Saying Goodbye to Gluten / Gluten-Free Living, Celiac Disease, Gluten-Free Support
Welcome to the Saying Goodbye to Gluten Podcast! Are you tired of trying to understand your gluten-free life on your own? I bet that you’re fed up with gluten knocking you down and disrupting your life! I created this podcast to share our stories, tips, and strategies that have helped my family, clients, and students create a healthy, thriving gluten-free lifestyle that is sustainable and delicious. Yes, sustainable because we have to live gluten-free every day all day, and delicious because we do NOT need to live in deprivation just because we’re gluten-free. We are growing into our gluten-free lives as we continue to learn about new recipes, products, food finds, and research to share in our gluten-free world. Listen to our talks and interviews, then make sure that you follow this podcast. Then, come over and connect with me on my website and in our GF Community. So, if you’re ready to create a sustainable and delicious gluten-free lifestyle . . . let’s go!
