Why it works
- Autoimmune protocol (AIP): Made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil, without nightshades, seed spices, grains, or coconut.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Naturally gluten-free and prepared entirely without soy.
- Pregnant: Uses fresh low-mercury salmon, with no unpasteurised dairy or alcohol in the pan.
- Toddler (1–3): Mild flavours, tender roasted carrots, and easily flaked fish.
- Kid (4–12): Gentle herbed fish and naturally sweet roasted carrots with no mushrooms or spicy heat.
AIP check: watch for nightshade spices (paprika, chili, cayenne), seed spices (cumin, coriander seed), seed oils and hidden sugar. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
