The Atkin’s diet is familiar to many since it has been around since the 1970’s.  Developed by Dr. Robert C. Atkins, it has some similarities to some other diets listed here which focus on high protein and low carbohydrates.  Meat, seafood, eggs, low carbohydrate vegetables, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats.  Many of Epiphany products contain these exact things.

Candida Albicans is an opportunistic pathogen that takes advantage of the gut while its defenses are down.  Symptoms include bloating, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, and gas.  The best combat for this overgrowth is to avoid sugars, caffeine, gluten, and drink little alcohol and eat plenty of fermented foods, healthy proteins and fats, gut healing food like bone broth, cabbage juice, and coconut oil.  We have plenty of these wonderful ingredients for you at Epiphany.

Hashimoto’s disease is a thyroid disorder and an autoimmune disease.  In fact it is the most common autoimmune disease in the United States which no two people have the same version of this disorder.  The fact that Hashimoto’s is so personal and specific, it can be difficult to make a generalized diet.  A person with Hoshimoto’s should have a diet tailored by their personal needs with direction from a doctor.

The Ketogenic diet focuses on converting the body into a state of ketosis, where the body is using fat for energy, as opposed to glucose.  This is achieved by focusing the diet on fat, with a low protein and extremely low carbohydrate intake.  Cheating on the keto diet can be dangerous, and maintaining a state of ketosis is tricky as it involves a high amount of discipline in food choices.  We have several options available at Epiphany.

The paleo diet, especially as it pertains to Epiphany paleo products, means that they contain no grains, dairy, refined sugars, yeast, soy or corn.  Our base flours are almond flour, coconut flour, flax meal, arrowroot starch, tapioca starch, and other nut flours.  We use coconut oil in place of butter and natural sugars such as coconut palm sugar, dates, honey or maple syrup in place of regular cane sugar.

The Plant Paradox Diet is outlined in the book, “The Plant Paradox” by Dr. Steven Gundry, that calls to avoid gluten as well as Lectin, which is a protein found in many vegetables, fruits, and nuts.  In fact, according to Gundry, gluten itself is a type of Lectin.  Fortunately, of the many seeds, nuts, and flours that can be consumed on the plant paradox list, almond flour is one of them.  Almond flour is one of our favorites at Epiphany bakery and makes up many of our products.

The word SIBO is an acronym for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, which basically means too much bacterial in the small intestine.  The SIBO diet is to conquer the overgrowth with diet and  in conjunction with with antibiotics.  People who have celiac disease are quiet vulnerable to SIBO, as celiac disease disturbs gut motility.  With this in mind options of food include:  Wild-caught tuna and almond, grass fed beef and lamb,  leafy greens, squash, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, bananas, blueberries, grapes, cantaloupe, and honeydew melons, pineapple, strawberries, quinoa and sprouted nut butters.

The specific carbohydrate diet was developed to treat Celiac disease in the 20th century by Sidney V. Haas, long before gluten was discovered.  The diet focuses on limiting diaccharides and polysaccharides(complex carbohydrates) which aims to heal gut damage.  Adherents to the diet should avoid cereal grains, potatoes, and lactose diary.

The vegan diet is to refrain from all animal products and focus only on plant based foods.  Some folks are vegan as a life while others practice for a limited time to heal.

The whole 30 diet focuses on eating pure food with no extra unnecessary ingredients for a period of 30 days to heal the body and lose weight.  The diet dictates that one should stick to only real and whole foods and avoid sugars, alcohol, legumes, and dairy.  The diet also asks to avoid baked foods and junk foods.  Though most foods at Epiphany are baked, we insist that none are junk.  Epiphany has simple and several whole ingredient products.
