Did you know that Gluten is known as the silent saboteur of your health? Today on the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast Debi talks to Whitney Morgan, licensed acupuncturist, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Primal Health Coach, and certified Gluten-Free Health Coach, about how gluten can affect every facet of your life including your sleep, micro exposures and cross reactivity, how it's all related, and why you might not be as gluten free as you think you are.
Whitney is the founder of Morgan Nutrition, creator of the Thyroid Reboot Method, and co-founder of the Functional Health Alliance. In this episode she discusses what gluten actually is and why it is not good for us, the benefits of a Paleo diet and the unholy trinity in nutrition.
