Port Washington resident Cathleen Seaquist and her sister Tina Ellerby, a Schreiber High School graduate, are big fans of grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free eating. So much so, they’ve written the book: “Now Heal This: Eating to Save Your Life.”

Available on Amazon, the book features recipes to “help people maximize their body’s ability to heal, and to maintain wellness.”

For Ellerby and Seaquist, the book is a labor of love, and its message, very personal. Ellerby said she was taking 13 different prescription drugs until she changed the way she ate. Out went the grains, carbs, and sugars. And what she discovered was “health, wellness, and overall giddiness,” according to the book’s Amazon page.

Of course, healthy eating is admirable, but if the recipes are tasty, it’s of course easier to join the grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free way of life. Which was the case for Ellerby, as friends and family began asking her for recipes.

Soon enough, the idea of a cookbook was born. Seaquist, impressed with her sister’s improved health, signed up as co-author.

Ellerby says she regaled “her very patient husband, assorted family members, and friends, as her test panel” for each of her recipes.
