Easy Beef Stew Recipe (for the Instant Pot -or- Slow Cooker)

This easy beef stew can be made in either an Instant Pot or Slow-Cooker. A hearty and savory beef stew with tender beef chunks and your favorite vegetables. A healthy and comforting meal that is gluten-free and dairy-free. It’s perfect for those following the Paleo, Auto-Immune Protocol or Whole30 diet.

  • 2 teaspoons organic dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons organic dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon pink salt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon  gluten-free Worcestershire Sauce (I use Annie’s Natural Organic Worcestershire)
  • 1 tablespoon Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions for Instant Pot:
  • Turn on Instant Pot to the saute function.

What is functional medicine and how is it different from conventional medicine?

Functional medicine is a holistic approach that looks for the root causes of chronic health issues rather than just treating symptoms. Instead of focusing on individual organs, it views the body as an interconnected system and develops personalized plans to restore balance and function

What are the benefits of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care helps maintain spinal alignment and nervous‑system health. It can reduce pain, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural healing processes. Many patients see improvements in posture, headaches, and overall well‑being.

The gut plays a central role in digestion, immune function, and even mood regulation. A healthy gut microbiome supports better nutrient absorption, stronger immunity, and balanced hormones. Imbalances can contribute to issues such as anxiety, fatigue, and digestive discomfort.
