There are definitely a few things that you can do though so that food isn't all a little flat.
Biggest thing would be season with acids. It's often overlooked but vinegar actually lets you reduce the amount of salt that you use in a lot of things. When using it, think of it like you would salt; you don't want to taste the vinegar, it's just there to help build flavors without becoming prominent (exactly like salt). Using something like a white wine vinegar for soups/stocks/sauces and their derivatives can really make a difference.
Glutamic Acid (not msg) would be another way, but a lot trickier since a lot of its sources can be pretty salty, but its presence brings about umami which again enhances all the other flavors in something like salt does. Some of the ones that I can think of that wouldn't add too much salt to your daily diet would be tomatoes dried mushrooms (the mushrooms themselves are good, but the water that you rehydrate them in is like liquid umami), green tea, seaweed...theres a lot.
After that, depending on how much salt is being cut out, you could consider switching to seasoning with fleur-de-sel (sel gris works too, as does lava salt). These are finishing salts so they're used after cooking something, not before. It's great for salad, meat, anything really. Fleur de sel can be a bit expensive, like $10 for a box, but little bit goes a really long way (when I was in restaurants we went through a 6oz box of Maldon maybe every 4-6 months). A few granules put on top of something like a finished steak just makes the flavor explode when you bite down on a crystal.

Here is a link to a "simple" recipe for Ezekiel bread. I haven't tried it yet, because I can not find all of the ingredients, but it looks good, and has a nice story.
Didn't read through the recipe, but I'm assuming some of the specialty flours are whats giving you trouble to find. Check out
nuts.com, I'm pretty sure that they have everything on there, otherwise amazon believe it or not is a great place to buy specialty foods.
