In this eye-opening episode, we take a deep dive into the world of gluten-free diets and Celiac disease. The episode starts off by simplifying what Celiac disease really is - essentially, it's inflammation of the intestines caused by the proteins gluten and gliadin found in grains.
We then bust a common myth that gluten intolerance is restricted to humans or specific individuals. In reality, no mammal tolerates gluten completely. The level of intolerance can vary significantly, from minor discomfort to severe bloating and other unpleasantries.
The highlight of this episode is an in-depth analysis of the gluten-free industry. We discuss how big food companies are capitalizing on the gluten-free trend and potentially misleading consumers. We also touch on the fact that simply opting for gluten-free products doesn't necessarily mean a healthier diet or lifestyle.
We delve into the serious side effects of gluten, and not just for those diagnosed with Celiac disease. Many common symptoms, such as brain fog, severe fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, depression, and stubborn weight gain, are associated with the consumption of grains, whether they're gluten-free or not.
Towards the end of the episode, we discuss the importance of a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle. The focus should be on eating wholesome, natural foods instead of falling for marketing gimmicks from the food industry.
