Why should you take cooking tips or health advice from a snarky 75-year old grandma who doesn’t own a restaurant, isn’t a reality TV star, doesn’t have a medical degree, and doesn’t particularly like to cook? Here’s why: her new book, “Brownies for Breakfast, A Cookbook for Diabetics and the People Who Love Them,” is a cool, fun, beautiful guidebook for anybody who wants to eat healthily: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, and sugar-free.
In This Episode:
- There is enormous empowerment in resetting your relationship with food, taking control of your health, strength, mindset, and mood.
- Lynne Bowman was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes more than thirty years ago and offers herself as living proof that you can cook, eat, sleep and walk your way out of type 2 diabetes, along with a huge number of other chronic ailments.
- That’s what she wants for you, and the people who love you, and “Brownies for Breakfast,” tells you exactly how you can do it.
- Lynne has been featured at women’s expos throughout the country, teaming with actress Deidre Hall to write and publish Deidre Hall’s Kitchen Closeup (2010) and Deidre Hall’s How Does She Do It? (2012).
- In previous lives, she won national awards as a creative director for Silicon Valley companies, was Creative Director at E&J Gallo Winery, Advertising Manager at RedKen Laboratories, and freelanced for agencies in San Jose, Los Angeles, and New York. She has also worked as an actress, makeup artist, screenwriter, illustrator, legal journalist, and television Weather Person.
- Lynne has three grown children, two absolutely perfect grandchildren, and is president of The Pescadero Foundation. She and her husband have a small farm on the coast of Northern California.
- One of the awful things about diabetes is you may not see drastic effects externally but it can be destroying your internal organs.
- We chat with Lynne about her book and what foods she uses to substitute for products that are on the NO GO List.
Quotes from This Episode:
” I just made a decision early in my life in my forties that I was going to do everything I had to do to stay healthy, stay on my feet, stay alive. I was a single mother of three. So I was determined to do what I needed to do.” Lynne Bowman
“What pumpkin does is it’s a great substitute for flour and oil, but it’s a vegetable it’s full of vitamin a and all this other great stuff. And it’s got no fat in it.” ~Lynne
