"A review paper in The New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 "diseases" that can be caused by eating gluten. (iv) These include osteoporosis, irritable bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease, anemia, cancer, fatigue, canker sores, (v) and rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and almost all other autoimmune diseases. Gluten is also linked to many psychiatric (vi) and neurological diseases, including anxiety, depression, (vii) schizophrenia, (viii) dementia, (ix) migraines, epilepsy, and neuropathy (nerve damage). (x) It has also been linked to autism.(ix)"

| Above: I just want everyone to know how proud I am of them for participating in yesterday's event! Not only did you guys show your support towards a great cause, but you also represented CrossFit 808 very well. Even our "BEEF CAKE" shirts and tanks were a hit! Because of your participation in yesterday's event, Sharon's RIDE.RUN.WALK had a record breaking number of participants. Team CrossFit 808 was the second largest group, not to mention the medal winners: Linzy, Shay, Marsha and Hadyn. Great job everyone, and thanks again for being so awesome! |

Coach Elyse's favorite Paleo Fudgy Brownies:
This recipe is a modified version of the Health Bent recipe.
Yields: 12 cupcake brownies
Ingredients:
1.5 cups almond butter (Costco sells the smooth Mara Natha brand almond butter, my fav)
3/4 cup canned coconut milk
3 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup coconut crystals (or sweetener of choice)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (around 70% is good)
1/2 cup chopped mac nuts (optional)
...and coconut oil to grease your baking dish
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a cupcake tin with coconut oil.
In a bowl whisk together the almond butter, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Then add the cocoa powder, coconut crystals, and chocolate chips.
Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup into each muffin hole, and top with chopped mac nuts (optional). I like to fill each muffin hole to the brim.
Bake for approx. 15-16 minutes. (If you are using a regular 8x8 baking pan, then it will be more like 18 minutes.)
