  • Fish high in mercury: AVOID

These are king mackerel, shark, swordfish, and tilefish. And if by any chance you get your hands on whale, make sure it doesn’t go in your mouth too.

Nour’s guidance and expertise was the key to dramatically halting our son’s [Crohn’s] disease progression! His pediatric gastroenterologist is now in agreement of our choice to treat solely with diet and supplements. All his labs have improved and his inflammatory markers are so low they are practically nonexistent.

Before working with Nour, I experienced intestinal pain off and on for for 54 years with minimal success on medications. I have benefited 100% from Nour’s program as I am now pain free!
