her immune system under control. But she missed those Latin foods! (Listen to my podcast with Tara Grant on healing autoimmune disorders with diet awareness here). "Latin American Paleo Cooking" has 80 recipes without grains or dairy and most are Autoimmune Paleo adapted.  Starchy roots, tubers, and fruits make the dough for the many types of fritters, pancakes and turnovers featured here. There are desserts too but go easy on the starches and sugars... They're high in calories and may not digest well if you have issues with starchy carbs. Try some of these: Garlic Lime Shredded Chicken; Fried Plantain Sandwich on page 72 (pictured here), Queso Blanco on page 170 - white "cheese" made from Amanda's secret ingredients. It melts and stretches like regular Latin Queso! It's used in 9 recipes. For dessert, try the Coconut Milk Pudding or the "Rice" Pudding made from Yucca.  Chapters include Quick and Easy; Fiesta Foods; Family Dinners; The Essentials, and more.  Ingredients are available in Latin Grocery stores as well as online. Enjoy! Full Post
