I focus on what I can eat, not what I can't

I focus on what I can eat, not what I can't

Some times I just want to be able to eat whatever I want. This feeling doesn’t go away after 25 years of being gluten-free, and 5 years dairy-free, but I have learnt to change my mindset. Now I choose to focus on what I can eat, not what I can't! The more I focus this way, the more I realise I'm not missing anything!

I have learnt to cook amazing food and you can too. When you learn to cook, you can cook the food you miss and life focuses more on what you can eat, not what you can’t. I had help on my journey from friends, family and the local coeliac society. They have so much information online and so many recipes to enjoy. If you have any questions, I'm happy for you to contact me via the form below.

Remember your 100% worth eating healthy for, and we're not missing out on anything because we are happy and healthy and I don't want to live any other way.

I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!

Emma Alexander-Cook.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
