With the release of our recent e-book, the PSMF Guide, where we spotlight some incredible PSMF recipes courtesy of Maria Emmerich (cookbook author extraordinaire), we wanted to provide you with a resource roundup that you can use if you choose to try PSMF and incorporate it into your keto plan.

It’s important to consult your healthcare provider about what is right for you. Nothing in life is “one size fits all”–including the way you eat!
