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!

Going gluten-free is an incredible start to regaining your health. Yet, at times, healing requires extra support.
 
Supplements can be an effective tool for restoring your gut, improving nutrient absorption, mitigating damage from accidental gluten exposure, and rebalancing your immune system. Yet, they also come with some precautions, and it's important to consider safety when choosing what's best for you. 
 
In this episode, Dr. Andrea Rosario dives into how supplements, circulation, and nerve healing can restore and protect your gut for lasting gluten-free health.
 
For over a decade, Dr. Rosario helped women untangle complex, chronic health issues in her Northern California clinic through the practices of functional medicine and functional neurology. Now, driven by her passion for teaching, a need to honor her own health, and a mission to create a greater impact on the well-being of our communities, she guides women online in decoding their body’s signals, discovering how it uniquely functions, and building a personalized path to lasting wellness.

Have you ever wondered if a Gluten Detection Service Dog could help improve your gluten-free lifestyle?
 
I am fascinated by this concept and had a lot of questions on how the whole process works.
 
Today, my guest, Kendra Williams, is going to educate us on all aspects of gluten detection dog work and how her own dog, Suki, has changed her GF life for the better.
 
Kendra is a Celiac Disease Educator & Advocate and Gluten Detection Dog Handler. She trained her dog, Suki, through Willow Service Dogs under Dawn Scheu. As a blogger and social media content creator, Kendra discovered the hunger for more.  Unfortunately, Kendra often hears tragic stories from people who tried to train a dog either on their own or through a trainer, and ended up with a sad story of a dog that was completely untrained.  
 
Professionally, she designs education and training programs for corporations. She took this knowledge and developed resources to answer the questions she had prior to training a gluten-detection dog.  She also wanted to help others not make the same mistakes she made on her journey.
 
Kendra also partnered with her good friend and fellow service dog trainer, Kari Bastyr, to design a series of courses to educate potential handlers on what they need to know prior to making the full commitment of training a service dog.
 
In our conversation today, Kendra helps us understand:
✅ how a Celiac Service Dog discovers gluten to keep you safe and healthy
✅ the benefits of having a gluten-detection dog
✅ Finding the right dog for the job
✅ training your dog, along with the cost and timeline
✅ And, steps to get started
 
Listen in to discover if a gluten-detection dog would be a good fit for you!

Traveling with Celiac Disease can be scary and may even feel impossible if you have just started living a gluten-free lifestyle.
 
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with a world traveler and fellow gluten-free warrior who shares how she explored the globe with her family—while navigating the challenges of Celiac Disease. From Italy to Japan, she opens up about the highs and hurdles of international travel on a gluten-free diet.
 
Courtney Radmall is passionate about helping others navigate gluten-free travel with confidence. She was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 10 years ago. At first, traveling felt overwhelming—packing her own food, researching endlessly, and worrying about finding safe places to eat. But over time, she learned how to prepare, advocate for her needs, and still enjoy incredible experiences with her family.
 
Recently, they took a round-the-world trip, which came with its challenges, but it showed Courtney that gluten-free travel is not only possible—it can be amazing. 
 
Courtney’s goal is to make travel less stressful and more enjoyable for others with dietary restrictions, so they don’t have to miss out on unforgettable experiences.
Join us in this episode to learn
How to gain confidence to travel with Celiac Disease
The easiest (and hardest) countries to travel gluten-free
What Courtney always packs in her GF travel bag
Tips for handling tricky food situations abroad
What to do if you get sick while traveling
Practical steps to prepare before your trip
 
Where do you want to plan your next trip?

Looking for ways to raise awareness during Celiac Awareness Month? 
 
Today on the podcast, I'm breaking down 10 real-life ways you can raise awareness and feel more supported in your gluten-free journey. Whether it’s educating your family, hosting a GF dinner party, or sharing your story, you can help others understand what Celiac really means.
 
This is perfect for those with Celiac, gluten intolerance, or autoimmune conditions looking to thrive gluten-free, so that you can help educate your family and friends to best understand what you go through every day. 
 
I’m also sharing fun facts so that we are all on the same page!
 
Listen in and learn how you can easily spread awareness this month.
 
Some ways you can help are:
Sharing GF food with friends and family to change the narrative about what society tells us!
Donating to your local food pantry - most don’t think about people with allergies, or Celiac Disease when donating (and then we are left without necessary food in a crisis!)
Host a talk at your child's school to share fun facts about Celiac disease so children can best understand why your child cannot eat gluten, and what that means.
Wear a GF t-shirt - yes! This opens communication and can start some great conversations.
 
Listen to the podcast for more amazing ideas that you can share this month and beyond.
