Tracey Rollison

Tracey Jorg Rollison is a low-carb menu service planner, writer, editor, web developer, polyglot, homeschool mom and Saudi foreign student host parent who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. She has had a life-long struggle with health, beginning with an incorrect diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis at the age of two when in actuality, Tracey suffered from extremely severe allergies and asthma. The proper diagnosis resulted in her family having to raise everything she ate, or buy it from local farmers. Everything worsened again during college and grad school when she had to eat "normal" food. When as a mom she found Weston A. Price-style traditional nutrition, it fit perfectly with the lifestyle in which she’d grown up herself so she implemented it for her own kids. She also found Dr. Atkins and the Atkins Diet around the same time, and used it to get back in shape after having two of her three kids. She watched the rise of gluten-free awareness and the primal way of eating, and realized that there is a “sweet spot” where all of them intersect. She has a dicey relationship with estrogen, but a fun one with her husband, three bio kids, and several assorted “bonus” kids.
