According to Rob Hurlbut, Good Digestion Starts with Attune Foods
We interviewed Rob Hurlbut, CEO of Attune Foods, a venture backed functional food company. Attune Foods –introduced a line of chocolate probiotics in 2006 then recently purchased healthy breakfast cereals Uncle Sam and Erewhon to expand their digestive health portfolio. Their products are available in most grocery stores.
Your gut plays an important in your total overall health – he said 70% of your immune system relies on your gut. Rob shared the importance of probiotics for good digestive health and suggested three things you should to in order to maintain good digestive health.
- Remove the foods your are allergic to from your diet

Teriyaki Salmon on the Grill Recipe
Teriyaki sauce is a great marinade for salmon. Brush some teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon then let it sit in the sauce for at least 15 minutes then grill as usual. Keep the skin on the salmon when you grill to keep the fish more tender and to prevent it from drying out. A great side with this salmon is cucumber salad. Slice up some cucumbers and marinate them with a nice balasamic vinegar dressing.
