    Grieving the loss of gluten sounds like an unusual concept, but for those diagnosed with celiac disease, the emotional journey is all too real. Imagine suddenly having to give up foods that have been a staple in your life, and the whirlwind of emotions that follow. This episode takes you through the often-overlooked emotional stages that accompany a celiac diagnosis.

    You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the five stages of grief when it comes to your new gluten free lifestyle: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Life changes dramatically when you're told to eliminate gluten, and these stages highlight the complexity of adjusting.

    This episode not only acknowledges these feelings but also provides comfort and encouragement, reminding you that whatever emotions you're experiencing are normal and part of a journey of healing and growth.

    What happens when your symptoms scream celiac disease, but your test results come back negative? In today's episode I'm chatting about non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) through the lens of personal stories, including my own celiac diagnosis and my son's journey with NCGS.

    Explore the complexities of living with non-celiac gluten sensitivity, especially in children who endure symptoms just as severe as celiac disease itself. I share about our experiences with both public and private gastroenterologists, and how they ultimately led to my son’s diagnosis. We'll tackle the misconception that gluten can occasionally be consumed with NCGS and argue for a more serious and diligent approach to its management.

    Imagine transforming your life by simply letting go—of clutter, of stress, of what's unnecessary.

Whether you're more inclined towards home workouts, hitting the gym, or exploring free online resources, I've got practical tips to kickstart your fitness regimen. I'll also highlight the importance of muscle recovery and offer advice on tailoring your workouts to accommodate any injuries or limitations.

    Could your lingering symptoms be perimenopause or the symptoms of accidental gluten exposure? Today, I reveal the often-missed signs and delve into the overlap between these two conditions, based on my own journey through the bewildering maze of perimenopause. From sudden dry skin to unexplained fatigue, we unpack the confusing array of symptoms that could either point to the onset of perimenopause or the aftermath of accidental gluten ingestion.

    This episode promises to empower you with the knowledge to better understand your body and recognize when you're entering this significant life phase.

    Join me as we demystify perimenopause, a term that’s been gaining attention but still remains shrouded in misconceptions. I break down what perimenopause really means, how it differs from menopause and post-menopause, and why those in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s need to be aware of it.

    I'll share practical tips on maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring adequate sleep, and the critical role of strength training. Whether you’ve been brushed off by doctors or are just starting to notice changes, this episode offers essential insights and support to help you navigate this transformative period with confidence.
