Gluten Free is a relatively new concept for most of the world. Heck, in many places of the world, it's not something that is even recognized.

If those sound like questions you've wondered in y...

Grab a chair listeners and get ready!

Doesn't that title just give you shivers?

Knowing who we are AND then also knowing what we want to be in the world is a HUGE question that has all of us wondering what our answers are. It really takes some serious deep diving into ourselves to really figure out the answer to both parts of this question.

*Whew* How do we explain our conversation with Dr. Robb Kelly.

He's been on thousands of podcasts, so you have likely heard of him before, but just in case you haven't, here's the INCREDIBLE gist.
