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!

The invites are coming in and before the envelope is even opened you can feel the big NO rolling off your tongue.
Does being gluten-free make you think that you have to give up on fun events, parties, and outings?
We get stuck in thoughts of, “There will be no food for me”, “What if I eat something I shouldn’t”, and “What if I get sick?” Lots of what-ifs leave you stuck at home.
Being gluten-free doesn't mean living in deprivation and missing out. It means we must figure things out and get back out there to live our best life - not stay home on the couch watching another cheesy Christmas movie!
Join me in today’s episode to see how you can say YES to some of the holiday parties you think that you definitely should not be attending.

Are you feeling a little lonely being gluten-free?
Not finding the support you need - especially from your family?
When I went gluten-free, my family thought I made this up! They stopped cooking for me and didn’t get why I was making such a fuss about my food!
Now as a GF Coach, I have countless people who share that their family just doesn't support their gluten-free way of life and are lost as to what to do - especially if they still live at home.
This is a tricky situation!
Join me in today’s episode to see what we can do to get our family to understand our gluten-free needs, become supportive, and even get on board our gluten-free lifestyle.

How in the heck can you host a holiday meal with your whole family now that you're gluten-free? Should you? Could you?
It feels impossible . . . but it can be done!
Our first holidays were full of deprivation and missing out. I sat looking at all the food on the table that I couldn’t eat. I didn't want our life to look like that moving forward, especially at the holidays. Now we host and serve our entire family our gluten-free holiday feast with success (and they always ask for seconds!) and you can too. Dive into today’s episode to learn how.
